Religion
Waiting for Christ the Prophet: The same
From Hymns and Sacred Poems (1742) · Osborn ed., vol. 2 (1869)
Religion
Christ, my hidden life, appear,
Soul of my inmost soul;
Light of life, the mourner cheer,
And make the sinner whole.
Now in me Thyself display,
Surely Thou in all things art;
I from all things turn away,
To seek Thee in my heart.
