The highest good, the fairest part,
Thy glory is and favour.
Sun of my soul! my chief delight!
Whate'er is pleasing in Thy sight,
Oh! may I choose and do it;
And what's displeasing unto Thee,
May I, O Lord! eschew it.
Is it from Thee? my work then bless;
Is it of man? withhold success,
And change what I'm resolving.
