2 Chronicles: Justly, O Lord, Thou dost require
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Justly, O Lord, Thou dost require
The industry of man.
And seeking with our whole desire
We cannot seek in vain:
Thee if we follow on to know.
We must Thy sweetness prove,
And find our paradise below
The' experience of Thy love.
