[The means of life to gain]
We let her drive.
—xxvii. 15–17.
The means of life to gain
What will not mortals dare?
Fearless they tempt the stormy main,
And all the dangers there!
On rocks and quicksands still
Through hurricanes they ride,
And trust a feeble pilot's skill,
And in a plank confide.
What will not mortals dare?
Fearless they tempt the stormy main,
And all the dangers there!
On rocks and quicksands still
Through hurricanes they ride,
And trust a feeble pilot's skill,
And in a plank confide.
But few alas, depend
On an almighty Lord,
Whose faithful mercies never end
To those that keep His word;
Who counts our every hair,
And hides our souls above,
The objects of His guardian care
And providential love.
On an almighty Lord,
