WILLIAM HEATHCOTE DELANCEY, D. D. LL. D.,

O every where we find our suffering GOD,

And where he trod

May set our steps: the Cross on Calvary
Uplifted high

Beams on the martyr host; a beacon light
In open fight.

To the still wrestlings of the lonely heart
He doth impart

The virtue of his midnight agony,

When none was nigh,

Save God and one good angel, to assuage
The tempest's rage.

Mortal! if life smiles on thee, and thou find
All to thy mind,

Think, who did once from Heaven to Hell descend
Thee to befriend:

So shalt thou dare forego, at His dear call,

Thy best, thine all.
