98 Father, in me reveal thy Son,

And to my inmost soul make known

How merciful thou art:

The secret of thy love reveal,

And by thine hallowing Spirit dwell

For ever in my heart!

PRIGHT, both in heart and will,

We by our God were made;

But we turn'd from good to ill,

And o'er the creature stray'd;

Multiplied our wandering thought,

Which first was fix'd on God alone;

In ten thousand objects sought

The bliss we lost in one.

From our own inventions vain

Of fancied happiness,

Draw us to thyself again,

And bid our wanderings cease;

Jesus, speak our souls restored,

By Love's divine simplicity;

Re-united to our Lord,

And wholly lost in thee!

ATHER of lights, from whom proceeds

Whate'er thy every creature needs;

Whose goodness, providently nigh,

Feeds the young ravens when they cry;

To thee I look: my heart prepare;

Suggest, and hearken to my prayer.
