Tbid. xvi. 20. The Lord Jehovah departed from him.

The Spirit of Jehovah came,
And brought the mighty man his might:
But when consenting to his shame,
He did to the good Spirit despite,
Jehovah did from him depart,
And left a weak divided heart.

Spirit of God, Jehovah come,
And rest with all Thy power on me,
Enter and keep Thy constant home,
Spirit of love and purity,
So shall I worthily adore,
And force Thee to depart no more.
