IF His goodness endures the same to the end; Our comforts may vary, our frames may decline, We cannot miscarry, our aid is divine. 2 Tho' God may delay to shew us his light, And heaviness may endure for a night; Yet joy in the morning shall surely abound; Ο WHAT shall I do, my Saviour to praise ? So faithful and true, so plenteous in grace; So strong to deliver, so good to redeem The weakest believer, that hangs upon him! How happy the man, whose heart is set free! The people who can be joyful in thee; Their joy is to walk in the light of thy face, And still they are talking of Jesus's grace. 3 Their daily delight will be in thy name; They shall, as their right, thy righteousness claim; Thy righteousness wearing, and cleans'd by thy blood, Bold shall they appear in the presence of God. 1 684. 148th.
