A Supplication to the Supreme Being.
By a young Lad).
Y God ! the Father of mankind,
Whole bounty all things (hare,
Let me thy grace my portion find,
All else beneath my care.
I ask not titles, wealth or Rate,
Byjoylefs hearts poffeft ;
Yet (ball ! Bill be rich and great,
If virtue fill my breast.
Let fpotle's innocence,.and truth
• My ev'ry action guide.
And guard my unexperenc'd youth
From vanity and pride.
Let fervent charity remain
For ever in my breast ;
O let me feel another's pain,
In others joys be bleft.
Teach me to pardon and to love,
Whoe'er may widime ill ;
.Thps Jefes taught, who reigns above,
The fovtign of my will.
To. charity within my heart,
- Let fleady faith unite ; ~
Nhr let me from thy law depart
. Nor: let me, live by fight.
With patience.tortify my mind,
To bear each future ill ;
In life and death alike refign'd,
To thy unerring will.
And when thy wisdom fees it beff,
~ To fix my mortal day,
Let angels to eternal rest,
My trembling foul convey.
