In grateful songs your voices raise;

we come,
Returning sinners, to a Fathers

Of My love I will uprear.

Thine;
Sin, with its follies, I gladly

hours
When Jesus no longer I see!
Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and
sweet flowers

dim;
The fields strive in vain to look
gay;
But when I am happy in Him,
Decembers as pleasant as May.

perfume,
And sweeter than music His voice;
His presence disperses my gloom,

Have nothing to wish or to fear;
No mortal so happy as I,
My summer would last all the year.

My all to His pleasure resigned,
No changes of season or place
Would make any change in my
mind.

A palace a toy would appear;
And prisons would palaces
prove,
If Jesus would dwell with me
there.

If Thou art my sun and my song,
Say, why do I languish and pine?
And why are my winters so long?

Where winter and clouds are no
more.

O, then to the Rock let me fly, let
me fly
To the Rock that is higher than I;
me fly
To the Rock that is higher than I.

day,
And sometimes how heavy my
feet;
But toiling in lifes dusty way,
The Rocks blessed shadow, how
sweet!

O near to the Rock let me keep,

Or blessings or sorrows prevail;
Or climbing the mountain way
steep,
Or walking the shadowy vale.

There rolls the deep and
unknown stream
That leads at last to light.

Nor let me stand, at last, alone
Upon the shore of death.

Safe in the Rock of Ages hide us
Till we gain our final rest.

shield,
Who boldly braved the worlds
cold frown,
And fought, unyielding, on the

oppressed by foes,
No murmur from his heart
arose;

behind
The cherished friends of early
years,
And honour, pleasure, wealth
resigned,
To tread the path bedewed with
tears.

Through trials deep and

conflicts sore,
Yet still a smile of joy he
wore;
I asked what buoyed his
spirits up,
O, this! said he the

While pilgrims here we journey on

In this dark vale of sin and gloom,
Through tribulation, hate, and
scorn,
Or through the portals of the

To take His exile captives home,
O! what can buoy the spirits up?
