Page:Elegy on the much lamented death, of the Rev. Mr. Thomas Monteith, late Minister of the Gospel in Dunse, who departed this life the 22d of May, 1787.pdf/8

 It pow'rful is and meritorious,

When that the perſon is ſo glorious

What think ye of him as a Prophet?

There's many think but little of it:

Yet, ſuffer him to teach you by

His Spirit, which can never lie.

What think ye of him as a King ?

He will to you ſalvation bring:

And rule and reign within your heart,

Then from you he will never part.

What think ye of him as a Judge?

O may he then be our refuge:

Happy and bleſt we then ſhall be,

Through ages of eternity.
