Religion

After Divine Service

by James Montgomery 1771–1854

From Sacred Poems and Hymns (1854)

Religion

Again our ears have heard the voice,
At which the dead shall live;
O may the sound our hearts rejoice,
And strength immortal give.

And have we heard the word with joy?
And have we felt its power?
To keep it be our bless'd employ,
Till life's extremest hour.
