My Resolution.
Job I. 21. Naked came I out of my Mothers womb, and Naked shall I
return thither: The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; Blessed
be the Name of the Lord.
I Strip't of Earthly Comforts am:
Strip't let me duely Mourn:
Naked from Earth at first I came;
And Naked I return.
Strip't let me duely Mourn:
Naked from Earth at first I came;
And Naked I return.
What, but Gifts from Above were they?
GOD gave them unto me.
And now they Take their Flight away,
Taken by GOD they be.
GOD gave them unto me.
And now they Take their Flight away,
Taken by GOD they be.
The Name of my great GOD, I will
For ever then Adore:
HEE'S Wise, and Just, and Sov'raign still,
And Good for ever more.
For ever then Adore:
HEE'S Wise, and Just, and Sov'raign still,
And Good for ever more.
