[Who only seeks his Lord to praise]

Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul. —xi. 25.

Who only seeks his Lord to praise
Would all into the service press,
On every creature call;
Use every help to make Him known
Who did for the whole world atone,
The dying Friend of all.
Joyful to share his happy toil,
Suffice for him if Jesus' smile
His faithfulness approve;
Rivals in fame he cannot fear
A man of piety sincere,
And fill'd with faith and love.
