Religion
Luke 19: Before He saw him in the tree
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Before He saw him in the tree
Jesus the curious gazer view'd,
Gave him that heart sincerity.
That passion for a glimpse of God;
And while he after Christ aspires.
The Saviour crowns His own desires.
