Author of Good! to thee I turn
1
Author of Good! to thee I turn:Thy ever wakeful eyeAlone can all my wants discern,Thy hand alone supply.
2
O, let thy fear within me dwell,Thy love my footsteps guide!Thy love shall meaner loves expel,That fear all fears beside.
3
Not to my wish, but to my want,Do thou thy gifts apply;Unasked, what good thou knowest, grant;What ill, though asked, deny.
