1 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?
1 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?
2 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:
3 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
4 To thee, that thou mayst grow thereby, O it is very good; Milk nourishes and feeds the Child Better than other Food.
