Breathe from the gentle south, O Lord,
and cheer me from the north;
Blow on the treasures of thy word,
and call the spices forth!

I wish, thou know-est, to be resigned,
and wait for patient hope;
But hope delay’d fatigues the mind,
and drinks the spirit up.

Help me to reach the distant goal;
confirm my feeble knee:
Pity the sickness of my soul
that faints for love of thee.

Cold as I feel this heart of mine,
Yet, since I felt it so,
It yields some hope of life divine
within however low.

I seem forsaken and alone,
I hear the lion roar;
And every door is shut but one,
and that is mercy’s door.

-Wm. Cowper
