XXX. The Hymn.
To thee, Almighty God! I raise
My heart and voice in prayer and praise;
I ask of thee, in humble prayer,
That thou wilt keep me in thy care.
I beg for grace, that I may shun,
All thou forbiddest to be done:
And ever doing what is right,
Be blest in thy protecting sight.
Almighty Lord! O let me prove
My adoration and my love,
By walking in thy holy way,
For ever more, O Lord! I pray.
