Ode Thomson 910 §1. An Address to the Deity. Thomson. | And ye five other wand'ring fires that move ATHER of SUPREME! F §2. Adam and Eve, in a Morning Hymn, call Milton. THESE are Thy glorious works, Parent of good, In these thy lowest works; yet these declare Angels; for ye behold him, and with songs On Earth, join all ye creatures to extol Fairest of stars, last in the train of night, In mystic dance, not without song, resound Of Nature's womb, that in quaternion run Him first, him last, him midst, and without end. To hill or valley, fountain, or fresh shade If better thou belong not to the dawn, Made vocal by my song, and taught his praise. In ev'ry leaf that trembles to the breeze Thy hopes shall animate my drooping soul, Thy precepts guide me, and thy fear control: Thus shall I rest, uninov'd by alí alarms, Secure within, the temple of thine arms, Ten thousand thousand precious gifts That tastes those gifts with joy. Through every period of my life From anxious cares, from gloomy terrors free, My ever grateful heart, O Lord, And feel myself omnipotent in thee. Then when the last, the closing hour draws nigh, § 4. Hymn on Gratitude. WHEN all thy mercics, O my God, My rising soul surveys; Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. Addison. O how shall words with equal warmth That glows within my ravish'd heart? To all my weak complaints and cries Ere yet my feeble thoughts had learnt From whom those comforts flow'd. When in the slipp'ry paths of youth With heedless steps I ran, Thine arm unseen convey'd me safe, And led me up to man. Through hidden dangers, toils, and deaths, It gently clear'd my way, And through the pleasing snares of vice, More to be fear'd than they. When worn with sickness, oft hast thou With health renew'd my face, And when in sins and sorrows sunk, Reviv'd my soul with grace. Thy bounteous hand with worldly bliss Has made my cup run o'er, And in a kind and faithful friend Has doubled all my store. 4 Thy metey shall adore. Through all eternity to Thee A joyful song I'll raise, For O! eternity's too short To utter all thy praise. §5 Hymn on Providence. Addisonir THE Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd's eare: His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye; My noon-day walks he shall attend, And all my inidnight hours defend. When in the sultry glebe I faint, Or on the thirsty mountains pant; To fertile vales, and dewy meads, My weary wand'ring steps he leads; Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, Amid the verdant landskip flow. Tho' in the paths of Death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My stedfast heart shall fear no ill, For thou, O Lord, art with me still; Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And guide me through the dreadful shade. Thơ in á bare and rugged way, Through devious lonely wilds I stray, Thy bounty shall my pains beguile: The barren wilderness shall smile, With sudden greens and herbage crown'd; And streams shall murmur all around. §6. Another Hymn, from the beginning of the 19th Psalm. Addison. THE spacious firmament on high, Confirm |
