[Escaped from the tempestuous sea]

There came a viper out of the heat, &c. —xxviii. 3.

Escaped from the tempestuous sea
Who dared in God confide,
By dangers new his faith must be
By fresh temptations tried;
The viper fasten'd on his hand
And shook into the flame
Shall show that both by sea and land
His Saviour is the same.
