Rapt in the heavenly vision be;
The shores of thought and feeling know
The Spirit's tidal ebb and flow.
2 Lord, it is good abiding here
We cry, the heavenly presence near;
The vision vanishes, our eyes
Are lifted into vacant skies!

Upon the soul redeeming power,
And in its strength through after days
We travel our appointed ways;
4 Till all the lowly vale grows bright,
Transfigured in remember light,
And in untiring souls we bear
The freshness of the upper air.
5 The mount for vision, but below
The paths of daily duty go,
And nobler life therein shall own
The pattern on the mountain shown. Languages: English Tune Title: LAUDS

And quells our rising fears.

Of life, shall guide our way,
Till we behold a clearer light
Of an eternal day. Languages: English Tune Title: KNOX

'Twas by an Order from the Lord

The Ancient Prophets spoke his Word;
His Spirit did their Tongues inspire,
And warm'd their Hearts with heav'nly Fire.
2 The Works and Wonders which they wrought
Confirm'd the Messages they brought;
The Prophet's Pen succeeds his Breath,
To save the holy Words from Death.
3 Great God, mine Eyes with Pleasure look
On the dear Volume of thy Book;
There my Redeemer's Face I see,
And read his Name who dy'd for me.
4 Let the false Raptures of the Mind
Be lost and vanish in the Wind;
Here I can fix my Hope secure;
This is thy Word, and must endure. Languages: English

The oracles of truth inspired;
And kings and holy seers of old
With strong prophetic impulse fir'd.

Their lips with heavenly science flow'd;
Their hands a thousand wonders wrought,
Which bore the signature of God.
3 With gladsome hearts they spread the news
Of pardon, through a Saviour's blood;
And to a num'rous seeking crowd
Mark'd out the path to his abode.
4 The pow'rs of earth and hell in vain
Against the sacred word combine;
Thy providence through ev'ry age
Securely guards the work divine.

Thee, its preserver, we adore;
And humbly ask a ray from thee,
Its hidden wonders to explore.
