Thus will I, Lord, thy grace employ,
My former master to destroy,
Drive on, determin’d not to spare,
And shoot, and stab, and kill, and tear,
’Till all of Ahab’s house is slain,
And not one single sin remain:
Thou, Saviour, then shalt reign alone,
And call me up to share thy throne.
Thus will I, Lord, Thy grace employ
