Luke 7:3: A Token he for good receives
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
A Token he for good receives
Who nothing hopes for his own sake,
Yet humbly confident believes
Christ will on him compassion take:
Who asks the faithiul people's prayers.
By living saints to Christ applies,
Would pray himself, but scarcely dares
Approach, or lift to heaven his eyes.
