[The prophets spake of Jesu's grace]

Herein is that saying true, One soweth, and, &c. —iv. 37, 38.

The prophets spake of Jesu's grace,
The seed immortal sow'd;
The' apostles reap'd the ransom'd race,
And brought a world to God.
The prophets and apostles too
For us the way prepared,
And if their footsteps we pursue
We share their full reward.
