[The prisoner of the Lord]

And were desired to tarry with them seven days. —xxviii. 14.

The prisoner of the Lord,
But His apostle too;
He own'd the pardoning word
Was every sinner's due,
Nor could, wherever sent, delay
His evangelic debt to pay.
Employ in every place
With precious souls he found,
And made their hearts confess
The word could not be bound,
Which captive leads captivity
And bids a sinful world be free.
