2 The feeble and desponding Soul That's like a bruised Reed, Thou wilt▪ Lord, take pity upon, And soon supply his need.
3 Although' he's like to smoking Flax, Where little fire is seen; Yet he shall see that work go on Which shall destroy his sin.
3 Altho' he's like to smoaking Flax, Where little fire is seen; Yet he shall see that work go on Which shall destroy his sin.
4 Grace at the first seems to be small, Which makes the Soul to doubt, That in him there is none at all, Yet thou wilt bring him out
5 Of all his fears, and he shall have A glorious victory, And triumph shall in Songs of Praise To all eternity.
