IX. Teach me, I pray thee, that Celestial Skill, My Days to number, as thy Saints have done; Let me still yield unto thy blessed Will, And wait upon thee till my Glass be run: So shall my Raptured Tongue thy praise proclaim And sing Hosanna's to thy Glorious Name.

X. O regulate my Tongue, and make me see, How few my days are, and how short their length, Let all my Trust be still reposed in thee; Relax thy scourge, or add unto my strength: ⟨p. 119⟩Be thou my way, my strength, my light that I May learn to live, and in thy favour die.
