Hymne XVI. In a darke Night.
[_]
Darknes is uncomfortable to all, and very dreadfull to many: Therefore, we prepared this Hymne, that such as are fearefull, may have wherewith to comfort their hearts against the terrors of Darknes.
Sing this as the 19, 20, or 21. Psalmes.
[1]
VVhat though the comforts of the Light,This gloomy Night denies?
Though me to trouble, and affright,
Vnwelcome Darknes tries.
VVhat should I doubt? whom should I feare?
Or why disheartned be,
Since thou ô God! art ev'ry where,
And present, still, with me?
2
VVhat mischiefes hath a Midnight howre,My Terror to procure?
VVhat warrant hath a Noon-tide powre
My safety to assure?
I finde no comforts in the Day,
If thou thy presence hid'st;
Nor can the Darknes me dismay
If near me, thou abid'st.
3
Indeed, the F[illeg.]a that hates the light,Doth oft occasion take,
24
This Bugge-beare showes, to make:
Yet, sure, the Darknesse of our Minds
Is that, whereby this Foe,
Most frequently, occasions finds,
The greatest harmes to doe.
4
Me, from that Darknesse to defendThy Grace, ô Lord afford.
To me th'enlightening Spirit lend,
And Lanthorne of thy Word.
For then, though Egypts Darknesse had
Inclos'd me round about;
(Yea, though I sate in Death's blacke Shade)
That Light should guide me out.
