CHAPTER XI. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
1369.
[Thou who know'st a father's heart]
If a son shall ask bread of any of you, &c.
—xi. 11, 12.
Thou who know'st a father's heart,
To thy own children good,
Less benign than Him thou art,
Who fills the world with food;
Nature's love 'tis God bestows,
A drop of that unfathom'd sea;
Mercy all His works o'erflows,
And now extends to thee.
