Religion
1 Kings 17:21: Tis thus the Lord my God descends
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Tis thus the Lord my God descends
To raise a sinner from the dead.
His goodness over me extends.
And covers with His Spirit's shade.
Himself amazing grace!) applies,
Lispires me with celestial powers.
And bids my quicken'd spirit rise.
And to my Father's arms restores.
