[Reluctantly they let them go]

They...let them go. —v. 40.

Reluctantly they let them go,
The men devoted unto death,
God over all appoints it so,
And plucks the prey out of their teeth;
Like them your mission to fulfil,
Servants of the Most-High go on,
Nor fear who can the body kill—
But not till all your work is done.
