Lo my prayerFolloweth thee, & faith that nought may move.With prayer I came, & now with pleading strongI leave thee, that my flinchless trust thou share;So shall God aid us, who to him belong.Though all earth censure me, by Heaven I swear,Though tyranny me test with trial untold,No torments shall enwaver me, nor fear.Though pleasure her most dazzling joys forth hold,& luring musics to enravish me,Thee only see I, thee hear, only theeI follow:—thou who trav’lest love’s long roadKnowest that there no rest is, nor abode.
