CDXLI. Prayer for the whold Church

1 In thee, thou all-sufficient God,
The springs of happiness arise,
That cheer this howling waste below,
And bless the mansions of the skies:

2 We the productions of thy power
And pensioners upon thy love,
Look to thy throne with longing eyes,
And wait thy blessings from above:

3 Protect the young from every snare,
And let thy staff support the old,
Relieve the poor, nor let the rich,
Have all their heritage in gold.

4 Let joyful saints still take thy grace,
Give to the mourenrs heavenly day,
Sustain the strong and quick revive,
The withering plants from their decay.
