Omniscient God, to me impart The blessing of an upright heart, And then thine eyes will see With kind regard my favour'd soul, And Jesus will put forth his whole Omnipotence in me. "Asa was diseased in his feet: yet he sought not to the Lord, but to the physicians." II. Chron. xvi. 12. Th' incurable disease Which baffles human art, The healer of mankind can ease, Or bid it all depart: I hang upon thy breath! And let thy will be done, In ease and pain, in life and death I seek to God alone. "Thou hast prepared thine heart to seek God." II. Chron. xix. 3. Ah, how can I my heart prepare To seek my Lord aright? Jesus, the way, thyself declare In pure unerring light, Giver of true repentance, break This stubborn heart of stone, Then shall I leave my sins, and seek, And find thee all my own. "In thine hand is power and might." II. Chron. xx. 6. Power and might are in thy hand Which gives the victory, None is able to withstand An host sustain'd by thee: Shew thyself the Lord most high, Exert thine arm in our defence, Jesus come, and glorify Thine own omnipotence. Page 205 "We have no might against this great company." II. Chron. xx. 12. So powerful both by sea and land, Can Britain say, we have no might? None, none against our foes to stand, Unless the Lord for Israel fight: We have no might wherein to trust, And will, if blest with victory, Jesus, of thy protection boast, And all the praise ascribe to thee. "Neither know we what to do, but our eyes are upon thee." II. Chron. xx. 12. Thou know'st, I know not what to do, But turn on thee my wishful eye, The help of man, the means, look thro', On thee, on thee alone rely: Mine eye of faith, desire and prayer Forever fixt on heaven, attends, Till sav'd I find a spokesman there, And God into my heart descends.
