 Sweet ai; sight to the blind. 
 Or freetlom to the slave. 
 Such joy in thee I find. 
 Safe from the grave. 
 Still I'm of thee (Kissessed, 
 
 Such is kind Heaven's decree, 
 That hath thy parents blessed 
 In blessing thee.

 Theme sublime of endless praise, 
 
 Just and righteous are Thy ways; 
 
 And Thy mercies still endure, 
 
 Ever faithful, ever sure.
