Religion
2 Kings 7:2: Thou shall see it with thine eyes, but shall, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
The world, O Lord, will not receive
Thy word to sinners given;
They see Thy church in plenty live,
And fed with bread from heaven:
Yet though Thou dost Thy blessings pour.
Incessant from the sky.
They never taste the gracious shower,
But unbelievers die.
