[Of Thee, O Lord, I oft have heard]

I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear, &c. —xlii. 5.

Of Thee, O Lord, I oft have heard,
Of what Thine arm hath done,
And taught by man, I blindly fear'd,
And served a God unknown:
But when Thy presence in my heart
Doth unbelief remove,
I taste, and see how good Thou art,
Inspired by humble love.
