[Luke and Aristarchus too]

Entering into a ship...we launched, &c. —xxvii. 2.

Luke and Aristarchus too
With the suffering saint remain:
Love can all things bear and do,
Love esteems the prisoner's chain;
Keeps and will not let them part,
One in state and one in heart.
Two or three in Jesus' name
Met, according to His mind,
Did they not the promise claim?
Did they not the promise find?
Boldly launch into the deep,
Safe with Jesus in the ship?
