Now that the Lord has open'd me

The evil with the good,

I am as one wise suddenly

Who never understood.

I see the shaping of my days

From the beginning,

When, a young child, I walkt the ways

And knew nought of sinning.

I see how Nature ripen'd me

Under sun and shower,

As she ripens herb and tree

To bud and to flower.

As she ripens herb and tree
