Religion
1 Samuel 2:6: Who first inspired the breath of lives
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Who first inspired the breath of lives,
The living kills, the dead revives,
Brings to the margin of the grave.
And shows us there His power to save:
From hence if Thou my body raise,
I '11 publish my Restorer's praise,
My life at Thy dear hands receive,
And only for Thy glory live.
