"Bless God, who did not give our Soul / To their sharp Teeth a Prey."
Metaphor in Context
Bless God, who did not give our Soul
To their sharp Teeth a Prey.
Our Soul, as from a broken Snare
A Bird escapes, is fled;
Our Help is from th' Almighty's Care,
Who Earth and Heav'n has spread.
To their sharp Teeth a Prey.
Our Soul, as from a broken Snare
A Bird escapes, is fled;
Our Help is from th' Almighty's Care,
Who Earth and Heav'n has spread.
