Verse 1
With confidence lift up thy face,
Nor dread the scandal and disgrace,
At first on all thy children cast,
“Have any of the great believ’d?”
Yes; rulers have thy law receiv’d,
And kings themselves submit—the last.
Verse 2
No more shalt thou upbraided be,
With fewness or with poverty,
Or sad thy widow’d state deplore;
Self-will and pride, thy nature’s shame,
Are swallow’d up in Jesu’s name,
And sin’s confusion is no more.
