What I am still so slow to learn—

That God is love, and changes not,

Nor knows the shadow of a turn.

4 Sweet truth, and easy to repeat!

But, when my faith is sharply tried,

I find myself a learner yet,

Unskillful, weak, and apt to slide.

5 But, O my God! one look from thee

Subdues the disobedient will,

Drives doubt and discontent away;
