Almighty power, I love Thee! blissful name,

My healer, God! and may my inmost soul

Love and adore for ever! Oh, ’tis good

To wait submissive at Thy holy throne,

To leave petitions at Thy feet, and bear

Thy frowns and silence with a patient soul.

The hand of mercy is not short to save,

Nor is the ear of heavenly pity deaf

To mortal cries.
