Dispensers of the gospel grace

Verse 1
Dispensers of the Gospel-grace
Visit their flock in every place,
The state of each to see,
To water what their hands had sow’d,
And mark their children’s growth in good,
In faith and charity.

Verse 2
The church ingrosses all their care,
Anxious how every soul may fare,
They every soul attend,
From place to place unwearied go,
Till all their faithful toils below
In rest eternal end.
