HYMN 82.
[Art thou a Babe, tho' newly born?]
1 Pet. 2. 2. As new born Babes desiring the sincere Milk of the Word, that ye may grow thereby.
[The First Part.]
Art thou a Babe, tho' newly born?
What is thy Soul's desire?
Dost hunger for Milk of God's Word,
And raise thy cry yet higher?
What is thy Soul's desire?
Dost hunger for Milk of God's Word,
And raise thy cry yet higher?
As pretty Babes who want the Breast,
How do they cry amain!
Ah! can thy Soul find no small rest
Till thou dost Milk obtain:
How do they cry amain!
Ah! can thy Soul find no small rest
Till thou dost Milk obtain:
Then know it is a sure sign
Thou hast a heavenly heart,
And God to feed that Soul of thine
Will his sweet Word impart
Thou hast a heavenly heart,
And God to feed that Soul of thine
Will his sweet Word impart
To thee, that thou mayst grow thereby,
O it is very good;
Milk nourishes and feeds the Child
Better than other Food.
O it is very good;
Milk nourishes and feeds the Child
Better than other Food.
Stong Meat thou canst not yet digest,
Milk's a Restorative;
God's Word restores decayed Souls,
Nay, makes the dead alive.
Milk's a Restorative;
God's Word restores decayed Souls,
Nay, makes the dead alive.
198
Milk was a blessing choice of old,
And with it Canaan flow'd;
Hast thou God's Word? What Blessing then
Better can be bestow'd
And with it Canaan flow'd;
Hast thou God's Word? What Blessing then
Better can be bestow'd
On thee, poor Soul, O prize it much,
And on it always feed,
Twill strengthen thee, and make thee fat,
And nothing shalt thou need.
And on it always feed,
Twill strengthen thee, and make thee fat,
And nothing shalt thou need.
The Second Part.
Ye who are Lovers of sweet Milk,
Will, will you now make haste?
O come and buy! this doth excell!
We pray you Friends to taste.
Will, will you now make haste?
O come and buy! this doth excell!
We pray you Friends to taste.
If you were once born from above,
Though but young Babes you were,
You with this Milk would fall in love,
And say it tasteth rare.
Though but young Babes you were,
You with this Milk would fall in love,
And say it tasteth rare.
But whilest your evil nature is
Corrupted thus with sin,
And glutted are continually
With filthy trash within,
Corrupted thus with sin,
And glutted are continually
With filthy trash within,
You cannot relish this sweet Food,
Your Mouths are out of taste,
And therefore you don't find it good,
But want it will at last:
Your Mouths are out of taste,
And therefore you don't find it good,
But want it will at last:
199
But you who are God's little ones,
What cause have you to sing,
That you have plenty still of Milk,
And every other thing.
What cause have you to sing,
That you have plenty still of Milk,
And every other thing.
O live to God, and sing again
His blessed Praises forth,
Who feeds, and doth replenish you,
And strengthens all your Faith.
His blessed Praises forth,
Who feeds, and doth replenish you,
And strengthens all your Faith.
