[Those sacred hands on sinners laid]

Yea, ye yourselves know, that these, &c. —xx. 34.

Those sacred hands on sinners laid
Had oft the Holy Ghost convey'd,
And special wonders done,
Yet labour'd hard for needful food
That you who serve the church of God
May in his footsteps tread.
Those callous hands extended see,
Nor count it strange like Paul to be
Neglected or forsook;
Whate'er yourselves or household need
Rejoice to earn your daily bread,
And still to Jesus look.
