Hymns for Children, 29
From Hymns for Children (1763) · Osborn ed., vol. 6 (1870)
Rejoice in the Lord, Rejoice evermore!
Who gave us the word, Shall give us the power:
His grace is a treasure, Which when we obtain,
Obedience is pleasure, And duty is gain.
The pleasure and gain Of them that believe.
The reason of man Can never conceive:
Too big for expression The comfort and peace,
Tis present possession Of heavenly bliss.
Who share it above. They never can lose
His heavenly love. Or forfeit, like us,
Immanuel's favour; And therefore they rest
Wrapp'd up in their Saviour, And perfectly bless'd.
