<p>How happy are the little flock,<br>
|
|
Who, safe beneath their guardian Rock,<br>
|
|
In all commotions rest!<br>
|
|
When war’s and tumult’s waves run high,<br>
|
|
Removed above the storm they lie,<br>
|
|
They lodge in Jesus’ breast,<br>
|
|
They lodge in Jesus’ breast.</p>
|
|
<p>Such happiness, O Lord, have we,<br>
|
|
By mercy gathered into Thee,<br>
|
|
Before the floods descend:<br>
|
|
And while the bursting clouds come down,<br>
|
|
We mark the vengeful day begun,<br>
|
|
And calmly wait the end,<br>
|
|
And calmly wait the end.</p>
|
|
<p>The plague, and dearth, and din of war,<br>
|
|
Our Savior’s swift approach declare,<br>
|
|
And bid our hearts arise;<br>
|
|
Earth’s basis shook confirms our hope;<br>
|
|
Its cities’ fall but lifts us up,<br>
|
|
To meet Thee in the skies,<br>
|
|
To meet Thee in the skies.</p>
|
|
<p>Thy tokens we with joy confess:<br>
|
|
The war proclaims the Prince of Peace,<br>
|
|
The earthquake speaks Thy power,<br>
|
|
The famine all Thy fullness brings,<br>
|
|
The plague presents Thy healing wings,<br>
|
|
And nature’s final hour,<br>
|
|
And nature’s final hour.</p>
|
|
<p>Whatever ills the world befall,<br>
|
|
A pledge of endless good we call,<br>
|
|
A sign of Jesus near;<br>
|
|
His chariot will not long delay,<br>
|
|
We hear the rumbling wheels, and pray,<br>
|
|
Triumphant Lord, appear!<br>
|
|
Triumphant Lord, appear!</p>
|
|
<p>Appear with clouds on Zion’s hill,<br>
|
|
Thy word and mystery to fulfill,<br>
|
|
Thy confessors to approve,<br>
|
|
Thy members on Thy throne to place,<br>
|
|
And stamp Thy name on every face,<br>
|
|
In glorious, heavenly love!<br>
|
|
In glorious, heavenly love!</p>
