Verse 1
The genuine Apostolic word
From every chosen instrument
We hear as from their heavenly Lord,
Honour the Sender in the sent,
Our ear, and willing heart incline,
And prove by faith the word Divine.
Verse 2
But who th’ Ambassadors despise,
Their office, word, and person scorn,
Refuse a message from the skies,
From God and not from man they turn,
Divine authority disown,
Reject the Father and the Son.
