Lyics

'Twas by an order from 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.
