Behold the love, the generous love,
That holy David shows.
Behold his kind compassion move
For his afflicted foes.
When they are sick, his soul complains
And seems to feel the smart.
The spirit of the gospel reigns
And melts his pious heart,
And melts his pious heart.
When they are sick, his soul complains
And seems to feel the smart.
The spirit of the gospel reigns
And melts his pious heart,
And melts his pious heart.

[Note: This is followed by one unidentified sacred harp tune, largely incomprehensible: "Exit."]
