And shall I sit alone,
Oppressed with grief and fear;

To God my Father make my moan,

And he refuse to hear?

If he my Father be,

His pity he will show;

From cruel bondage set me free,

And inward peace bestow.

If still be silence keep,

‘Tis but my faith to try;

He knows and feels whene’er I weep,

And softens every sigh.

Benjamin Beddome 1717 - 1795 ( 77 Years )
