Deuteronomy 33:29: Happy art thou, O Israel, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Israel, exult to prove
How dear to God thou art,
Object of His peculiar love
Who made thee pure in heart;
Feel all thy happiness,
When Christ is form'd in thee,
Consummate joy, and perfect peace,
And spotless charity:
Saved to the utmost here,
When Christ is fully thine.
And meet before thy God to' appear,
In righteousness Divine,
Clothed with that heavenly Sun,
Behold His brightest blaze,
Go put thy robes of glory on.
And see Him face to face.
