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;
