LyicsReligion! soul reviving sound!
Makes drooping hearts rejoice;
Where shall the happy man be found
Who makes it all his choice?
Religion! O how oft abused
By ignorance and pride,
Its sweet inviting voice refused,
And trampled on, beside!
Religion! O the heav'nly power,
When in the heart it reigns!
The living and the dying hour
It comforts and sustains.
Religion smooths life's rugged way,
And makes the bitter sweet,
And will, in heaven's eternal day,
Be glorious and complete.
Let worldlings boast their golden store,
And mighty men their powers;
We ask such empty joys no more:
Be true religion ours.
