                             Zove to the Saviour.
                1  'T'HOU lovely source of true delight,
                   1  Whom I unseen adore,
                  Unveil thy beauties to my sight,
                    That I may love thee more.
                2  Thy glory o’er creation shines,
                    But in thy sacred word
                  I  read in fairer, brighter lines,
                    My bleeding, dying Lord.
                3  Jesus, my Lord, my life, my light,
                    O come with blissful ray ;
                  Break radiant through the shades of night,
                    And chase my fears away.
                4  Then shall my soul with rapture trace
                    The wonders of thy love ;
                  But the full glories of thy face
                     Are only known above.
                 275                C. M.
                     A transporting view of the heavenly Canaan.
                 1  P|N Jordan’s stormy banks I stand,
                       And cast a wishful eye
                   To Canaan’s fair and happy land,
                     Where my possessions lie.
                 2  O the transporting, rapt’rous scene,
                     That rises to my sight !
                   Sweet fields arrayed in living green,
                     And nvers of delight.
                 3  There generous fruits that never fail,
                     On trees immortal grow ;
                   There rocks, and hills, and brooks, and vales,
                     With milk and honey flow.
