Religion
Psalm: When I awake up after Thy likeness, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Unlike my God I cannot rest,
For sin is perfect misery:
But stamp Thine image on my breast.
Conform my hallow'd soul to Thee:
Partaker of Thine utmost grace
My soul would then be satisfied,
As Moses, when he saw Thy face,
And sunk into Thine arms, and died.
