Thy wrestlings on Judea’s hills;

And still thou lovest the quiet spot

Where praise the lowly spirit fills.

4 Now to our souls, withdrawn awhile

From earth’s rude noise, thy face reveal,

And, as we worship, kindly smile,

And for thine own our spirits seal.

5 To thee we bring each grief and care,

To thee we fly while tempests lower;

Thou wilt the weary burdens bear
