Pieces of Poetry I wish to refer to if I have occation:

-

He comes the Prisoners to Release [relieve]
In Satan's bondage held
The Gates of Brass before him burst
the iron fetters yeald [yield]

[from Luke 4:18]
-

Sovereign of Souls the [Thou] Prince of Peace
Oh may thy gentle reign increase
Throw wide the doors [door] each willing mind
And be his empire all mankind

[Joseph Grigg, 1765]
-

Laden with guilt + full of fears
I fly to thee my Lord
And not a glimpse of hope appears
But in thy written word

[Isaac Watts]
-

Just as I am thou wilt receive,
wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve,
Because thy promise I believe
O Lamb of God I come

[Charlotte Elliott]
-

Great God on what a slender thread
Hangs [Hang] everlasting things
The eternal state [states] of all the dead
Upon life's feeble strings.

[Isaac Watts]
