Hymn of a Spirit shrouded

Ellen Sturgis Hooper (1812–1848)

O GOD, who, in thy dear still heaven,

Dost sit, and wait to see

The errors, sufferings, and crimes

Of our humanity,

How deep must be thy causal love!

How whole thy final care!

Since Thou, who rulest over all,

Canst see, and yet canst bear.
