John 7: Who their own desires pursue

Who their own desires pursue
Their want of faith declare,
Their own violent will to do,
They always ready are;
God's appointed time outrun.
And full of selfish forwardness
Boldly snatch the gift unknown.
The' anticipated grace.

Now, just now, is nature's word
Impatient of delay!
Guided by Thy will, O Lord,
I for Thy leisure stay,
Dare not set a time to Thee,
Or dictate when Thyself to show:
Give whate'er Thou wilt to me.
And as Thou wilt bestow.
