Psalm 30:6: In my prosperity I said

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

In my prosperity I said,
So strong in faith by Jesus made,
I never, never shall remove
Or leave the mount of perfect love.
But when Jesus hid His face.
Sunk my soul in deep distress.

I triumph'd in the grace begun,
As all the work at once were done;
My pardon seal'd, my heart is pure.
My state is fix'd, my heaven is sure!
Now implunged in misery,
Lord, again I mourn for Thee.
