[Such was our ignorant desire]
Ye know not what ye ask.
—xx. 22.
Such was our ignorant desire,
Our zeal above the rest to' aspire,
While babes, the father's joy to prove!
Ambitious at Thy side to reign,
The rest without the toil to gain,
We ask'd the crown of perfect love:
Our zeal above the rest to' aspire,
While babes, the father's joy to prove!
Ambitious at Thy side to reign,
The rest without the toil to gain,
We ask'd the crown of perfect love:
Blindly we ask'd for pain and loss,
A deeper cup, an heavier cross;
And still we all Thy grace implore:
But humbly waiting to receive,
Manner and time to Thee we leave,
Thy will be done, we ask no more.
A deeper cup, an heavier cross;
And still we all Thy grace implore:

Manner and time to Thee we leave,
Thy will be done, we ask no more.
