What Confcience dictates to be done,
Or warns me not to doe,

This, teach me more than Hell to fhun,
That, more than Heav'n pursue.

What Bleffings thy free Bounty gives,
Let me not caft away;

For God is pay'd when Man receives,
T'enjoy, is to obey.

Yet not to Earths contracted Span
Thy Goodness let me bound,

Or think Thee Lord alone of Man,

When thousand Worlds are round:

Let not this weak, unknowing hand
Prefume Thy Bolts to throw,

And deal Damnation round the land,
On each I judge thy Foe:

If I am right, thy grace impart
Still in the right to stay ;

If I am wrong, oh teach my heart
To find that better Way!

Save me alike from foolish Pride,
Or impious Discontent,

At ought thy Wisdom has deny'd,
Or ought thy Goodness lent.

L

Teach me to feel another's Woe;
To hide the Fault I fee;

That Mercy I to others show,
That Mercy fhow to me.

Mean tho' I am, not wholly fo

Since quickened by thy Breath,

Oh lead me wherefoe'er I go,

Thro' this day's Life or Death:

This day, be Bread and Peace my Lot:
All elfe beneath the Sun,

Thou know'ft if best bestow'd or not,
And let Thy Will be done.

To Thee, whofe Temple is all Space, Whofe Altar, Earth, Sea, Skies!

One Chorus let all Being raife!

All Nature's Incence rife!
