Shall still my languid heart inflame,

And bow my faltering knee:

O! yet this bosom feels the fire,

This trembling hand and drooping lyre

Have yet a strain for thee!

3 Yes! broken, tuneless, still, O Lord,

This voice transported shall record

Thy goodness, tried so long;

Till, sinking slow, with calm decay,

Its feeble murmurs melt away
