Escape is such a thankful Word
I often in the Night
Consider it unto myself
No spectacle in sight
Escape-it is the Basket
In which the Heart is caught
When down some awful Battlement
The rest of Life is dropt-
'Tis not to sight the savior-
It is to be the saved-
And that is why I lay my Head
Upon this trusty word-
Escape Is Such A Thankful Word
