John 9:4: Long as my day of life remains
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Long as my day of life remains,
My business is to work for God,
To' employ my utmost strength and pains
For Him who bought me with His blood
No respite from the toils of love
I ask, till life's short season end:
Suffice for me to rest above,
To rest with my eternal Friend.
