128:They all were looking for a king
| Tunes: | Childhood, 421 |
| Meter: | 8.8.8.6. |
THEY all were looking for a king
To slay their foes and lift them high;
Thou cam?st a little baby thing
That made a woman cry.
2 O Son of Man, to right my lot
Naught but thy presence can avail;
Yet on the road thy wheels are not,
Nor on the sea thy sail.
3 My fancied ways why should?st thou heed?
Thou com?st down thine own secret stair;
Com?st down to answer all my need,
Yea, every bygone prayer.
To slay their foes and lift them high;
Thou cam?st a little baby thing
That made a woman cry.
2 O Son of Man, to right my lot
Naught but thy presence can avail;
Yet on the road thy wheels are not,
Nor on the sea thy sail.
3 My fancied ways why should?st thou heed?
Thou com?st down thine own secret stair;
Com?st down to answer all my need,
Yea, every bygone prayer.
George
