HYMN VI.

“_But God is faithful_” 1 COR. x, 18.

“Cofia, Arglwydd, dy ddyweddi,”

LORD, remember, we implore Thee,

And defend from every foe

Thy poor spouse that bends before Thee

Palpitating as a doe:

Be Thou unto her a Pillar

To direct her in the night,—

To illuminate and fill her

With the lustre of Thy Light.

Life is far more strange than fiction,—

But its immortality

In defiance of affliction

Magnifies its mystery.

When the winnowing commences,

Lord, enable us to stand

Purified from past offences

At the last on Thy Right Hand.

O that, as a cloud ascending

Upwards to the skies above,

We may rise, and with unending

Rapture realise Thy Love!

Three in One, The Same as ever,

God proclaims His Name to be

Alpha and Omega, never

Failing in fidelity.
