A HYMN. By the same; a little before her Death, October 5, 1763.
Tho' little else thy Servant knows,
But Sorrow, Care, and Pain;
On thee, my Saviour, I repose,
Nor of my Lot complain.
But Sorrow, Care, and Pain;
On thee, my Saviour, I repose,
Nor of my Lot complain.

Thy Mercies, in my Woes, I prove;
Thy Justice I confess;
Thy Kindness, and paternal Love,
In thy Corrections bless.
Thy Justice I confess;
Thy Kindness, and paternal Love,
In thy Corrections bless.
Now almost spent, an early Prey,
All human Aid I see
Is vain; yet cast me not away,
Lord! still I have Hope in thee.
All human Aid I see
Is vain; yet cast me not away,
Lord! still I have Hope in thee.
O may I, once more, Comfort find,
(Nor shall my Soul despair)
In Death; submitting all resign'd,
I ask no Favour here.
(Nor shall my Soul despair)
In Death; submitting all resign'd,
I ask no Favour here.
Grant me, O Lord! a safe Retreat,
In that important Hour,
World without End to celebrate,
Thy Glory and thy Power.
In that important Hour,
World without End to celebrate,
Thy Glory and thy Power.
