Death & Dying
Numbers 23:10: Let me die the death of the righteous!
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Death & Dying
Did God reject the pious prayer,
To' avenge his former wickedness?
His body might the judgment bear,
His soul depart in perfect peace,
A sinner slain, yet justified;
For thus the good Josiah died!
