Lyics

What though no flow'rs the figtree clothe,

Though vines their fruit deny,

The labor of the olive fail,

And fields no food supply:



Though from the fold, with sad surprize,

My flocks cut off I see;

Though famine pine in empty stalls,

Where herds were wont to be:



Yet in the Lord will I be glad,

And glory in his love;

In him, I'll joy, who will the God

Of my salvation prove.



God is the treasure of my soul,

The source of lasting joy.

A joy which want shall not impair,

Nor death itself destroy.
