Religion
Matthew 9: And when He was come into the house, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
The God of love, He oft delays,
Nor grants what we require.
To exercise our patient grace,
To heighten our desire.
To draw the clamorous beggar near,
Before His feet to cast.
And prove their confidence sincere,
And give them. sight at last.
