A song of deliverence from great distress: "I waited patient for the Lord. He bowed to hear my cry. He saw me resting on his word. And brought salvation nigh. He raised me from a horrid pit. Where mourning long I lay. And from my bonds released my feet. Deep bonds of miry clay. Elizabeth Baynes. Work. Aged 13.
