Let thy returning Spirit, Lord!
Dispel the shades of night;
Smile on this poor, benighted soul,
For Oh! thy smiles are light.
While scoffers at thy sacred word
Deride the pangs I feel,
Deem my religion insincere,
Or call it useless zeal;
Yet will I ne'er repent my choice,
I'll ne'er withdraw my trust;
I know thee. Lord, a powerful friend,
And kind, and wise, and just.
Then, O my soul, why thus depress'd.
And whence this anxious fear?
In God, the refuge, fix thy trust,
And check the rising tear.
