All are not prophets of the Lord,
Yet every faithful soul may share
A prophet’s infinite reward,
Who doth for Jesus’ servants care:
The man that speaks in Jesus’ name,
I pray my God his toil to crown,
And thus his promis’d wages claim
Who make by faith his work my own.
All are not prophets of the Lord
