Text Based On Acts Chapter 20
Also of your own selves shall men arise,
speaking perverse things, to draw away
disciples after them.

The Highest and The Holiest Place

The highest and the holiest place
Guards not the heart from sin;
The Church that safest seems without
Will harbour foes within.

Thus in the small and chosen band,
Beloved above the rest,
One fell from his apostleship,
A traitor-soul unblest.

But not the great designs of God
Man's sins shall over throw;
Another witness to the truth
Forth to the lands shall go.

The soul that sinneth, it shall die;
Thy purpose shall not fail;
The word of grace no less shall sound,
The truth no less prevail.

Righteous, O Lord, are all Thy ways;
Long as the world endure,
From foes without and foes within,
Thy Church shall stand secure.
