Whilst thee I seek, protecting Power!
Be my vain wishes still'd;
And may this consecrated hour
With better hopes be fill'd.
Thy love the pow'r of thought bestow'd,
To thee my thoughts would soar:
Thy mercy o er my life has flowed;
That mercy I adore.
In each event of life, how clear
Thy ruling hand I see!
Each blessing to my soul most dear.
Because conferred by thee.
In every joy that crowns my days.
In every pain I bear,
My heart shall find delight in praise,
Or seek relief in prayer.
When gladness wings my favor'd hour,
Thy love my thoughts shall fill;
Resign'd, when storms of sorrow low'r,
My soul shall meet thy will.
My lifted eye, without a tear.
The gath'ring storm shall see;
My steadfast heart shall know no fear;
That heart will rest on thee.
