And bowed my stubborn neck:

Thou saidst, “What art thou seeking?”

“O Lord! that I might see.”

Oh! then I heard Thee speaking;

“Believe, and it shall be.”

Our hope, Lord, faileth never,

When Thou Thy word dost plight;

My fears then ceased for ever,

And all my soul was light.

Thou gavest me Thy blessing;
