ADORATION AND PRAISE-
6 The Lamb shall lead his heavenly flock
Where living fountains rise ;
And love divine shall wipe away
All sorrows from their eyes,
313 C. M.
Meditation of heaven.
1 /\A Y thoughts surmount these lower skies,
t ’ 1 And look within the veil;
There, springs of endless pleasure rise,
The waters never fail,
2 There I behold with sweet delight,
The blessed Three in One,
And strong affections fix my sight
On God’s incarnate Son.
3 His promise stands forever firm,
His.grace shall ne’er depart;
He binds my name upon his arm,
And seals it on his lieart.
4 Light are the pains that nature brings ;
How short our sorrows are,
When with eternal, future things,
The present we compare.
5 I would not be a stranger still
To that celestial place,
Where I forever hope to dwell,
Near my Redeemer’s face.
314 C. M.
Gratitude to God for his gifts.
1 /\A Y Father, God !—and may these lips
1 ’ * Pronounce a name so dear ?
Nor thus could heaven’s sweet harmony
Delight my listening ear.
