Prayer, In The Prospect Of Death
prayer, in the prospect of death o thou unknown, almighty cause of all my hope and fear! in whose dread presence, ere an hour, perhaps i must appear! if i have wander'd in those paths of life i ought to shun, as something, loudly, in my breast, remonstrates i have done; thou know'st that thou hast formed me with passions wild and strong; and list'ning to their witg voice has often led me wrong. where human weakness has e short, or frailty stept aside, do thou, all-good—for such thou art— in shades of darkness hide. where with iion i have err'd, no other plea i have, but, thood; and goodness still delighteth tive.
