[Servants of God, by Jesus' love]
Serving the Lord...with...tears, and temptations, &c.
—xx 19.
Servants of God, by Jesus' love
Are not exempt from grief and pain,
Though caught to the third heaven they prove
That still on earth they are but men,
Through sinners' contradiction here
For others, sorrowful they mourn,
Yet guided by the Comforter
With songs of joy to God return.
Are not exempt from grief and pain,
Though caught to the third heaven they prove
That still on earth they are but men,
Through sinners' contradiction here
For others, sorrowful they mourn,
Yet guided by the Comforter
With songs of joy to God return.
The' apostle gloried in distress:
Yet when his ambush'd foes essay'd
To stop the course of gospel grace,
And oft prevail'd with Satan's aid;
Those haters of the' incarnate God
Who made his Saviour's eyes o'erflow,
The same bloodthirsty men he view'd,
And weeping traced the Man of woe.
Yet when his ambush'd foes essay'd
To stop the course of gospel grace,
And oft prevail'd with Satan's aid;
Those haters of the' incarnate God
Who made his Saviour's eyes o'erflow,
The same bloodthirsty men he view'd,
And weeping traced the Man of woe.
