[Like him, in piety's decay]

I, even I, only am left. —xix. 10.

Like him, in piety's decay
I made my solitary moan,
Thou heard'st Thy desolate servant say,
I, even I am left alone!
But now with open heart and eyes
Thousands I in our Israel see,
Who idols hate, the world despise,
Its god renounce, and follow Thee.
