THE LATTER PART OF HABBAKUK , CHAPTER III . BY THE SAME . THO' in Judea's mead the verdant blade Nipt by ungenial frost full sudden fade ; Tho' the ripe fig , pride of the garden gay , Touch'd by the sun's too fervid beam decay ; Tho' fairer vines the raging whirlwind blast , And olives useless on the heap are cast ; Tho' struck by Death the bleating firstlings fall , Vacant the fold , untenanted the stall ; Yet still to Thee , Jehovah ! Power supreme ! My guide , my only hope , and constant theme ! I lisp the feeble strain , and bow the knee , And own incessant Strength belongs to Thee ! O let thy Love with rapture fill my breast , And lead thro' life's untrodden wilds — to Rest .
