And O, I cried, can this be prayer

Whose plaints the steadfast mountains move?

Can this be heaven's prevailing care?

And, O my God, is this thy love?

But soon I found that sorrow, worn

As duty's garment, strength supplies,

And out of darkness meekly borne

Unto the righteous light doth rise.

And soon I found that fears which stirred

My startled soul God's will to do,
