To us the joy­ful news is brought,
A pre­cious gift, O joy­ous life,
start
Loads ev­ery minute, as it flies,
Your God un­al­ter­ably true.
As where I meet with Thee.
And all things in Thy hand.
For sins of deep­est dye.
Ocean roll­ing in his pow­er;
No ali­en race, no for­eign shore,
Seeking each his se­pa­rate way,

un­sought

Of mer­cy rich and free;
O come to Me, the Sav­ior said—
Arise, and make us whole:
Lift up to God the voice of praise
The plen­te­ous grace I shall con­fer;
When slum­bers o’er me roll,
And turn my mourn­ing in­to praise.
Die in their voice­less grief?
All that charms the lone­ly thought—
O send us forth, Thy pro­phets true,
All our looks were earth­ward bent,
