LyicsWHILE thee I seek, protecting Pow'r!
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 flow'd;
That mercy I adore.
In each event of life, how clear
Thy guiding hand I see!
Each blessing to my soul most dear,
Because conferr'd by thee.
In ev'ry joy that crowns my days,
In ev'ry pain I bear,
My heart shall find delight in praise,
Or seek relief in pray'r.
My lifted eyes, without a tear,
The gath'ring storm shall see,
My steadfast heart, without a fear,
Shall find repose in thee.
