Acts 25:12: Unto Cirsar shalt thou, &c

So a superior order wills
Which Fcstus cannot see,
While ignorantly he fulfils
The' omnipotent decree.
The secret springs of Providence
Which rule our actions here
Are unperceived by grosser sense,
And but to faith appear.

Beneath the purposes of men
Our God His own conceals,
Conducts the deep mysterious plan,
And governs all the wheels.
The thing His agents least intend,
To do His will they come,
And Jews, combined with Gentiles, send
His messenger to Rome.
