Acts 20: Nor need we mournfully complain

Nor need we mournfully complain
O'erwhelm'd with grief so quickly o'er;

So soon we all shall meet again
Triumphant on the' eternal shore.
Bishop supreme, Thy people bless
With bishops after Thy own heart,
Who may, as vessels of Thy grace,
Blessings to all our souls impart,
Greatest, as ministers of all
Their apostolic function prove,
As genuine successors of Paul
In zeal, fidelity, and love.
