[Stopp'd by my persevering prayer]

Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, &c. —xx. 32.

Stopp'd by my persevering prayer
Stand still, and call my soul to Thee,
Attend, while I my wants declare
My want of eyes Thy love to see:
My blindness seeks to David's Lord,
My poverty Thy help requires,
And O before I speak the word,
Thou know'st the thing my heart desires.
