Religion
Psalm 59:3: Thy favour and love I prefer
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Thy favour and love I prefer
To life in its happiest hours,
Possess'd of a paradise here
When mercy my spirit o'erpowers:
All earthly delights I forego.
All creature enjoyments resign,
When bless'd with the heaven, to know
My Jesus eternally mine.
