O teach me what is good. Teach me THYSELF! Air, and ye elements, the eldest birth Of Nature's womb, that in quaternion run Save me from folly, vanity, and vice, Perpetual circle, multiform; and mix From every low pursuit ! and feed my soul With knowledge, conscious peace, and virtue And nourish all things; let your ceaxless change Sacred, substantial, never-fuling bliss !

Whether to deck with clouds th' uncolor'd sky, Milton. Or wet the thirsty carth with falling showers, Tuese are Thy glorious works, Parent of good, Rising or falling still advance his praise. Almighty, thine this universal frame, Thus wondrous fair; thyself howwondrous then! Brcathe soft or loud; and wave your tops, yePines, His praise, yeWinds,that from four quarters blow, l'aspeakable, who sitt'st above these Heavens With every plant in sign of worship ware. To us invisible, or dimly scen Fountains, and ye that warble as ye flow In these thy lowest works ; yet these declare Melodious murmurs, warbling tune his Thy goodness beyond thought, and pow'r divine. Join voices, all ye living Souls ; ye Birds, praise. Speak ve who best can tell, ye sons of light, That singing up to IIcaven's gate ascend, Angels ; for ye behold him, and with songs Bear on your wings and in your notes his praise.

In every creature own thy forming power, Through every period of my life In each event thy providence adore. Thy goodness I'll pursue ; Divide thy works no more, Thy mesey shall adore. Then when the last, the closing hour draws Through all eternity to Theo nigh, A joyful song I'll raise, 5 Hymn on Providence. Addison; Teach me to fix my ardent hopes on high, And, having liv'd to the, in ihce to die. The Lord iny pasture shall prepare, His presence shall my wants supply, § 4. llymn on Gratitude. Addison. And guard me with a watchful eye; When all thy mercics, O my God, My noon-day walks he shall attend, My rising soul surveys ; And all my inidnight hours defend. Transported with the view, I'm lost When in the sultry glebe I faint, lo wonder, love, and praise. Or on the thirsty mountains pant; To fertile vales, and dewy meads, O how shall words with equal warmth My weary wand'ring steps he leads ; The gratitude declare Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, That glows within my ravish'd heart? Amid the verdant landskip flow. But thou canst read it there. Tho' in the paths of Death I tread, With gloomy horrors everspread, Vy stedfast heart shall fear no ill, For thou, O Lord, art with me still; And hung upon the breasi. Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, To all my weak complaints and cries And guide me through the dreadful shade. Thy mercy lent an ear, Tho' in á bare and rugged var, Ere yet ry feeble thoughts had learnt "To forin themselves in pray's. Through devions lonely wiles I stray, Thy bounty shall niy pains beguile: Unnumber'd comforts to my soul The barren wilderness shall smile, Thy tender care bestow'd, With sudden greens and herbage crown'd; Before my infant heart conceiv'd And streains shall murmur all around. $6.

Does his Creator's pow'r display, The work of an Almighty hand. Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wond'rons tale, Thy hounteous hand with worldly bliss And nightly to the list'ning earth, llas made my cup run o'er, Repeats the story of her birth : And in a kind and faithful friend Whilst all the stars that round her burn, Has doubled all my store. and all the planets in their turn, Confira |
