Religion
Ruth: A Poor afflicted sojourner
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
A Poor afflicted sojourner
I see the meaning of Thy love;
It strips me of my comforts here,
To mind me of the joys above:
I answer to the call Divine,
After my old companions come,
And for that better country pine,
And hasten to my heavenly home.
