Thomas Moss. 1740-1808

A. M. Toplady. 1740-1778.

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in thee.

Salvation through Christ.

Whose trembling limbs have borne him to your door,

Whose days are dwindled to the shortest span;

Oh give relief, and Heaven will bless your store.

A pampered menial drove me from the door.[433:1]

The Beggar.
