Religion
Acts 7:21: Shall I in desperate straits despair
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
Shall I in desperate straits despair,
Or doubt His providential care?
Forsook, I still retain my hope
The Lord Himself will take me up,
Adopt, and nourish for His son,
And raise the outcast to a throne.
