noughts in musing silence trace
ncient wonders of thy grace.
ce I derive a glimpse of hope
ear my sinking spirits up;
ch my hands to God again,
hirst, like parched lands, for rain.
nee I thirst, I pray, I mourn;
will thy smiling face return?
all my joys on earth remove?
God forever hide his love?

od, thy long delay, to save,
ink thy pris'ner to the grave;
eart grows faint, and dim mine eye;
haste to help before I die.

ight is witness to my tears,
ssing pains, distressing fears :
ght I hear thy morning voice,
vould my wearied pow'rs rejoice!
e I trust, to thee I sigh,
aise my grieved soul on high;
ee sit waiting all the day,
ear the tiresome hours away.
off my fetters, Lord, and show
a is the path, my feet should go;
es and foes beset the road,
o hide me near my God.
me to do thy holy will,
ad me to thy heav'nly hill;
e Good Spirit of thy love
ct me to thy courts above.
shall my soul no more complain;
mpter then shall rage in vain :

esh that was my for before.
