Esther 4:16: If I perish, I perish
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Though I am condemn'd to die,
Shall I not for mercy try?
If the fix'd decree is pass'd,
I can only die at last:
Prostrate now before my Lord,
Let me wait the fatal word,
Let me here my sentence meet,
Perish at His bleeding feet.
