A lover of all his dear saints. 2 Through various scenes of distress, Perplexèd with sin, guilt, and fear; This glorious message of grace Has frequently yielded good cheer. Dear Lord, may we prize the rich peace, The peace so abundantly given; It flows through the word of thy grace, And makes us anticipate heaven.

And scatters infinite delights On all the happy minds. 4 Seraphs with elevated strains Circle the throne around, And move and charm the starry plains With an immortal sound. 5 JESUS the Lord their harps employs, JESUS my love they sing. JESUS the name of both our joys Sounds sweet from every string. Text Sources: Lyric Poems
