Her chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, and dark is her path on the wings of the storm. 3 Your bountiful care, what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light, it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, in you do we trust, nor find you to fail; your mercies how tender, how firm to the end, our Maker, Defender, Redeemer and Friend!

It gives us that for which to pray, a field for toil and faith and hope. 5 Since what we choose is what we are, and what we love we yet shall be, the goal may ever shine afar, the will to win it makes us free.
