XLVIII. IN GOD'S SIGHT.
Why should we vex our foolish minds
So much from day to day,
With what an idle world concerning us
May think or say?
So much from day to day,
With what an idle world concerning us
May think or say?
Do we not know there sits a Judge,
Before whose searching eyes
Our inmost hidden being cleft in twain
And open lies?
Before whose searching eyes
Our inmost hidden being cleft in twain
And open lies?
O my omniscient Lord and God!
Enough, enough for me,
That Thou the evil in me and the good
Dost wholly see.
Enough, enough for me,
That Thou the evil in me and the good
Dost wholly see.
Let others in their fancies think of me
Or say whate'er they will;
Such as I am before thy judgement-seat
So am I still.
Or say whate'er they will;
Such as I am before thy judgement-seat
So am I still.
Praise they my good beyond desert,
And all my bad ignore;—
That am I which in Thy pure sight I am,
No less, no more!
And all my bad ignore;—
That am I which in Thy pure sight I am,
No less, no more!
Decry they all my good, and blame
My evil in excess;—
That am I which in Thy pure sight I am,
No more—no less!
My evil in excess;—
That am I which in Thy pure sight I am,
No more—no less!
