[Partakers of Thy ministry]

They are not of the world, even as I am, &c. —xvii. 16.

Partakers of Thy ministry,
The men who still are sent by Thee
Are men, not of the world but God;
They all its vain desires deny,
Against its evils testify,
And tread the path their Pattern trod:
Thy mind and Spirit they possess,
The tempers of their Lord express,
Acquainted with Thy sorrows live,

55

Themselves of no repute they make,
And poor becoming for Thy sake,
Thy cup in life and death receive.
