EBENEZER, or GOD'S helping Hand review'd and acknowledged. 1 Sam. vii. 12

by (1773–1832)

Listen in the reader

My helper GOD! I bless his Name: The same his Power, his Grace the same. The Tokens of his friendly Care Open, and crown, and close the Year.

I 'midst ten thousand Dangers stand, Supported by his guardian Hand; And see, when I survey my Ways, Ten thousand Monuments of Praise.

Thus far his Arm has led me on; Thus far I make his Mercy known; And, while I tread this desart Land, New Mercies shall new Songs demand.

My greateful Soul, on Jerdan's Shore, Shall raise one sacred Pillar more: Then bear, in his bright Courts above, Inscriptions of immortal Love.
