[Father, Thou dost our Prophet hear]

As Samuel was offering up the burnt-offering, &c. —vii. 10.

Father, Thou dost our Prophet hear,
While now the Philistines draw near;
The offering, which for us He pleads,
Brings down Thy blessing on our heads,
Brings down Thy thunder on our foes,
And all the hellish host o'erthrows.
