Bless�d is the man, whose confidence
Is fixed on God, his strong defence;
Midst dangers he shall dwell secure,
And view eternal blessings sure.
Though pestilential vapours spread
Their baleful influence o�er his head,
Though noxious fumes infect the air,
Fearless he breathes, and safely there.
Though the thick arrows round him fly,
And thousands sicken, thousands die;
Unawed he hears expiring groans,
And God�s preserving goodness owns.
Or if commissioned, the disease,
Among the rest, the Christian seize;
E�en then his trembling lips rejoice,
And death but elevates his voice.
