Religion
Matthew 8: Was ever charity like Thine
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Was ever charity like Thine!
Lord, when it doth in me remain,
With pure benevolence Divine
I claim the whole of human pain;
Join'd to the wretched for Thy sake.
My spirit answers groan for groan,
Their griefs on me by love I take.
And pity makes them all my own.
