[While wandering in the wilderness]
He requested for himself that he might die.
—xix. 4.
While wandering in the wilderness,
Such was my clamour to expire,
Not the deliberate wish of grace,
But nature's passionate desire:

And strengthen'd by Thy Spirit's supply,
Patient, at Thy command, I live,
Joyful, at Thy permission, die.
