5 What bleffings thy free bounty gives,
Let me not cast away;

For God is pleased when man receives;
T' improve is to obey.

6 Yet not to earth's contracted span
Thy goodness let me bound,
Or think thee Lord alone of man,
When thousand worlds are round.

7 Let not this weak unknowing hand
Presume thy bolts to throw,
And deal damnation round the land
On each I judge thy foe.

8 If I am right, thy grace impart
Still in the right to stay ;

9

If I am wrong, oh teach my heart
To find that better way.

Save me alike from foolish pride,
Or impious discontent,

At aught thy wisdom has denied,
Or aught thy goodness lent.

10 Teach me to feel another's woe,
To hide the fault I fee;
That mercy I to others fhow,
That mercy fhow to me.

II Mean tho' I am, not wholly fo,
Since quickened by thy breath;
O lead me, wherefoe'er I go,
Thro' this day's life or death.

12 This day, be bread and peace my lot; All elfe beneath the fun,

[blocks in formation]

Thou knoweft if best bestowed or not,
And let thy will be done.

13 To thee, whofe temple is all space,
Whose altar, earth, fea, fkies!
One chorus let all Being raise !
All nature's incenfe rife!
