HYMN.

CONSTANT as light attends the birth of day,
Devotion waits upon my waking soul;
Giver, and guide of life! to thee I pray,
And bend obedient to thy blest controul.
So may thy favour fashion all my days,
That I may 'scape e'en unsuspected ill!
May, to my latest moment, speak thy praise,
And bless, with gratitude, thy gracious will!
