WHY should the children of a king Go mourning all their days? Great Comforter, descend, and bring The tokens of thy grace!

Dost thou not dwell in all thy saints, And seal the heirs of heaven? When wilt thou banish my complaints, And show my sins forgiven?

Assure my conscience of its part In the Redeemer's blood; And bear thy witness with my heart, That I am born of God.
