Like holy Incense rise;
Assist the off'rings of my tongue
To reach the lofty skies.
2 Thro' all the dangers of the day,
Thy hand was still my guard,
And still to drive my wants away
Thy mercy stood prepared.
3 Perpetual blessings from above
Encompass me around;
But, O, how few returns of love
Hath my Creator found!
4 Sprinkled afresh with pard'ning blood,
I lay me down to rest,
As in th' embraces of my God,
Or on my Savior's breast. Scripture: Psalm 141:2 Used With Tune: ST. BERNARD NEW
