-2 Inspire my soul with life divine,
And make me truly bold;

Let knowledge, faith, and meekness shine,
Nor love, nor zeal, grow cold.

3 Let mockers scoff, the world defame,
And treat me with disdain;
Still may glory in thy naine,
And count reproach my gain.

o 4 To thee I cheerfully submit,
And all my powers resign;
Let Wisdom point out what is fit,
And I'll no more repine.

Contentment. Phil. iv. 11.

FAs tempests vex the sen;

IERCE passions discompose the mind, &,'

But calm content and peace we find,

When, Lord, we trust in thee.

2 In vain by reason, and by rule,
We try to bend the will;

For none, but in the Saviour's school,
Can learn the heavenly skill.

3 Since at his feet my soul has sat,
His gracious words to hear;
Contented with my present state,
I cast on him my care.

4"Art thou a sinner, soul?" he said,
"Then how canst thou complain?
"How light thy troubles here, if weighed
"With everlasting pain!

5 "If thou of murmuring wouldst be cured,
"Compare thy griefs with

mine;

"Think what my love for thee enduredAnd thou wilt not repine.

6 "Tis appoint thy daily lot,

And 1 do all things well;

"Thou soon shalt leave this wretched spot, And rise with me to dwell.

7 In life my grace shall strength supply, "Proportioned to thy day;

"At death thou still shalt find ine nigh, "To wipe thy tears away."

Nor sink in hopeless fear;

For when they least expect his aid,

The Saviour will appear.

To save the invaded land.

When Jonah sunk beneath the wave,
He thought to rise no morë;

o But God prepared a fish, to save,

And bear him to the shore.

-5 Blest proofs of power and grace divine, That meet us in his word!

May every deep-telt care of mine mont
Be trusted with the Lord.

And though it tarry, wait :

OY whom was David taught,

BT aim the dreadful blow,

When he Goliah fought,

And laid the Gittite low?

-No sword nor spear the stripling took,

But chose a pebble from the brook.
2 Twas Israel's God and King,
Who sent him to the fight;
Who gave him strength to sling,
And skill to aim aright:

-Ye feeble saints, your strength endures,
Because young David's God is yours.

3 Who ordered Gideon forth,

To storm the invader's camp,
With arms of little worth,
A pitcher and a lamp?

The trumpets made his coming known
And all the host was overthrown.

4 Oh! I have seen the day,
When, with a single word-
God helping me to say,

e My trust is in the Lord,"-
o My soul has quelled a thousand foes,
Fearless of all that could oppose.
e 5 But unbelief, self-will,

Self-righteousness and pride-
How often do they steal
My weapons from my side!

o Yet David's Lord, and Gideon's Friend,

Will help his servant to the end.

Thankfulness for Providential Goodness.

My rising soul surveys;

And all my wants redressed.

Or hung upon the breast.

Thy mercy lent an ear.

Ere yet my feeble thoughts had learned
To form themselves in prayer,..

• Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe, And led me up to mana

5 When worn with sickness, of hast thou With health renewed my face;

e And when in sin and sorrow sunk, Revived my soul with grace.

6 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts. My daily thanks employ;

e Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes those gills with joy. -7 Through every period of my life, Thy goodness I'll pursue;

o And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew.
