| |
CHRIST has many things to say | |
| To souls that can his message bear: | |
| But he throws not pearls away, | |
| Where he finds no listening ear. | |
| |
| As the soul can more receive, | 5 |
| Still the more does he bestow: | |
| As our faith doth more believe, | |
| Still his revelations grow. | |
| |
| All the thirsting soul doth seek, | |
| All the waken’d thought can hold, | 10 |
| That doth Jesus freely speak, | |
| That to listening hearts unfold. | |
| |
| Thus the light to Christians given, | |
| Measured by their power must be | |
| To receive this gift of heaven; | 15 |
| By each one’s capacity. | |
| |
| The Master to his saints will speak | |
| All their souls as yet can bear: | |
| Wanting more themselves must make | |
| Worthy, able more to hear. | 20 | | | |
