Verse 1
Thou God unsearchable, unknown,
Who still conceal’st thyself from me,
Hear an apostate spirit groan,
Broke off, and far exil’d from thee,
But conscious of my fall I mourn,
And fain I would to thee return.

Verse 2
Send forth one ray of heavenly light,
Of gospel-hope, or humble fear,
To guide me thro’ this gulph of night,
My poor, desponding soul to chear,
’Till thou mine unbelief remove,
And shew me all thy glorious love.
