[A token he for good receives]

When he heard of Jesus, he sent unto Him, &c. —vii. 3.

A token he for good receives
Who nothing hopes for his own sake,
Yet humbly confident believes
Christ will on him compassion take:
Who asks the faithful people's prayers,
By living saints to Christ applies,
Would pray himself, but scarcely dares
Approach, or lift to heaven his eyes.
