[With confidence lift up thy face]

Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed, &c. —liv. 4.

With confidence lift up thy face,
Nor dread the scandal and disgrace,
At first on all thy children cast,
“Have any of the great believed?”
Yes; rulers have thy law received,
And kings themselves submit—the last.

441

No more shalt thou upbraided be,
With fewness or with poverty,
Or sad thy widow'd state deplore;
Self-will and pride, thy nature's shame,
Are swallow'd up in Jesu's name,
And sin's confusion is no more.
