| | Habakkuk, iii: 17–18.
THOUGH bare of bloom the broad-leafed fig | |
| And vines no luscious clusters show, | |
| And toil that sinewed arms bestow | |
| On olive erst with berries big | |
| Shall fail, and fields shall yield no meat, | 5 |
| Nor herds more in the stables low, | |
| Nor woolly flocks in fold shall bleat, | |
| I yet with joy the Lord shall greet, | |
| With song my Strength and Saviour praise, | |
| Who renders like to hinds my feet | 10 |
| And doth me to high places raise. | | | | |
