Of Death.
1 Cor. ch. 15. v. 55, 56.
O, Death, where is thy sting?
The sting of death is sin.
The sting of death is sin.
O Death, forbear, I yet must live:
Stay, Death, till God your Warrant give,
And then where you see best, this heart
Most willing is to feel your Dart.
But, Lord, O let thy servants breath
Preserv'd be from the sting of Death.
