Mark 8:21: How dark the night which sin hath spread
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
How dark the night which sin hath spread
O'er every heart and mind of man!
Thy blessings. Lord, we will not heed,
Thy benefits pour'd out in vain,
Thy works with careless eye we view,
And wonders every moment new.
Surrounded by Thy power and love.
We will not see the' Almighty's hand,
Unless Thy grace the clouds remove.
And teach our hearts to understand.
And give us in Thy light to see
The fulness of our God in Thee.
