48a. Thine Eyes in me, nor lofty Mind

1 Thine Eyes in me, nor lofty Mind,
Nor haughty Look, my God shall find;
Nor Earth's vain Pomp attracts my View;
Nor Honor's Prize my Thoughts pursue.

2 Behold me of Affections mild;
Behold me humble as a Child,
That meek and silent sinks to Rest
Wean'd from the tender Parent's Breast.

3 O, fonder than that Parent, see
Thy Maker, Christian, cherish thee:
To latest Times on Him depend,
Thy Guide, thy Guardian, and thy Friend!
