Full of wrath, his threat'ning breath Belching nought but chains and death, Saul was arrested in his way By a voice and light, That if a thousand days Should join their rays To beautify a day It would not show so glorious and so bright. On his amazed eyes it night did fling, That day might break within, And by these beams of faith Make of him, a child of wrath, Become a vessel full of glory. Lord, curb us in our dark and sinful way, We humbly pray, When we down horrid precipices run, With feet that thirst to be undone, That this may be our story.
