Job 35:10: Thou Giver of songs in the night
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Thou Giver of songs in the night,
Of joy in the darkest distress,
I sigh to recover Thy light,
I long for a glimpse of Thy face:
Ah, put the new song in my heart,
(For nothing on earth I desire,)
And lo, I exult to depart,
And mix with Thy heavenly choir.
