en­joy

...Now is set up­on a hill.

And with rap­ture hail the sight....

...I la­bor and wait, for I know His re­ward

I’ve heard of a ci­ty where stands the great throne,...

...All that they wished or hoped be­low,

end...

...From the Gos­pel, now sup­ply Thy peo­ple’s need.

Which Thy Word’s de­signed to give;...

...When this life is o’er,

Of that heav’n­ly shore....

...They are jus­ti­fied by grace,

All their sins are washed away,...

...Kept by Him, no foes an­noy;

Here, be­neath a peace­ful sway,...

...Type of that ev­er­last­ing rest

Then let us in His name sing on,...

...Its pure de­light pos­sess­ing,

And God’s eter­nal bless­ing....

...In the Rock of Ag­es rest­ing,

Where the grace of God for­ev­er...

...Thou watch­est ev­ery­thing;

The lit­tle birds that sing....

...The earth be­longs to the Lord,

A strong foun­da­tion was laid,...

...The earth be­longs to the Lord,

A strong foun­da­tion was laid,...

...The feet of my Lord and king!

And on­ly His love to sing!...

...And min­gle with our dust.

And fond­ly call our own,...

...Come hast­en away, and en­ter the fold.

The par­don and love, the mer­cy and grace;...

...Then with what bliss­ful plea­sure

end...

...In the homes where we meet,

Then the good­byes of earth...

...Come hast­en away, and en­ter the fold.

The par­don and love, the mer­cy and grace;...

...The strong birds tire, and glad­ly seek their nest:

What strength has he who nev­er takes his rest?...
