With radiant glory crown'd,
Our joyful eyes behold Him sit,
And smile on all around.

All humbled souls present:
He listens to the broken sighs,
And grants them all they want.

5. To them his sovereign will

He graciously imparts;

And in return accepts with smiles,

The tribute of their hearts.

6. Give me, O Lord, a place

Within thy blest abode,

Among the children of thy grace,
The servants of my God.

That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found!

4. How blessed are our eyes,

That see this heavenly light!
Prophets and kings desired it long,
But died without the sight.

6. The Lord makes bare his arm
Through all the earth abroad:
Let every nation now behold
Their Saviour and their God.

And feasts his saints to-day;
Here we may sit, and see Him here,
And love and praise and pray.

Where my dear God hath been,
Is sweeter than ten thousand days
Of pleasurable sin.

In such a frame as this,
And sit and sing herself away
To everlasting bliss.

[Ps. 55, P. 2.

(Stanza 6 omitted.)

ET sinners take their course,
And choose the road to death;
But in the worship of my God
I'll spend my daily breath.
2. My thoughts address his throne,
When morning brings the light;
I seek his blessing every noon,
And pay my vows at night.
3. Thou wilt regard my cries,
O my eternal God!
While sinners perish in surprise
Beneath thine angry rod.

4. Because they dwell at ease,
And no sad changes feel,

They neither fear, nor trust thy name,
Nor learn to do thy will.

5. But I, with all my cares,

Will lean upon the Lord;

I'll cast my burden on his arm,
And rest upon his word.
