Christ a Protector of the Wretched. 1 Sam. 22. 2

1 All in debt or in distress,
  Discontented more or less,
  All who would protection have,
  Post away to David’s cave.

2 All who find their sinful debt
  Deep and deeper growing yet;
  All who have been Satan’s tool –
  Much his madman or his fool;

3 All who discontented are,
  Full of guilt and full of fear;
  Every soul who would not die,
  Unto Jesus’ cave must fly.

4 [Jesus all your debts will pay;
  Chase your legal duns away;
  Every foe he will subdue –
  World, and flesh, and devil too.]

5 Haste, and seek the Saviour’s face;
  Rise, and bless him for his grace;
  To his scornèd cave repair;
  He will wash and feast you there.
