There, from the rivers of his grace, Drink endless pleasures in : * Yea, and before we rise To that immortal state, The thoughts of such amazing bliss Should constant joys create. 4 The men of grace have found Glory begun below : Celestial fruit on earthly ground From faith and hope may grow : Then let our songs abound, And every tear be dry: We're inarching through Immanuel's ground To fairer worlds on high.

Jesus, seek thy wandering sheep ; Bring me back, and lead, and keep ; Take on thee my every care ; Bear me, on thy bosom bear : Let me know my Shepherd's voice, More and more in thee rejoice ; More and more of thee receive ; Ever in thy Spirit live : Live, till all thy life I know, Perfect, through my Lord, below : Gladly then from earth remove, Gather'd to the fold above : O that I at last may stand With the sheep at thy right hand ; Take the crown so freely given, Enter in by thee to heaven !
