[With the goods and ills below]
But now I go My way to Him that sent Me, &c.
—xvi. 5.
With the goods and ills below
Entirely occupied,
Nothing we desire to know,
We nothing seek beside:
Till Thou kindly dost rebuke
Our careless infidelity;
Then to things unseen we look,
And ask, O Lord, for Thee.
Entirely occupied,

Till Thou kindly dost rebuke
Our careless infidelity;
Then to things unseen we look,
And ask, O Lord, for Thee.
Present with Thy people still,
And in Thy word Thou art,
Dost Thy precious Self reveal
To every praying heart;
While we faithfully inquire,
Thou dost our doubts and griefs remove,
God that answerest by fire,
The fire of heavenly love!
