1 Samuel: O Take this plague away
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
O Take this plague away!
Afflicted by my God,
In bitterness of soul I pray,
O lay aside the rod!
Or if Thou still reprove,
Let my extreme distress
Bring forth at last the fruit of love,
And perfect righteousness.
