[Jesus in all times and places]

Certain of the chief of Asia, which were his, &c. —xix. 31.

Jesus in all times and places,
For His providential ends,
To His threaten'd servants raises
Secret, unsuspected friends;
Our well wishers at a distance
Till the Ephesian beasts appear;
Then their counsel or assistance
Saves the Saviour's messenger.
