I see thy cross -- there teach my heart to cling: oh, let me seek thee, and oh, let me find! 4 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh: teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh: teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 5 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame -- the baptism of the heaven-descended Dove, my heart an altar, and thy love the flame.

Deep are his counsels, and unknown, But grace and truth support his throne; Though gloomy clouds his ways surround, Justice is their eternal ground. In robes of judgment, lo! he comes, Shakes the wide earth and cleaves the tombs; Before him burns devouring fire; The mountains melt, the seas retire. His enemies, with sore dismay, Fly from the sight, and shun the day; Then lift your heads, ye saints, on high, And sing, for your redemption's nigh. Scripture: Psalm 97:1-5
