[I want that unreflecting love]

When saw we Thee an hungred? —xxv. 37.

I want that unreflecting love
Which simply Thy command obeys,
(Content, if Thou at last approve,)
Nor fondly on the action stays:
Still would I my own good forget,
Which is not, gracious Lord, my own,
Till Thou Thy servant's works repeat,
And praise me for what grace had done.
