HYMN 416. Release from Afflictions. (4. PART.)


Psalm 66.11.

LORD thou hast brought us oftentimes
into a tangling strait:
And laid afflictions on our loins,
with an oppressing weight.
[verse 12] Over our head fierce men did ride,
by thee on purpose sent,
And we distrest on every side,
through fire and water went.
But when we were thus under-trod,
and hopeless seem'd our case:
Even then thou brought'st us out, O God,
into a wealthy place:
[verse 13] Therefore will I come to thy house
burnt offerings to bestow:
And I will pay thee all the vows
which my engagements owe.
