2 Corinthians 5:4: Wit countless burdens press'd
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)
Religion
Wit countless burdens press'd,
We groan for endless rest,
Long to find this mortal frame
Turn'd into an heavenly shrine,
Lighted by the glorious Lamb,
All immortal, all Divine.
