John 16:5: With the goods and ills below

With the goods and ills below
Entirely occupied,
Nothing we desire to know,
We nothing seek beside:
Till Thou kindly dost rebuke
Our careless infidelity;
Then to things unseen we look,
And ask, O Lord, for Thee.

Present with Thy people still,
And in Thy word Thou art,
Dost Thy precious Self reveal
To every praying heart;
While we faithfully inquire,
Thou dost our doubts and griefs remove
God that answerest by fire,,
The fire of heavenly love!
