[Their sacred charge who undertakes]

They immediately left the ship and their father, &c. —iv. 22.

Their sacred charge who undertakes
The' apostles' genuine successor,
He all his earthly hopes forsakes,
With all his fond attachments here,
Puts off his nature's soft excess,
And only lives his God to please.

160

Lord, we Thy Spirit's call obey,
The servants of the church below,
Without regret, without delay,
Our friends, our all, for Thee forego,
And find, enrich'd by poverty,
Our more than all restored by Thee.
