“I wait, my soul doth wait,

For Him who on His shoulder bears the key;

I sit fast bound and yet not desolate,

My mighty Lord is free.”[51]

“O Key of David, and Sceptre of the house of Israel, Thou that openest, and no man shutteth, and shuttest, and no man openeth, come and bring the prisoner out of his prison house.”
