Hymns for Children, 97

The Judge of all shall soon come down,
Bright on His everlasting throne,
Summon the nations to His bar.
And I shall take my trial there.
Jesus, be now my friend with God,
And wash me in Thy precious blood;
That at Thy last appearance I
May shouting meet Thee in the sky.
HYMN XCVni.
Happy beyond description he
Who in the paths of piety
Loves from his birth to run:
Its ways are ways of pleasantness.
And all its paths are joy and peace.
And heaven on earth begun.

If this felicity were mine,
I every other would resign
With just and holy scorn;
Cheerful and blithe my way pursue,
And with the promised land in view
Singing to God return.
