Acts 20:32: I commend you to God, and to the word, &c

To succour man whate'er is done
On earth, Thou dost Thyself alone,
God of the ransom'd race,
Wherefore with Thee my flock I leave;
To Thee may all my children cleave,
And to Thy word of grace.

Thy word of grace sufficient is,
To stablish them in perfect peace
Without my ministry,
To build them up in holy love,
And qualify for joys above,
And lodge them safe with Thee.

Who in Thine oracles delight,
There let them find by day and night
Communion with their Lord,
Thou by Thy Spirit the truth apply,
To save, and wholly sanctify
The searchers of Thy word.

Then, then to their immortal state
The doers of Thy word translate,
Bright as the stars to shine;
With all Thy saints on earth renew'd,
Wash'd in Thy sanctifying blood,
And seal'd for ever Thine.
