1 Samuel 7:2: Touch'd from above with sacred woe
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Touch'd from above with sacred woe
O that we might incessant mourn,
After the Lord lamenting go.
Till Jesus, the true Ark, return!
The contrite heart, the grief sincere,
Jesus, to all our Israel give.
And then display Thy presence here.
And in Thy saints for ever live.
