What though the waters o’er thee roll?

They touch not thine immortal soul.

3 See where, arrayed on either hand,

The direful train of passions stand;

See hatred, envy, bar thy way,

And foes more subtle still than they.

4 But, robed in innocence and truth,

From all temptation guard thy youth;

And from thy vestment’s sacred bound

Shake the dread fiends that cling around.
