[The Lord who sends by whom He will]
A certain Jew named Apollos,...an, &c.
—xviii. 24, 25.
The Lord who sends by whom He will
Doth oft out of the people choose
A man of eloquence and zeal
Made ready for the Master's use,
Arm'd with the Spirit's two-edged sword,
'Gainst sin, the world, and fiend to fight,
And mighty to expound the word
And manifest that heavenly light.

'Gainst sin, the world, and fiend to fight,
And mighty to expound the word
And manifest that heavenly light.
Prepared to make their Saviour known,
Earnest to propagate His love,
The call extraordinary we own
Of men instructed from above,
Our lack of service to supply
Who minister in sacred things,
While bold to all they testify
The grace that sure salvation brings.
