- God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform; He plants his footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm.
- Misery still delights to trace Its semblance in another's case.
- Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face.
- Misses! the tale that I relate This lesson seems to carry - Choose not alone a proper mate, But proper time to marry.
- Deep in unfathomable mines Of never failing skill, He treasures up his bright designs, And works his sovereign will.
