He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in Trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him;

With long Life will I fatisfy him, and shew him my Salvation."

HEZEKIAH'S SICKNESS.

When Ifrael's Prophet did proclaim
Death's Sentence writ against my
Name,

I turn'd to GOD upon my Bed,
And weeping, unto Him I faid,

O LORD, I ftand upon the Brink
Of a dark Gulf from which I
Shrink,

Ere mine expected Term is done,
Thou telleft me my Race is run.

Helpless

Helpless and weak, with Watching

pale,

Mine Eyes, with looking upward, fail,

Much needing Help, no Help I fee; O Father! undertake for me!

Thou haft Thyself pronounced my

Doom,

And of Thee only can it come;

None

may arreft the fad Decree, But its Reverfal refts with Thee.

Can it bring Pleafure to thine Eyes To fee me languish on this wife, Weary at Even, Spent at Night, And fit to die at Morning Light?

Ab

Ab no! each Pain, well understood, Intended is but for my Good,

Thou haft redeemed my Soul in Love,

And Thou my Sorrows wilt remove.
