William Cowper

“ The saints should never be dismayed, Nor sink in hopeless fear; For when they least expect his aid, The Savior will appear.
This Abraham found, he raised the knife, GOD saw, and said, "Forbear;" Yon ram shall yield his meaner life, Behold the victim there.
Once David seemed Saul's certain prey, But hark! the foe's at hand; Saul turns his arms another way, To save th' invaded land. ”
