Religion
Luke 11:11, 12: Thou who know'st a father's heart
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Thou who know'st a father's heart,
To thy own children good,
Less benign than Him thou art.
Who fills the world with food;
Nature's love 'tis God bestows,
A drop of that unfathom'd sea;
Mercy all His works o'ei flows.
And now extends to thee.
