The ministry instituted. L. M. HE Saviour, when to heaven he rose, In splendid triumph o'er his foes, Scatter'd his gifts on men below, And still his royal bounties flow. 2 Hence sprang the' apostles' honour'd name, Sacred beyond heroic fame: In humbler forms, before our eyes, 3 From Christ they all their gifts derive, 201 The commission. L. M. YO, preach my Gospel, saith the Lord,Bid the whole world my grace receive; He shall be saved who trusts my word, And he condemn'd who won't believe. 2 I'll make your great commission known; And ye shall prove my Gospel true, By all the works that I have done, By all the wonders ye shall do. 3 Teach all the nations my commands,- Who bring salvation on their tongues, 3 How happy are our ears, 206 The pastoral office. LET Zion's watchmen all awake, C. M. And take the' alarm they give; Now let them from the mouth of God Their awful charge receive. |
