Matthew 19:1: Our Pattern if we rightly know

Our Pattern if we rightly know,
In seeking souls we cannot rest,
Like Him, whose whole delight below
Was, calling sinners to His breast;
Scatter'd throughout the desert wide
In quest of wandering souls we run,
Our thirst is never sati.sfied,
Our work of love is never done.

Employment for our active zeal
AVe gladly find in every place,
Our meat to do the Saviour's will.
And please by ministering His grace:
The end of one accepted deed
Beginning to another gives;
And thus in all His steps we tread,
Till Christ our spotless souls receives.
