REJOICING.
     4  My soul would leave this heavy clay
         At that transporting word,
       Run up with joy the shining way,
         T’ embrace my dearest Lord.
     5  Fearless of hell and ghastly death,
         I’d break through every foe;
       The wings of love, and arms of faith,
         Should bear me conqueror through.
     269               S. M.
                Rejoicing in ways of God,
     1  MOW let our voices join
       i To form a sacred song;
       Ye pilgrim’s in Jehovah’s ways,
         With music pass along.
     2  Sweet flowers of Paradise
         In rich profusion spring,
       The sun of glory gilds the path,
         And dear companions sing.
     3  See Salem’s golden spires
         In beauteous prospect rise,
       And brighter crowns than mortals wear,
         Which sparkle through the skies.
     4  All honor to his name
         Who marks the shining way,
       To him who leads the wanderers on
         To realms of endless day.
     270               L. M
               Rejoicing in hope of glory.
     1 MAY I worthy prove to see
       V' The saints in full prosperity ;
                       213
