[A warm concern for Jesu's name]
And when he was disposed to pass into, &c.
—xviii. 27.
A warm concern for Jesu's name
Is not to one estate confined:
People and priests may all proclaim
The dying Saviour of mankind:
The ministerial spirit may rest
On men who want the character,
With graces, gifts, and talents bless'd
To preach the heavenly kingdom here.

The dying Saviour of mankind:
The ministerial spirit may rest
On men who want the character,
With graces, gifts, and talents bless'd
To preach the heavenly kingdom here.
The' company of faithful men
Should such with willing hearts embrace,
And suffer God Himself to' ordain
The chosen vessels of His grace:
The' apostles' successors below
With glad alacrity should join,
Not to impart, not to bestow,
But recognise their call Divine.
