"God of my life and author of my days. / Permit my feeble voice to lisp thy praise / And trembling take upon a mortal tongue / That hallow d name to harps of feraphs surg / Yet here the brightest feroorhs could no more / Than hide their faces tremble and adore / / Teach me to feel another's woe To hide the / Fault I see That mercy I to others show / That mercy show to me. This day be bread and / Peace my lot As else beneath the sun Thou / Know it if best bestow d or not And let thy / Will be done / Eliza and Emma Johnson's Work
