Hymn Context Compare
Thy dear Son may make us
Who sick or wrapped in slum­ber lies;
Guard me in Thine affection;
Nor secret foe the heart pos­sess;
Pardoned sin­ners ren­der
May they be, like Jo­seph, lov­ing,
Full soon a com­pe­tence pre­pare.
To pur­est joys she all in­vites,
Thee will I love, till the pure fire
For God to gain His army, priesthood, and dwelling place,
As Is­aac and Re­bec­ca give
We as virgins may enjoy Him,
What Him to such a lot has led?
The maid­en pure sus­tains:
Is Christ our fragrance and our taste,
Whom He had made might live afresh.
His are we; may He keep us
What flesh ab­hor­reth—bear.
Thee let our tune­ful voic­es name,
Our mind be in His keep­ing placed

chaste

So, as now we jour­ney
And watch: My com­ing is at hand.
None beside Thee in heaven,
A ho­ly tem­ple meet for Thee.
In pure paths di­rect us;
And their faith, like Da­vid, prov­ing,
Is left to man be­low the skies;
Her ways are ways of plea­sant­ness,
Ah, why did I so late Thee know,
Make us the same as You, Lord, truly righteous and holy,
So may this new-met cou­ple live
Going forth to meet the Bridegroom,
Who takes be­fore such crib di­rect­ion,
The tem­ple for her God;
The Christian life, a grafted life,
Celestial grace hath found its home:
He, God in Man, has car­ried
Our swell­ing souls bring low,
Thee so­ber rea­son own as king.
Where on­ly faith her fire shall feed,
