What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Since disappointment and despair
2
The vainness of all hopes declare
3
Since toss'd upon this restless main
4
I strive 'gainst wind and waves in vain
5
The more I struggle for the shore
6
Misfortunes overwhelm the more
7
Then since I struggle to maintain
8
And strive alas to live in vain
9
I'll hope no more -- Since prov'd and tried
10
The feeble light she once suplied
11
Resembled but a taper's ray
12
That only burns to die away
13
And leave one lost in endless night
14
(My follies but exposed to sight)
15
Then come misfortunes as you will
16
Oppressions sink we lower still
17
Haste keen despair and urge my doom
18
And all that haunt the wretched come
19
Fate from my heart all fears exprunge
20
I stand resolv'd to take the plunge
21
O thou great being who resides
22
Far above where you ether glides
23
Whose power almightly piercing eye
24
Marks all on earth in air and sky
25
Who oft (such care we ought to praise)
26
This sand-grain call'd a world surveys
27
Nor deems unworthy of thy care
28
Vain men as worthless as we are
29
Who oft with liberal hands bestows
30
Thy gliding mercy here below
31
And while our sins so multiply
32
Like mountains heap'd before thee lie
33
So loath -- so tempted to chastize
34
And then to bless us in disguise
35
To disappoint our restless schemes
36
Our airy hopes and foolish dreams
37
Is but to prove the empty shew
38
Of painted happiness below
39
O thou that hears the wretched call
40
Thou universal friend to all...
