Christ a Protector of the Wretched. 1 Sam. 22. 2
J. Berridge 7s
1
All in debt or in distress,
Discontented more or less,
All who would protection have,
Post away to David’s cave.
2
All who find their sinful debt
Deep and deeper growing yet;
All who have been Satan’s tool –
Much his madman or his fool;
3
All who discontented are,
Full of guilt and full of fear;
Every soul who would not die,
Unto Jesus’ cave must fly.
4
[Jesus all your debts will pay;
Chase your legal duns away;
Every foe he will subdue –
World, and flesh, and devil too.]
5
Haste, and seek the Saviour’s face;
Rise, and bless him for his grace;
To his scornèd cave repair;
He will wash and feast you there.
