[The' Almighty can employ His power]

Take away this cup from Me: nevertheless, &c. —xiv. 36.

The' Almighty can employ His power
To snatch us from the dreadful hour;
But oft to' exalt His name,
To raise our bliss and virtue higher,
Continues with us in the fire,
And saves us in the flame.
If God doth for a time defer
To answer his continued prayer,
Shall sinful man complain,
When Christ the Lord for ever bless'd
Repeats, and urges His request,
Yet seems to pray in vain!
