[Who but the Holy Ghost can make]

The Holy Ghost hath made you overseers. —xx. 28.

Who but the Holy Ghost can make
The genuine gospel-minister,
The bishop, bold to undertake
Of precious souls the awful care?
The Holy Ghost alone can move
A sinner, sinners to convert,
Infuse the apostolic love,
And bless him with a pastor's heart.
Not all the hands of all mankind
Can constitute one overseer;
But spirited with Jesu's mind,
The heavenly messengers appear,
They follow close with zeal Divine
The Bishop great, the Shepherd good,
And cheerfully their lives resign
To save the purchase of His blood.
