9,9,4,10 Solche Leute will der König küssen [321]Nicolaus von Zinzendorf trans. by Catherine Winkworth, 1869 Such the King will stoop to and embrace, Who when they no hope or path can trace, Sink at His feet, And grace and guidance from His hand entreat. Such the King with blessing will secure, Who when they behold one scorned and poor, Who is Christ's own, Revere him more than princes on a throne. Such the King will evermore defend, Who accept the burden He doth send, And calmly sit, Trusting to Him to raise it when 'tis fit. Such the King will ever deign to teach, Who can profit e'en by children's speech, And gladly know That they are only learners here below. Footnotes: [36] Many of these hymns speak of the blood and wounds of Jesus, or making a bed in His wounded side, &c. in a way of which it is really impossible to give instances. |
