[Shut up in unbelief I groan]

He shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening. —xii. 14.

Shut up in unbelief I groan,
Fast bound in misery:
What miracle of power unknown
Can set the captive free?
He only can release and save,
(Throughout my soul I feel,)
Who forced the barriers of the grave,
And burst the gates of hell.
