[Jesus at last arise]

The nation to whom they shall be in bondage, &c. —vii. 7.

Jesus at last arise
To' avenge me of my foe,

203

Thy justice exercise,
Thy righteous anger show;
These sins that hold my soul in thrall,
These tyrant sins, destroy them all.
With patience I attend
For that redeeming word,
Which makes my troubles end,
Which bids me serve my Lord,
And brings me forth with joy and peace
Into the land of righteousness.
