Religion
Luke 2:28: When in his arms he held
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
When in his arms he held,
And to his bosom press'd.
He found Him to his heart reveal'd,
And God for Jesus bless'd;
The power and life of God
He felt with Jesus given;
And when his hoary head he bow'd,
He carried Christ to heaven.
