[The' incurable disease]

Asa was diseased in his feet: yet he sought not, &c. —xvi. 12.

The' incurable disease
Which baffles human art,
The Healer of mankind can ease,
Or bid it all depart:
I hang upon Thy breath!
And let Thy will be done,
In ease and pain, in life and death,
I seek to God alone.
