1 Pet. 2.2. As new born Babes desiring the sincere Milk of the Word, that ye may grow thereby.
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
