[And let the Spirit bind]
And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit, &c.
—xx. 22.
And let the Spirit bind
A preacher of the word
To do and suffer all the mind
Of his beloved Lord;
Prepared alike to' endure
Or act, at Christ's command,
He leaves his threaten'd life secure
In his Redeemer's hand.

In his Redeemer's hand.
Not careful to foreknow
What may himself befall,
But only after Christ to go,
As guided by His call;
Assured whom Jesus sends
He covers with His power,
And still His messengers attends,
Till time shall be no more.
