Religion

Meanest oi Jacob's race
y Jordatis stream I stand,
And lo! mine eye of faith surveys
The wide extended land!
A land of corn and wine
Our spirits to sustain,
And fill with vigorous life Divine
The gladden'd heart of man:

There the soft dew distils,
The soul-reviving bliss,
And Christ His pardoning grace reveals.
And whispers I am His,
Till God His Spirit pours,
His fulness from above,
In streams of righteousness, and showers
Of everlasting love.
