Sampson's Riddle;

Out of the strong came sweet.

Christ was the Lamb, Christ was the Lion slain,
To save our souls from everlasting pain:
From Judah's Lion all sweet pleasures flow;
No mercies but from him we have, or know.
He was a Lion mighty, strong in pow'r,
Before he could Death, Sathan, Hell devour.
