[Confined in a dungeon of clay]

When shall I come to appear before, &c. —xlii. 2.

Confined in a dungeon of clay,
Exiled from the Saviour I love,
I long to be summon'd away,
I groan for a speedy remove:

299

O when shall I come to appear
With joy in the presence Divine,
To find Him essentially near,
To know Him eternally mine!
