Than watch one hour in humbling prayer;
Life’s great things, like the Syrian lord,
Our hearts can do and dare.
5 But, O, we shrink from Jordan’s side,
From waters which alone can save;
And murmur for Abana’s banks
And Pharpar’s brighter wave.
6 O thou, who in the garden’s shade
Didst wake thy weary ones again,
Who slumbered at that fearful hour,
