First Line: Lord, I am like to mistletoe
Last Line: Tumble shall heav'n, and down will I.
Subject(s): God; Religion; Theology


Lord, I am like to Misletoe,
Which has no root, and cannot grow,
Or prosper, but by that same tree
It clings about; so I by Thee.
What need I then to feare at all,
So long as I about Thee craule?
But if that Tree sho'd fall, and die,
Tumble shall heav'n, and down will I.
