Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood

Stand drest in living green : So to the Jews old Canaan stood,

While Jordan roli'd between. But tim'roLis mortals start and shrink.

To cross this narrow sea ; And linger, shiv'ring on the brink,

And fear to luuj>ch away.

III.

Oh, could we make our doubts remove,

Those gloomy doubts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love,

With unbcclouded eyes ! — Could we but climb where Moses stood,

And view the landscape o'er — Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood,

Should frieht us from the shore.

And glows in ev'ry vital part ; Lights up my soul with livelier flame,

And feeds with life my beating heart. To thee, from whom my being came,

To thee ray grateful strains shall flow.

And lo ! stern winter flies ; And, drest in beauty's fairest bloom,

The flow'ry tribes arise.

III.

Hope looks beyond the bounds of time.

When what we now deplore. Shall rise in full immortal prime,

And bloom to fade no more. Then cease, fond nature ! dry thy tears ;

Religion points on high : There everlasting spring appears.

And joys, which cannot die.

The shepherds on the la\vn,

Before the point of dawn, In social circle sat, while all around

The gentle fleecy brood

Or cropp'd the flow'ry food, Or slept, or sported on the verdant ground.

III.

When lo ! with ravish'd ears,

Each swain delighted hears Sweet musick, offspring of no mortal hand ;

Divinely warbled voice,

Answ'ring the stringed noise. With blissful rapture charm'd the list'ning band.

IV.

They saw a glorious light

Burst on their wond'ring sight, Harping in solemn quire, in robes array'd,

The helmed cherubim

And sworded seraphim Are seen in glitt'ring ranks with wings dis- play'd.

V.

Sounds of so sweet a tone

Before were never known, But when of old the sons of morning sung,

While God dispos'd in air

Each constellation lair. And the well-balanc'd world on hinges hung.

VI.

Hail, hail, auspicious morn !

The Saviour Christ is bom : (Such was th' immortal seraph's song sublime !)

Glory to God in heav'n !

To man sweet peace be giv'n. Sweet peace and Iriendship to the end of time !

The sun himself, with gath'ring clouds opprest. Shall in his silent, dark pavillion rest ; His golden urn shall break, and useless lie Amidst the common ruins of the sky : The stars rush headlong in the wild commotion, And bathe their glitt'ring foreheads in the ocean.

But fix'd, O God ! for ever stands thy throne :

Jehovah reigns, a universe alone :

Th' eternal fire, that feeds each vital flame.

Collected, or diffus'd, is still the same.

He dwells within his own unfathom'd essence,

And fills all space with his unbounded presence.

IV.

But oh ! our highest notes the theme debase, And silence is our least injurious praise : Cease, cease your songs, the daring flight con- trol: Revere him in the stillness of the soul : With silent duty meekly bend before him. And deep within your inmost hearts adore him.

In vain their gloom display ; For he who bids yon comet burn, Or makes the night descend, can turn

Their darkness into day.

No horrour v^Tests the struggling sighs,

And can I trifle life away ? To earth, alas ! too firmly bound. Trees deeply rooted in the ground

Are shiver'd when they 're torn away.

Yet, dumb with wonder, I behold Man's thoughtless race, in errour bold,

Forget or scorn the la\vs of deadi ; With these no projects couicide. Nor vows, nor toils, nor hopes they guide

Each thmks he draws immortal breath.

Great eause of all, above, below I Who knows thee, must forever know

That thou 'rt immortal and divine : Thine image on my soul imprest. Of endless being is the test,

And bids eternity be mine.

11. III.

When heav'n, thy beauteous work on high, What's mortal man, that, Lord, thou lov'st

Employs my wond'ring sight ; To keep him in thy mind ?

The moon, that nightly rules the sky, Or what his offspring, that thou prov'st

With stars of feebler light : To them so wondrous kind ?

In heav'n above thy will is done, There, angels wait around thy throne,

Thy counsels to obey ; Adoring at thy feet they fall, Confess thee sov'reign Lord of all,

And own thy pow'rful sway.

III.

Lord, may we join the heav'nly throng, May mortals learn th' angelick song.

Who dwell beneath the sun : May ev'ry tongue thy praise proclaim, This be the universal theme,

" Jehovah's will be done.

In ev'ry creature, Lord, I own thy pow'r ; In each event, thy providence adore : Thy promises shall cheer my drooping soul, Thy precepts guide me, and thy fear control.

Then, when at last I quit this transient scene. Help me to leave it with a heart serene : Teach me to fix my ardent hopes on high, And having liv'd to thee, in thee to die.
