Nehemiah 9:19: Yet Thou in Thy manifold mercies, &c

Thy people in the wilderness,
We are not yet forsook.
But kept and nourish'd by Thy grace,
And follow'd by our Rock;
For forty long rebellious years
We have Thy patience tried.
Yet still the cloud and fire appears,
x nd still Thou art our Guide.

O how shall we Thy grace record.
With equal praise commend
The goodness of our patient Lord,
And mercies without end!
Us to that better Canaan bring.
That land of rest above.
And then we v/orthily shall sing
Thine everlasting love
