2 Samuel 12:22: While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
For a departing friend I grieve.
Or pray, my stricken child may live;
But when Thy mind is known,
I yield, I patiently submit,
And cry, adoring at Thy feet.
Father, Thy will be done!
