Acts 20:8: There were many lights in the upper chamber, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Who after the first Christians tread,
Will all the works of darkness shun,
"In secret have we nothing said,
In secret have we nothing done,"
But walk as children of the light,
Unblamable in open sight.
Yet heathens still by Satan taught
Repeat the old exploded tale,
Crimes in our midnight meetings wrought,
Horrible mysteries of hell,
Reason's reproach and nature's shame,
Fit only for themselves to name!
