LXIX. Singing in the Ways of GOD.

NOW let our Voices join,
To form one pleasant Song:
Ye Pilgrims in Jehovah's Ways,
With Musick pass along.

How streight the Path appears,
How open, and how fair!
No lurking Gins t'entrap our Feet;
No fierce Destroyer there:

But Flow'rs of Paradise
In rich Profusion spring;
The Sun of Glory gilds the Path,
And dear Companions sing.

See Salem's golden Spires
In beauteous Prospect rise;
And brighter Crowns than Mortals wear,
Which sparkle thro' the Skies.

All Honour to his Name,
Who drew the shining Trace;
To him, who leads the Wand'rers on,
And chears them with his Grace.

Reduce the Nations, LORD,
Teach all their Kings thy Ways,
That Earth's full Choir the Notes may swell,
And Heav'n resound the Praise.
