[Jesus the faitful pastors keep]

Therefore watch, and remember, that by, &c. —xx. 31.

Jesus the faitful pastors keep,
And stir us up to watch and pray,
As guardians of Thy lambs and sheep
To warn them both by night and day;
To' uncase their Antinomian foe
And all his crafty windings show.
Remember Lord our griefs and fears
Lest Satan make our labours void,
Lest all Thy work (a work of years)
Be instantaneously destroy'd,
(A triumph for the Gnostic fiend,)
And shipwreck'd faith in ranting end.
