Luke 4:42: He departed and went into a desert place

He that doth his Pattern eye,
When his public work is done,
Let him from the people fly.
Seek the face of God alone,_
To the wilderness repair,
Pour out all his soul in prayer.

Listening at the Master's feet,
Fresh instructions he receives.
Till required the flock to meet,
Loath the secret place he leaves.
Torn as with reluctant pain,
Forced into the world again.
