VI The Recovery.
Sin! wilt Thou vanquish me!
And shall I yeeld the Victory?
Shall all my Joys be Spoild,
And Pleasures Soild
By Thee!
And shall I yeeld the Victory?
Shall all my Joys be Spoild,
And Pleasures Soild
By Thee!
Shall I remain
As one that's Slain
And never more lift up the Head?
Is not my Savior Dead!
His Blood, thy Bane; my Balsam, Bliss, Joy, Wine;
Shall Thee Destroy; Heal, Feed, make me Divine.
