Ezra 8:22: Lord, we before the world profess
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Lord, we before the world profess
Our trust in Thine almighty grace
Which for Thy servants cares;
Thou, while we trust on Thee alone,
Dost bring the blind by ways unknown,
And number all our hairs.
Ah, leave us not in danger's day,
By fear Thine honour to betray,
By base mistrust to' offend
The strangers to Thy pardoning love;
But let us still consistent prove,
And faithful to the end.
