[With graces from above]

As one whom his mother comforteth, &c. —lxvi. 13, 14.

With graces from above
Myself will comfort you,
And fondle with a kinder love
Than mothers ever knew;
Your joyful souls shall see
Jerusalem restored,
Your bones revived and strengthen'd be
By virtue from the Lord:
He in the heathen's sight
For you His hand shall raise,
The hand of His supporting might,
Of His enriching grace;
But dreadful to His foes
He shall His strength employ,
And crush whoe'er His church oppose,
And anti-Christ destroy.
