How dark the night which sin hath spread O’er every heart and mind of man! Thy blessings, Lord, we will not heed, Thy benefits poured out in vain; Thy works with careless eye we view, And wonders every moment new. Surrounded by Thy power and love We will not see the Almighty’s hand Unless Thy grace the clouds remove And teach our hearts to understand. And give us in Thy light to see The fulness of our God in Thee.
