CVIII. Ye humble souls complain no more

1 Ye humble souls complain no more,
Let faith survey your future store,
How happy, how divinely blest,
The sacred words of truth attest.

2 When conscious grief laments sincere,
And pours the penitential tear;
Hope points to your dejected eyes
A bright reversion in the skies:

3 A kingdom of immense delight,
Where health, and peace, and joy unite,
Where undeclining pleasures rise,
And every wish hath full supplies:

4 A kingdom which can ne'er decay,
Tho' time sweeps earthly thrones away;
The state, which power and truth sustain,
Unmov'd for ever must remain.

5 Great God, to thee we breathe our prayer;
If thou confirm our interest there,
Enroll'd among thy happy poor,
Our largest wishes ask no more.
