And chase these shadowy forms no more;

Seek out some solitude to mourn,

And thy forsaken God implore.

2 O thou, great God, whose piercing eye

Distinctly marks each deep recess;

In these sequestered hours draw nigh,

And with thy presence fill the place.

3 Through all the windings of my heart,

My search let heavenly wisdom guide;

And still its radiant beams impart
