“Hear what the Lord has done for me.”

Have you no words? ah! think again,

Words flow apace when you complain;

And fill your fellow-creature’s ear

With the sad tale of all your care.

 

Were half the breath thus vainly spent,

To Heav’n in supplication sent;

Your cheerful song would oft’ner be,

“Hear what the Lord has done for me.”

-William Cowper
