Mark 3:10: See the patience of our God

Religion

See the patience of our God,
Jesus' love with wonder see!
Gracious He received the crowd.
Bare their importunity:
Who to Him for help applied
None unsuccour'd He repell'd!
Kind relief to none denied.
Spake their every sickness heal'd.

Surely then if sick and poor
Sinners oftheir hearts complain,
Jesus will their spirits cure,
Give them back their health again:
When we will not let Him rest.
He our holy violence loves,
Urged and importuned and press'd,
All our sins and griefs removes.
