It breathes in the air, it shines in the light, It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain. 4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In thee we do trust, nor find thee to fail; Thy mercies how tender! how firm to the end!

For ye have felt his love; So shall your trembling tongues be dumb, Your lips forget to move. 4 Ye young, before his throne, Come, bow; your voices raise; Let not your hearts his praise disown, Who gives the power to praise. 5 Thou, whose benignant eye In mercy looks on all, Who seest the tear of misery, And hear'st the mourner's call, 6 Up to thy dwelling-place, Bear our frail spirits on, Till they outstrip time's tardy pace, And heaven on earth be won.
