Transcription
Some saints there are who roar and cry,
and rave and scream and bawl,
To force some Spirit housed on high
To bless them with a call;
But though they sue on bended knee
That Spirit’s deaf and dumb. –
oh Spirit if you called on me,
How very soon I’d come!
and rave and scream and bawl,
To force some Spirit housed on high
To bless them with a call;
But though they sue on bended knee
That Spirit’s deaf and dumb. –
oh Spirit if you called on me,
How very soon I’d come!
