The juxtaposition of prostration and adoration we have noted in other hymns
448 Imploring the Divine Presence
CLOUDS and darkness interposing,
Keep the Saviour from my sight,
Wonted joys and pleasures closing,
Lord, again restore the light:
Scatter thou the storms o’erspreading,
And thy lovely face reveal;
Oh regard my humble pleading,
Nor thy presence hence conceal.
2 Deign to shine with beams resplendent,
Fill my heart with sacred joy,
All my labouring thoughts employ:
I will then in low prostration,
At thy sacred footstool fall,
And in songs of adoration,
Own thee sovereign Lord of all.
