Acts 20:22: And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)

Religion

And let the Spirit bind
A preacher of the word
To do and suffer all the mind
Of his beloved Lord;
Prepared alike to' endure
Or act, at Christ's command,
He leaves his threaten'd life secure
In his Redeemer's hand.

Not careful to foreknow
What may himself befall,
But only after Christ to go,
As guided by His call;
Assured whom Jesus sends
He covers with His power,
And still His messengers attends,
Till time shall be no more.
