CXXXVII. Asking the Way to Zion, in order to joining in Covenant with GOD.
From Hymns founded on various Texts in the Holy Scriptures (1755)
ENQUIRE, ye Pilgrims, for the Way,
That leads to Zion's Hill,
And thither set your steady Face
With a determin'd Will.
Invite the Strangers all around
Your pious March to join;
And spread the Sentiments you feel
Of Faith and Love divine.
Come, let us to his Temple haste,
And seek his Favour there,
Before his Footstool humbly bow,
And pour our servent Pray'r.
Come, let us join our Souls to GOD
In everlasting Bands,
And seize the Blessings he bestows
With eager Hearts and Hands.
Come, let us seal without Delay
The Cov'nant of his Grace;
Nor shall the Years of distant Life
Its Memory efface.
Thus may our rising Offspring haste
To seek their Fathers GOD,
Nor e'er forsake the happy Path
Their youthful Feet have trod.
