Volume 10 (1787): 302-3 A Prayer Written for Mrs. Sarah Bulgin.52 Jesus, in whose name I trust, Nearest those who need thee most; See, thy helpless creature see, Touch'd with my infirmity. While I sensibly decline, Unassur'd that thou art mine, Pain'd in life, of death afraid, Let me feel thy present aid. Calmly with submission mourn, For the Comforter's return; For the reconciling kiss, Seal of my eternal bliss. When his coming from above, Re-assures me of thy love, Stamps thy image on my heart, Ready am I to depart. Or if so my Lord ordain, Still I in the flesh remain, Neither life, nor death request; Sure whate'er thou wilt is best. Till thy welcome will is done, Hang I on my Lord alone; Happy thine in life to be, Happi'r still to die in thee! 52Included in "An Extract of the Experience and happy Death of Mrs. Sarah Bulgin," 301-3.
