"'TIS HE," she cried, raising her hands, "'TIS HE; But I never heard
his name before." The closing hymn fell with sweet acceptance upon her ear, and calmed, in some measure, the tumultuous rapture of her spirit:-- "Earth has engrossed my love too long! 'Tis time I lift mine eyes Upward, dear Father, to thy throne, And to my native skies. "There the blest Man, my Saviour sits; The God! how bright he shines! And scatters infinite delights On all the happy minds. *'Seraphs, with elevated strains, Circle the throne around; And move and charm the starry plains, With an immortal sound. "Jesus, the Lord, their harps employs; Jesus, my love, they sing! Jesus, the life of all our joys, Sounds sweet from every string. "Now let me mount and join their song, And be an angel too; My heart, my hand, my ear, my tongue, Here's joyful work for you. |
