Matthew 14:23: Sequester'd from the noisy crowd
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Sequester'd from the noisy crowd,
Fain would I pray apart,
Confess my sins and wants to God,
And pour out all my heart:
Now let me leave the world beneath,
Now to the mount repair.
Sink at the Saviour's feet, and breathe
My latest breath in prayer.
