New-born
babes their milk desire,
To
feed, and grow, and thrive;
So
saints the Gospel shall require,
And
by the Gospel live.
With
great delight their heart approves
All
that the Word relates;
They
love the men their Father loves,
And
hate the works he hates.
And
hate the works he hates.
The
Gospel’s uncorrupting seed,
Abides
and reigns within;
The
wondrous work of Christ has freed
The
sons of God from Sin.
So
now our satisfaction
Is
found within His will
Jars
of clay are spurred to action
And
by glory we are filled
By
glory we are filled!
Not
all the traps that tempters lay
Shall
bind our souls to sin
Faith,
like a conqueror, will that day
A
thousand victories win!
We find access at every hour
To
God within the veil;
Hence
they derive a quick'ning power,
And
joys that never fail.
And
joys that never fail.

Foster
