     4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus. 5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister. 6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus: 7 Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. 9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, 10 And said, O full of all subtlety and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? 11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. 12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.(KJV)

1. May God bestow on us His grace, 
With blessings rich provide us, 
And may the brightness of His face 
To life eternal guide us 
That we His saving health may know, 
His gracious will and pleasure, 
And also to the heathen show 
Christ’s riches without measure 
And unto God convert them. 

2. Thine over all shall be the praise 
And thanks of every nation, 
And all the world with joy shall raise 
The voice of exultation; 
For Thou shalt judge the earth, O Lord, 
Nor suffer sin to flourish; 
Thy people’s pasture is Thy Word 
Their souls to feed and nourish, 
In righteous paths to keep them. 

3. Oh, let the people praise Thy worth, 
In all good works increasing; 
The land shall plenteous fruit bring forth, 
Thy Word is rich in blessing. 
May God the Father, God the Son, 
And God the Spirit bless us! 
Let all theworld praise Him alone, 
Let solemn awe possess us.
