Be with these anxious Thoughts opprest,
And Satan, my malicious Foe,
Rejoice to see me sunk so low?

I sleep in everlasting Night.

If but one praying Soul be lost?
But I have trusted in thy Grace,
And shall again behold thy Face.

My God, how long delay?
When shall I feel those heavenly rays
That chase my fears away?
2 How long shall my poor labouring soul
Wrestle and toil in vain?
Thy word can all my foes controul,
And ease my raging pain.

All his malicious arts;
He spreads a mist around my eyes,
And throws his fiery darts.

My soul in safety keep;
Make haste before mine eyes are seal'd
In death's eternal sleep.

Should I become his prey!
Behold the sons of hell grow proud
To see thy long delay.

And hears thy voice with dread.
7 Thou wilt display that sovereign grace,
Whence all my comforts spring;
I shall employ my lips in praise,
And thy salvation sing.
