Long Have I Sat Beneath the Sound

My dear Almighty, and my God, How little art Thou known By all the judgments of Thy rod, And blessings of Thy throne! 4. How cold and feeble is my love! How negligent my fear! How low my hope of joys above! How few affections there! 5. Great God! Thy sovereign power impart To give Thy Word success; Write Thy salvation in my heart, And make me learn Thy grace. 6.
