let us not, great God ! ourselves deceive, Or with presumptuous mind our souls betray, But give us grace in Jesu to believe, And faith to climb up on His hardest way. That perfect way designed to train the soul, And to develope its heroic powers, 30 And give it faith to find the deathless goal, Whose base above the crest of nature towers. Oh ! give us patience, Lord ! oh ! give us power, To bear rejoicing every pang of pain, May wring our bosom through life's troubled hour, As here we strive Th...y heaven of good to gain ! Unto our being, Lord ! the grace impart, That it may sing to Thee a life of praise, Which, Lord ! with each pulsation of our heart, Shall bless the giver of our mortal days. Oh ! with Thy thoughts, oh ! Lord ! our soul inspire, More lovely than the opening flowers of spring ; Oh ! teach our souls the good their prayers desire, That we Thy mercy to mankind may sing. Who Thy eternal truth to man hast given, And reared the standard of our good so high, That it from earth directs as high as heaven, The life that lower aimed, in dust would die.
