With that controlling power assist ev’n me,

Those headlong furious passions to confine,

For all unfit I feel my powers to be,

To rule their torrent in th’ allowed line;

O, aid me with Thy help, Omnipotence Divine!

Burns.

God, my supporter and my hope,

My help for ever near,

Thine arm of mercy held me up,

When sinking in despair.
