Hymn to the Creator.

Topics: classic

Source of all kind, all potent thought!     Thou God of Goodness, and of Power!     In Thee my soul, by trouble taught,     Shall trust, as in protection's tower.     The surest friend, the safest guard,     In thy sweet mercy may I see!     And solitude itself regard,     As blessed intercourse with Thee!     Lord! in whose hands are life, and death,     So let me live, so let me die,     That love may grace my vital breath,     And faith, and hope, my final sigh!
