Verse 1
God to Apostolic men
An holy freedom leaves,
By some secret way unseen
The true direction gives,
Oft his servant’s heart inclines
To that or this distinguish’d place,
Answers thus his own designs,
And manifests his grace.
Verse 2
By the Spirit’s instinct led,
And not by flesh and blood,
Let the minister proceed
As call’d and sent of God:
God who joins his witnesses,
Doth each from each far off remove:
All things work t’ ensure the peace
Of those that Jesus love.
