EJACULATORY SONNET, by                     Poet's Biography

Alternate Author Name(s): Old Simon; S.
Subject(s): Accidents; Horseback Riding


THY judgements God, are holy, right, and just,
Tho' evils press, and tho' we sink to dust;
Tho' darkness shroud thy throne, and clouds thy face,
I cleave to thee and hope thy pardoning grace.

Firm is thy truth, thy promise ever sure,
And Jesus' blood my safety will procure;
Thy mercy beams with full resplendent ray,
And opes the portals of eternal day.

Before thy throne I bow beneath thy rod,
And own the arm and angry frown of God;
Thy hand I feel nor dare thy dreadful power,
Support me, God, in this tremendous hour.

What e'er my doom, what e'er my state shall be,
O grant me still to put my trust in thee.
