Lord Jesus, in a
perverse way, your accusers were right--
all over the land,
you did stir up the people, but it
was for good, not for
ill. And your apostles
continued the stirring
in Samaria,
and who could count
all
the saving deeds
performed in
your name over
the generations that
followed? By awesome
deeds you have
answered us
with
deliverance. You are the hope
of the ends of the
earth, of the farthest seas.
