34. Doe this and live.

Doe this and live? Tis true, Great God; then who
Can hope for life? for who hath power to Doe?
Art thou not able? Is thy Task too great?
Canst thou desier help? Canst thou intreat
Aid from a stronger Arm? Canst thou conceive
Thy Helper strong enough? Canst thou beleeve,
The suffrings of thy dying Lord can give
Thy drooping shoulders rest? Doe this and live.
