John 4:47: The father's fondness for his son
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
The father's fondness for his son,
His forwardness to ask a sign.
False notions of the God unknown
Which would the' Omnipotent confine,
Jesus with kind compassion sees.
His weaknesses with meekness bears,
Relieves a sinner in distress.
And grants his most imperfect prayers.
