[The servant of the Lord]
In the day time He was teaching in the, &c.
—xxi. 37, 38.
The servant of the Lord,
Who Jesu's charge receives,
A faithful steward of the word,
A wrestling Jacob lives.
God and the multitude
His sacred labours share,
His day is spent in active good,
His night in fervent prayer.
Who Jesu's charge receives,
A faithful steward of the word,
A wrestling Jacob lives.

His sacred labours share,
His day is spent in active good,
His night in fervent prayer.
Before the rising morn
He comes his flock to feed,
His flock with hungry hearts return,
And seek their daily bread:
Their love and earnestness
The pastor's zeal improve,
The pastor's zeal doth more increase
Their earnestness and love.
He comes his flock to feed,
His flock with hungry hearts return,
And seek their daily bread:
Their love and earnestness
The pastor's zeal improve,
The pastor's zeal doth more increase
Their earnestness and love.
