      Sing , Christian , sing ! for you alone Possess the immortal powers of . song ; The God who form'd you for his own , Inspires your heart , inspires your tongue : What though your pil g rim journey lies

      O ' er desert mountains , rude and wild , The song of love which charms the skies , Has many a pilgrim ' s toil beguil'd . Then , Christian , sing ! for soon the shade , The dreary shade which wraps the dead , Shall on your bosom , lowly laid ,

      Shall on your silent lips be spread : While pity moves the heaving breast , While yet the tender tear can flow , Oh , sing the love that offers rest To man , the child of guilt and woe . Sing ! for these humble strains must cease , Lost in unutterable bliss , When , freed from sorrow , face to face , * You see the Saviour as he is :

      When life , immortal life , is won , The song of hope no more can rise ; She breathes her last , her sweetest tone Before the dawn of Paradise . The voice of Faith and Hope must die ; And not to mortal ears are given The lofty hymns of victory ,

      Unknown but to the sons of heaven : Yet have our pilgrim-lays the theme Which crowns their song of joy above ; In heaven and earth the Saviour ' s name Unites the eternal song of love .

      ( Genesis v . 22 aud 24 . ) He walk'd with God While life and length of years were giv ' n ; And when no more this chequer'd scene he trod , His spirit rose to Heav'n ! Lord , may I be Thus guided by thy hand divine ! And , from this earthly prison-house set free , In Heav ' n oe thine ! Brighton .
