Lord to thee, each Night, and Day,	Lord to thee, each night, and day,
Strong in Hope, we ſing, and pray:	Strong in hope, we sing, and pray:
Tho’ convulſive rocks the Ground,	Though convulsive rocks the ground,
And thy Thunders roll around;	And thy thunders roll around;
Still to thee, each Night and Day,	Still to thee, each night and day,
Strong in Hope, we ſing, and pray.	Strong in hope, we sing, and pray.
