[We in our celestial Friend]
Which of you shall have a friend, &c.
—xi. 5.
We in our celestial Friend
To a kind Father pray,
Need not urge our God to lend
Who gives without delay;
Presses us to ask for grace,
Solicits beggars to receive
All at every time and place
Which Love Divine can give.

All at every time and place
Which Love Divine can give.
Bold we then to Thee apply
In this accepted hour;
Father, hear Thy Spirit's cry,
And all Thy blessings pour;
Truth we want our minds to feed,
Our hearts require Thy love alone;
Fulness of immortal bread
Vouchsafe us in Thy Son.
