Acts 28:9: So when this was done, others also, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Pa UL for his companions pays
At Jesus's expense,
In the Heathen's eyes displays
His Lord's omnipotence;
Makes it on their bodies known,
That then their languid souls may prove
Health restored through Christ alone,
And bless His pardoning love.
Debtor both to Greek and/ra',
Did he not Christ proclaim?
Debtor to Barbarians too,
He preach'd where'er he came;
(Conscious of his Master's mind
When to remotest countries driven)
Preach'd the Saviour of mankind,
The Peace of earth and heaven.
