LyicsFAR from mortal cares retreating,
Sordid hopes and vain desires,
Here his saints securely meeting,
Every heart to heaven aspires;
From the fount of glory streaming
Life eternal through us rolls;
Mercy from his presence beaming
Peace and pardon on our souls.
Who may share this great salvation?
Every pure, and humble mind-
Every kindred, tongue, and nation,
From the guilt of sin refin'd;
Blessings all around bestowing,
God withholds his care from none;
Grace and mercy ever flowing
From the fountain of his throne.
