[The rest we in the desert seek]

The rest we in the desert seek
We must for hopeless souls forego,
Go forth to tend the poor and weak,
And melt distress'd at human woe:
Our Master served the' afflicted crowd,
And bids us His example trace
In labouring for the people's good,
In ministering the gospel grace.
