Hymns for the Use of Families, 52
From Hymns for the Use of Families, and on Various Occasions (1767) · Osborn ed., vol. 7 (1870)
Jesus, Thou Son of Mary,
Thou Son of the Most-High,
Lo, at Thy feet I tarry,
And on Thy truth rely;
In awful expectation
Of my distressing hour,
I look for Thy salvation,
For all Thy mercy's power.
On Thee my Health in sickness
My feeble soul is stay'd,
Thy strength in human weakness
Is perfectly display'd:
Thou never Avilt forsake me
Who on Thy love depend,
But to Thy bosom take me
Till pain with life shall end.
