XI. When hungry, let thy Manna be my meat; When circled in the dark, enlighten me; When I am weary, O! be thou my Seat; And when imprisoned, do thou set me free: So filled, enlightened, after sweet repose, Enlarged from Bonds, I will thy praise disclose.
XI. When hungry, let thy Manna be my meat; When circled in the dark, enlighten me; When I am weary, O! be thou my Seat; And when imprison'd, do thou set me free: So fill'd, enlightned, after sweet repose, Enlarg'd from Bonds, I will thy praise disclose.
XII. In time of wrath, when fury waxes great, Be thou my Bulwark and securest Tower; To thy transcending Name let me retreat, And be defended by thy mighty Power. Secure me till thy Vengeance is past over, That I thy Praises may to all discover.
XIII. Let me with Patience run that blessed Race, And From my weights, which very sore have bin, Be now set free, that with a swifter pace I may the Prize of lasting Glory win. Be thou my Guide, do thou direct my Path, Lord give me Patience, & with Patience Faith.
