The counsels of redeeming graceThe sacred leaves unfold;And here the Savior's lovely faceOur raptured eyes behold.

2

Here light, descending from above,Directs our doubtful feet;Here promises of heavenly loveOur ardent wishes meet.

3

Our numerous gifts are here redrest,And all our wants supplied;Nought we can ask to make us blest,Is in this book denied.

4

For these inestimable gains,That so enrich the mind,O may we search with eager pains,Assured that we shall find.
