"I have not sought Thee, I have not found Thee,
I have not thirsted for Thee:
And now cold billows of d**h surround me,
Buffeting billows of d**h astound me,--
Wilt Thou look upon, wilt Thou see
Thy perishing me?"
"Yea, I have sought thee, yea, I have found thee,
Yea, I have thirsted for thee,
Yea, long ago with love's bands I bound thee:
Now the Everlasting Arms surround thee,--
Through d**h's darkness I look and see
And clasp thee to Me."
