O God, whose thunder shakes the sky, Whose eye this atom glebe surveys, To thee, my only rock, I fly, Thy merey in Thy justice praise. The mystic mazes in thy wil! The shadows of celestial h Are past the powers of human skill; But what the eternal acts is right © teach me in the trying hour When anguish swells the dewy cear, To sill my sorrows, own Thy power, lo gooduess love, thy jus fear If in this bosom aught but Eneroaching sought a bou sway,

Ouniseience e uld the dang rsee, And merey look the cau way.

Tien why, my soul, dost thou Vhy drooping seek the dark rec Shake off the melancholy chain For God created all to bless.

‘But yet, with fortitude resign’d,

I'll thank the infliction of the blow, Forbid the sigh, compose my mind,

Nor let the gush of misery flow.

The gloomy mantle of the night,

Which on my sinking spirit steals, ‘Will vanish at the morning light

Which God, my East, my San, reveals.
