[He did not his assistants call]

Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified, &c. —xviii. 5.

He did not his assistants call
Himself in Jesus' work to spare,
But labouring still surpass'd them all,
And strove with more unwearied care
Jesus the Christ to testify,
The God supreme, the Lord Most-High.
Our whole delightful task below
Who have His ministry obtain'd,
Is Jesus to declare and show,
In spirit press'd, by love constrain'd,
To tell, Ye all may Jesus find,
King, Priest, and Prophet of mankind.
