Matthew 6:9: We must in our requests succeed
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
We must in our requests succeed,
When Jesus teaches us to plead,
We must receive our granted prayer
Who in His words our wants declare:
Himself did the petition pen,
His Spirit seconds it in men,
And still the everlasting Son
To God presents it as His own.
