HYMN 12.
The Patience of God.
1 What Wrongs, great God, hast thou long born? (conceived they cannot be!) By daring Rebels, who provoke Thee unto Jealousy! 2 All Evils done in every place, before thine Eyes they are Throughout the World; And yet dost thou these Foes protect, and spare.
1 WHat Wrongs, great God, hast thou long born? (conceiv'd they cannot be!) By daring Rebels, who provoke Thee unto Jealousie! 2 All Evils done in every place, before thine Eyes they are Throughout the World; And yet dostthou these Foes protect, and spare.
3 Tho' for Man's Treason down he fell, by thy revenging Hand; ⟨p. 17⟩Yet he lifts up his bruised Bones his Maker to withstand; 4 And, though a feeble Foe he be, whom thou like Moths can crush, Yet still against the Bosses of thy Buckler he does rush.
