My warmest thoughts engage.

And keep thy laws in sight,
While through the promises I rove,
With ever fresh delight.

Where springs of life arise;
Seeds of immortal bliss are sown,
And hidden glory lies.

And our eternal rest.

And lasting as the mind.

Invite the longing taste.

Spreads heavenly peace around;
And life and everlasting joys
Attend the blissful sound.

Oh, may these heavenly pages be
My ever dear delight;
And still new beauties may I see
And still increasing light.
