Religion
Job 1:21: The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
I Cannot lose what is not mine,
I may to God restore His loan;
And cheerfully I would resign,
When justly He revokes His own:
Ah, give me, Lord, with all to part;
And when Thou dost my soul require,
To bless Thee for a broken heart.
And calmly in Thine arms expire.
