1 Samuel 22: In want and murmuring distress

In want and murmuring distress,
In debt to sovereign righteousness,
A wretched, desperate outcast, 1
To David for protection fly.

Jesus, the Antitype Thou art,
J 'he David after God's own heart,
Commander of the helpless band,
Enlist me under Thy command.

Assure me, Thou my debt hast paid,
Hast for my sins atonement made.
And on Thyself my burden take.
And save me for Thy mercy's sake.

Captain of my salvation, show
Thy strength against my threefold foe,
And, sure of final victory.
In life and death, I follow Thee.
