My heart is disquieted within me, and the fear of death is fallen upon me. Then I said, O that I had wings like a dove, then would I fly away, and be at rest! ANTHEM SECOND. Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God; speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a high way for our God.
