Acts 27:35: He took bread and gave thanks to God, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

Religion

In presence of the Pagan crowd
He shows his faithfulness,
And asks the Giver of their food
To sanctify and bless.
Jesus' Jehovah's worshipper,
He stands in open day:
But Christians before Christians fear
And basely blush to pray.
