[Slight who ever bid you quit]
If they shall say unto you, Behold, He is in, &c.
—xxiv. 26.
Slight who ever bid you quit
The work by God assign'd;
Christ thereby you cannot meet,
Or in the desert find:
Prophets false believe them not;
To gain your Lord ye need not dwell
In the lonely hermit's grot
Or close monastic cell.

In the lonely hermit's grot
Or close monastic cell.
Must you wander far and near
To see the lightning shine?
Anxious there inquire, and here,
To know that Christ is thine?
Christ descending from above
Shall find thee out where'er thou art;
Comes the kingdom of His love
To every waiting heart.
