Lyics

Happy the saints whose lot is cast

Where oft is heard the gospel sound;

The word is pleasant to their taste,

A healing balm for every wound.



With joy they hasten to the place

Where they their Saviour oft have met,

And while they feast upon his grace

Their burdens and their griefs forget.



This favored lot, my friends, is ours;

May we the privilege improve,

And find these consecrated hours

Sweet earnests of the joys above.
