[Through many a night of distress]

With my soul have I desired Thee in the night. —xxvi. 9.

Through many a night of distress
My soul has its Saviour pursued,

391

And pined for a taste of His grace,
And long'd for a drop of His blood;
And still heavy-laden and faint
I look for my Lord from above,
To bring me the comfort I want,
The rest of assurance and love.
