LyicsTo thee, let my first off'rings rise,
Whose sun creates the day,
Swift as his glad'ning influence flies,
And spotless as his ray.
This day thy fav'ring hand be nigh!
So oft vouchsaf'd before!
Still may it lead, protect, supply,
And I that hand adore.
If bliss thy providence impart,
For which resign'd I pray;
Give me to feel the grateful heart,
And thus thy love repay.
Affliction should thy love intend,
As vice or folly's cure,
Patience to gain that gracious end,
May I the means endure!
Be this, and every future day
Still wiser than the past:
And, when I all my life survey,
May grace sustain at last.
