Ponder anew what the Almighty can do, if with his love he befriend thee. Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee surely his goodness and mercy here daily attend thee. Praise to the Lord, who over all things so wondrously reigneth, shelters thee under his wings, yea, so gently sustaineth!
