889. L. M. Doddridge.

The Same.

1My helper, God, I bless his name;

The same his power, his grace the same;

The tokens of his friendly care

Open, and crown, and close, the year.

2I 'midst ten thousand dangers stand,

Supported by his guardian hand,

And see, when I survey my ways,

Ten thousand monuments of praise.

3Thus far his arm hath led me on;

Thus far I make his mercy known;

And, while I tread this mortal land,

New mercies shall new songs demand.
