Verse 1
Behold th’ apostles of the Lamb!
They follow meek, wherever led,
Who preach’d the truth in Jesus name
They come to suffer, as their Head,
With power divine endued and fill’d
To man’s authority they yield.
Verse 2
They will not enemies withstand,
Or use their power, themselves to save,
Their lives are in the Saviour’s hand,
In whom they full affiance have
And know, their Lord will keep his own,
Till all his will and work be done.
