Ev’n as thy joys, thy sorrows too shall end.’

My heart the chamber of His musing is,

Mine eye the mirror of His beauty’s face,

My hand the servant of His purposes.

I, who to neither wealth nor worldly place

Incline, nor to religion’s promised ease,

Bend low beneath the burden of His grace.

Since all I have is of His bounty given,

So is my poor pride but in His proud name,
