And Truly It Is a Most Glorious Thing

And tru­ly it is a most glo­ri­ous thing

Thus to hear men pray and God’s prais­es sing

O how great com­fort is it now to see—

The church­es to en­joy full li­ber­ty.

And to have the Gos­pel preach­èd here with pow­er

And such wolves re­pelled as all would else de­vour.

But God will still for His peo­ple pro­vide

Such as be able them to help and guide

If they cleave to Him and do not for­sake—

His laws and truth and their own ways do take.

If thou hast viewed the camp of Is­ra­el

How God in the wil­der­ness with them did dwell.

His great and mar­vel­ous works they here saw

And He them taught in His most ho­ly law

A small emb­lem here­of thou may­est see

How God hath dealt with them in some de­gree

For much of Him­self they now there have seen

And mar­vel­ous to them His works have been.
