3. Oh! weak to know a Saviour's To feel a Father's care; power, A moment's toil, a passing shower, 4. The orb of light, though clouds awhile 5. And, bursting through the dusky shroud Ride throned in light o'er every cloud, 6. Then, Christian, dry the falling tear, 1. AND can my heart aspire so high, 2. I would submit to all Thy will, BOWDLER. 3. Thy love can cheer the darksome gloom, 4. My Father! O permit my heart And ask the bliss those words impart, MRS. STEELE. 1. GOD of my life and all my powers, Shall life, so favored in its dawn, 2. To Thee, O Lord, my tender years 3. From parent's eye, and paths of men, It swelled the hymn, and sealed the prayer; 4. Oft when beneath the work of sin 5. Thy dew came down-my heart was Thine; It knew nor doubt nor strife; Cool now, and peaceful as the grave, 6. Still will I hope for voice and strength Though I must die to all that 's mine, C. WESLEY. 1. O THOυ eternal Source of love! In Substance One, in Persons Three! 2. For Thy dear mercy's sake receive 3. Our flesh, our reins, our spirits, Lord, CASWELL. 820. 821. C. M. 1. O THOU, from whom all goodness flows, In all my sorrows, conflicts, woes, 2.
