His loving kindness, O how strong!

4 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud,

Has gathered thick and thundered loud,

He near my soul has always stood,

His loving kindness, O how good!

5 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale,

Soon all my mortal powers must fail;

O may my last expiring breath

His loving kindness sing in death!

6 Then let me mount and soar away
