EN 4667 Lord, How Secure and Blest Are They

Rom.4.7

Versi Version 1

1

Lord, how secure and blest are they

Who feel the joys of pardoned sin!

Should storms of wrath shake earth and sea,

Their minds have Heav’n and peace within.

2

The day glides sweetly o’er their heads,

Made up of innocence and love;

And soft and silent as the shades

Their nightly minutes gently move.

3

Quick as their thoughts their joys come on,

But fly not half so swift away;

Their souls are ever bright as noon,

And calm as summer evenings be.

4

How oft they look to th’ heav’nly hills,

Where groves of living pleasure grow!

And longing hopes and cheerful smiles

Sit undisturbed upon their brow.

5

They scorn to seek our golden toys,

But spend the day and share the night

In numbering o’er the richer joys

That Heav’n prepares for their delight.

6

While wretched we, like worms and moles,

Lie grov’ling in the dust below,

Almighty grace, renew our souls,

And we’ll aspire to glory, too.
