The Pilgrim’s Home, the ſick Man’s Health, |
The pilgrim’s home, the sick man’s health, |
The Captive’s Ranſom, poor Man’s Wealth, |
The captive’s ransom, poor man’s wealth, |
From thee I wou’d receive. |
From thee I would receive. |
Theſe and a thouſand Treaſures more, |
These and a thousand treasures more, |
That gentle Death has now in ſtore, |
That gentle death has now in store, |
Thy Hand and Sword can give. |
Thy hand and sword can give. |
