Mark 14: The' Almighty can employ His power

The' Almighty can employ His power
To snatch us from the dreadful hour;
But oft to' exalt His name.
To raise our bliss and virtue higher,
Continues with us in the fire.
And saves us in the flame.

If God doth for a time defer
To answer his continued prayer,
Shall sinful man complain,
When Christ the Lord for ever bless'd
Repeats, and urges His request.
Yet seems to pray in vain!
