[Who can a pastor's heart express]

Receive him, that is, mine own bowels. —12.

Who can a pastor's heart express,
The' unutterable tenderness,
Beyond what fondest mothers prove,
The yearning pangs of softest love?
He only comprehends, who knows
Whence every grace and blessing flows,
Who feels, but never can explain,
The bowels of the Son of man.
