[Forth against all the world he goes]
To bear My name before the Gentiles, and, &c.
—ix. 15.
Forth against all the world he goes
Whom Christ vouchsafes to choose,
The Gentile ignorance to' oppose,
The stubbornness of Jews;
War with the rich he dares proclaim,
On pride and grandeur fall,
And through the power of Jesu's name
He more than conquers all.

Master, if me Thou canst employ
Thy poorest messenger,
Even I the tidings of great joy
Before the world declare;
The name which sure salvation brings
I live to testify
To Heathens, Pharisees, and kings,
And in the service die.
