HYMN.

THE busy mind, in due devotion nurst,
By anxious forecast gains habitual power,
E'en at a wish, the bands of sleep to burst,
And rise to action at the stated hour.
Aid me my God! in this dark-world of pride,
To make my spirit bend to power above!
And thro' the remnant of my days to glide,
True to thy law! and glowing with thy love!
Lucilio.
