I had not thought to see thy face Having many years given him up for lost; and, lo, God hath showed me also thy seed! See here, how these two good men own God in their comforts. Joseph saith, They are my sons whom God has given me And to magnify the favour he adds, in this place of my banishment, slavery, and imprisonment. Jacob saith here, God hath showed me thy seed Our comforts are then doubly sweet to us, when we see them coming from God's hand.
