For Widows
From Hymns of Intercession for All Mankind (1758) · Osborn ed., vol. 6 (1870)
History & Politics
The widows desolate, distress'd,
Into Thine arms of mercy take,
And tell them leaning on Thy breast,
Thou never wilt the soul forsake
Whose humble faith in Thee receives
An Husband that for ever lives.
