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.
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!
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.
