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.
5 Stung Meat thou canst not yet digest, Milk's a Restorative; God's Word restores decayed Souls, Nay, makes the dead alive.
