The morning cloud and early dew
Bring our inconstancy to view.
So fickle and so
in forsake, to sin return.
Are hot, are cold, now freeze, now bum;
In deep distress, then raptures feel.
ir to heav’n, then sink to hell.
4 Witli flowing tears, Lord, we confess
Our folly andunstedfastness;
When shall these hearts more fixed be.
Fix’d by thy grace, and fix’d for thee ?
ST2.
Backslidings and Returns; or, the Inconstancy of ft
our Love.
1 "WHY is my heart so far from thee.
My God, my chief delight ?
Why are my thoughts no more by day
With thee, no more by night ?
2 When my forgetful soul renews
The savour of thy grace.
My heart presumes I cannot lose
The relish all my days.
3 But ere one fleeting hour is pass’d.
The flatt’ring world employs
Some sensual bait to seize my taste.
And to pollute my joys.
Where will those wild affections roll
That let a Saviour go !
