David

David remember and his dire afflictions!

God will remember! Let not men forget

David the Greater, and the contradictions

Which in this world His weary way beset;

Malice unmitigated, maledictions,

Rude and unreasonable wrath, which met

Hard on His head devoted, undefended,
Not with a crumb of true compassion blended.

Never shall we, His blood-redeemed, forget Him,

Never shall ages from our hearts erase

Sacred impressions of the griefs that met Him,

Infinite wonders of His furrowed face,

Marvellous musings of what woes beset Him

Lone and abandoned in the sinner
