THE PRAYER OF FAITH.
Who would the image of his lord retrieve,Partake His nature, and His mind receive,
Must ask in faith, not doubting or afraid
To plead the promise that Himself hath made:
Yet patient wait, till grace his will subdue,
The fire his dross, the spirit his heart renew:
61
He fits the cross, as that now fitteth him;
Where, stretch'd at length, he shall a conqueror die,
Entomb with Him, and then remount the sky!
