LOVE TO GOD

Let gratitude in acts of goodness flow; Our love to God, in love to man below. Be this our joy—to calm the troubled breast, Support the weak, and succour the distrest; Direct the wand’rer, dry the widow’s tear; The orphan guard, the sinking spirits cheer. Tho’ small our pow’r to act, tho’ mean our skill, God sees the heart;—he judges by the will.
