Thro' this wide wilderness I roam,
Far distant from my blissful home;
My earthly joys are from me torn,
And oft an absent God I mourn.
My soul with various tempests toss'd,
Her fairest hopes and projects cross'd,
Sees ev'ry day new straits attend,
And wonders where the scene will end.
Is this, dear Lord, that thorny road.
Which leads us to the mount of God? —
Are these the toils thy people know,
While in the wilderness below?
'Tis even so — thy faithful love
Doth all thy children's graces prove;
'Tis thus our pride and self must fall;
That Jesus may be all in all.
