230 But give us still to find thee near, And own us still for thine.

8 Let us enjoy and highly prize These tokens of thy love Till thou shalt bid our spirits rise To worship thee above.

1 HAPPY are they to whom the Lord His gracious name makes known, And by his Spirit and his word Adopts them for his own !

2 He calls them to his mercy-seat, And hears their humble pray r ; And when within his house they meet, They find his presence near.

3 The force of their united cries No power can long withstand ; For Jesus helps them from the skies By his almighty hand.

4 Then mountains sink at once to plains, And light from darkness springs, Each seeming loss improves their gains. Each trouble comfort brings.

5 Though men despise them, or revile, They count the trial small ; Whoever frowns, if Jesus smile, It makes amends for all.

6 Though meanly clad, and coarsely fed, And, like their Saviour, poor, They would not change their gospel-bread For all the worldling s store.

7 When cheer d with faith s sublimer joys, They mount on eagles wings ; They can disdain, as children s toys, The pride and pomp of kings.
