[Who heard the heaven-instructed man]
And...Paul...continued his speech until midnight.
—xx. 7.
Who heard the heaven-instructed man
They did not of the length complain,
Or count the passing hours;
The longest night must short appear,
If God bestow the listening ear,
And love the heart o'erpowers.
They did not of the length complain,
Or count the passing hours;
The longest night must short appear,
If God bestow the listening ear,
And love the heart o'erpowers.
Happy the souls allow'd to hear
Jesus' enlighten'd minister
Discoursing on his Lord!
Happy like them even now we may
Attend the preacher night and day,
Nor lose one precious word.
Jesus' enlighten'd minister
Discoursing on his Lord!
Happy like them even now we may
Attend the preacher night and day,
Nor lose one precious word.
We still may his epistles read,
With Paul's celestial doctrine fed,
And bless the messenger,
Nor envy those who heard his voice,
While day and night our hearts rejoice
The Lord Himself to hear.
With Paul's celestial doctrine fed,
And bless the messenger,
368
While day and night our hearts rejoice
The Lord Himself to hear.
