Acts 24: And have hope toward God, which they, &c

God is my hope and portion here,
And till I at His bar appear
Body and soul with Him I trust:
My enemies themselves confess
That Jesus shall our bodies raise,
Judge of the wicked and the just.

My hope by purity I show,
By labouring all my time below
A spotless conscience to maintain,
With that immortal prize in view,
Careful to render all their due,
Unblamable toward Cod and man.
