CI. The Blind and Weak led and supported in GOD'S Ways.
From Hymns founded on various Texts in the Holy Scriptures (1755)
PRAISE to the radiant Source of Bliss,
Who gives the Blind their Sight,
And scatters round their wond'ring Eyes
A Flood of sacred Light.
In Paths unknown he leads them on
To his divine Abode,
And shews new Miracles of Grace
Thro' all the heav'nly Road.
The Ways all rugged and perplex'd
He renders smooth and straight,
And strengthens ev'ry feeble Knee
To march to Zion's Gate.
Thro' all the Path I'll sing his Name,
Till I the Mount ascend,
Where Toils and Storms are known no more,
And Anthems never end.
