Who wrap their words in soft­est love,
May we but share Thy crown.
And to the re­fuge flee.
Give us the joys of Heav’n to know,
Then lift your heads, ye saints on high,
Keep the faith of Je­sus,
Loyal to Thy ho­ly will.
And grasp the spe­cious ill:
To va­ni­ties of time and sense,
The soul finds hap­pi­ness in none;
Heed the Guest that’s knock­ing, let the Mas­ter in.
Yea, blest is he who makes God’s law
It does not de­ceive us;
Oh! let us in His foo­tsteps haste,
I’ll trust in Thee each day, and hour,
Blest is he who makes the sta­tutes
May sin­ners fall be­fore the Word,
