[Shall I in desperate straits despair]

When he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter, &c. —vii. 21.

Shall I in desperate straits despair,
Or doubt His providential care?
Forsook, I still retain my hope
The Lord Himself will take me up,
Adopt, and nourish for His son,
And raise the outcast to a throne.
