Job 1:21: Naked into the world I came
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Naked into the world I came.
Naked I out of it shall go,
And soon this perishable frame
With mother earth shall rest below:
But O! my soul, if born again,
With glory clothed upon shall rise,
A place among the saints obtain,
And find its Father in the skies.
Esther vii. lo — Job in. i.
