Seem to read the word in vain,
And since, by pas­sion’s force sub­dued,
Alas, un­wor­thy of Your bound­less love,
And spread pure joys around.
Nor sit the last and low­est at Thy board;
Thy love has said, I can.

Too oft

When true wis­dom I might gain,
We blind­ly shun the la­tent good,
But now, en­cour­aged by Your voice, we come,
With ev­ils, and is still!
I on­ly ask one re­con­cil­ing word.
And would not pas­sive lie,
