By A Collection of Hymns

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

      2 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?

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