| 1 O thou, before whose gracious throne We bow our suppliant spirits down, Thou know'st the anxious cares we feel, And all our trembling lips would tell. 2 Avert thy swift desolating stroke, Nor smite the shepherd of the flock; Restore him, sinking to the grave, Stretch out thine arm, make haste to save; 3 But if our supplications fail, And prayer's and tears cannot prevail: Be thou his strength, be thou his stay: Support him through the gloomy way. 4 Around him may thy angels stand, Waiting the signal of thy hand, To bid his happy spirit rise, And bear him to their native skies. | A Selection of Hymns: from the best authors, intended to be an appendix to Dr. Watt's psalms and hymns.
