[No preachers of Thy gospel they]

Teaching them to observe all things, &c. —xxviii. 20.

No preachers of Thy gospel they,
Who teach believe, but not obey;
The faithful servants of their Lord
Enforce Thy every sacred word,
By precept and example press
True, universal righteousness.
Themselves instructed from above
Who preach the law of faith and love,
Whate'er they at Thy mouth receive
Who freely to Thy people give,
Thy Spirit owns their ministry,
Thy presence proves them sent by Thee.
