Genesis 18:19: Fain would I, Lord, my household lead
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Fain would I, Lord, my household lead
In all the paths of righteousness.
And train them up, an holy seed.
To serve Thy will, and spread Thy praise:
Implant in me the patriarch's mind,
My sacred cares and toils approve,
And bless the church I leave behind,
The children of my faith and love.
