[The world, O Lord, will not receive]

Thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt, &c. —vii. 2.

The world, O Lord, will not receive
Thy word to sinners given;
They see Thy church in plenty live,
And fed with bread from heaven:
Yet though Thou dost Thy blessings pour,
Incessant from the sky,
They never taste the gracious shower,
But unbelievers die.
