Eternal God! enthron'd on high!
Whom angel hosts adore;
Who yet to suppliant dust art nigh.
Thy presence I implore.
Oh, guide me down the steep of age,
And keep my passions cool;
Teach me to scan the sacred page,
And practice ev'ry rule.
My flying years time urges on,
What's human must decay:
My friends, my young companions, gone,
Can I expect to stay?
Ah! No—tben sooth the mortal hour,
On thee my hope depends;
Support me with almighty pow'r,
while dust to dust descends.
