• This day relenting God
  Hath placed within my hand
  A wondrous thing; and God
  Be praised. At His command,
  Seeking His secret deeds
  With tears and toiling breath,
  I find thy cunning seeds,
  O million-murdering Death.
  I know this little thing
  A myriad men will save.
  O Death, where is thy sting?
  Thy victory, O Grave?
