Before thy strength is touched? Why, let me put

A drop of courage from my breast in thine.

There is a hope for thee. The captive maid

Of Israel who dwelt within thy house

Knew of a god very compassionate,

Long-suffering, slow to anger, one who heals

The sick, hath pity on the fatherless,

And saves the poor and him who has no helper.

His prophet dwells nigh to Samaria;

And I have heard that he hath brought the dead
