SACRED AMBITION.
Reading edition
Hast thou indeed Sacred ambition, In word and deed Based on contrition? Pray low and long, Sowing and weeping; Promises strong Pledge thee thy reaping.
Thus hast thou prayed? Wait then contented; Blessings delayed Are blessings augmented. Every thing proves Holy ambition Is what God loves Next to contrition.
