Death & Dying
Judges 16:20: Weaken'd by my bosom-sin
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Death & Dying
Weaken'd by my bosom-sin,
Have not I like Samson been.
Went a while securely on.
Wist not that the Lord was gone,
Sport of the Philistines made,
Groan'd my soul itself to feel
Left by heaven, and seized by hell!
