[Happy the self-mistrusting man]
He answered and said, Who is He, Lord, that, &c.
—ix. 36.
Happy the self-mistrusting man
Who for Thyself of Thee inquires,
Thou wilt not let him ask in vain,
But grant in his Thine own desires:
For faith Divine the sinner's heart
Is open'd by docility,
But Thou of both the Giver art,
And all our good proceeds from Thee.

But grant in his Thine own desires:
For faith Divine the sinner's heart
Is open'd by docility,
But Thou of both the Giver art,
And all our good proceeds from Thee.
The man whom God to this hath wrought,
Instruction readily receives,
And found by Him who came unsought,
He first inquires, and then believes.
Enlighten'd by his Saviour's grace,
Convinced of His converting power,
His soul shall soon with joy embrace,
And Christ in spirit and truth adore.
