THE PLEASANTNESS OF RELIGION.

2 The God that rules on high, That all the earth surveys, That rides upon the stormy sky, And calms the roaring seas; This awful God is ours, Our Father and our Love; He will send down his heavenly powers, To carry us above.

3 There we shall see his face, And never, never sin; 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 marching through Immanuel's ground, To fairer worlds on high.

HYMN 13.

7's.

APPY soul, that, free from harms, Rests within his Shepherd's arms!

HA

Who his quiet shall molest? Who shall violate his rest? Jesus doth his spirit bear: Jesus takes his every care: He who found the wandering sheep, Jesus, still delights to keep.
