Luke 10:37: In every child of misery
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
In every child of misery,
Jesus I would my neighbour see
With pity from above;
Endear'd by grace and nature's ties.
Would see the sinner with Thine eyes.
And in Thy bowels love.
Mercy constrains me to relieve
Who needs, and will my help receive.
By more than blood allied.
Stranger, ox foe, he claims my aid,
A soul whom my Creator made,
For whom my Saviour died.
