"WHEN MY HEART IS VEXED,"
Myself, arch-traitor to myself;
My hollo west friend, my deadliest foe,
My clog whatever road I go.
My hollo west friend, my deadliest foe,
My clog whatever road I go.
Yet One there is can curb myself.
Can roll the strangling load from me,
Break off the yoke and set me free.
Can roll the strangling load from me,
Break off the yoke and set me free.
"WHEN MY HEART IS VEXED, I WILL COMPLAIN."
"O LORD, how canst Thou say Thou lovest me?
Me whom thou settest in a barren land,
Hungry and thirsty on the burning sand,
Hungry and thirsty where no waters be
Nor shadows of date-bearing tree:—
O Lord, how canst Thou say Thou lovest me?"
Me whom thou settest in a barren land,
Hungry and thirsty on the burning sand,
Hungry and thirsty where no waters be
Nor shadows of date-bearing tree:—
O Lord, how canst Thou say Thou lovest me?"
"I came from Edom by as parched a track,
As rough a track beneath My bleeding feet.
I came from Edom seeking thee, and sweet
I counted bitterness; I turned not back
But counted life as death, and trod
The winepress all alone: and I am God."
As rough a track beneath My bleeding feet.
I came from Edom seeking thee, and sweet
I counted bitterness; I turned not back
But counted life as death, and trod
The winepress all alone: and I am God."
