Lyics Twas by an order of the Lord
The ancient prophets spoke his word;
His spirit did their tongues inspire,
And warm their hearts with heavenly fire.
Great God! mine eyes with pleasure look
On the dear volume of thy book;
There my Redeemer's face I see,
And read his name, who died for me.
Let the false raptures of the mind
Be lost and vanish in the wind;
Here I can fix my hopes secure,
This is thy word, and must endure.
