- Thou ever blessed God of truth / Teach an aspiring grateful youth / thy goodness to proclaim / In joy or sorrow life or Death / Pray this employ my latest breath / To praise thy gracious name // Almighty father Heavens Eternal King / Of every mercy author source and spring / Thou mak'st the day and night / Thou art my star my shield my guide / Thy mercies o'er thy works preside / And all thou dost is right // All comforts we enjoy below / Do from thy boundless mercy flow / Thou great and good Supreme / Be thou my guide till life's no more / And when I've gain'd thy eternal shore / My everlasting theme // (Across the bottom): Susanna Deems's work finished November the 20th 1818 in the 7th year of her age //
