'T was by an order from the LordThe ancient prophets spoke his word;His Spirit did their tongues inspire,And warm their hearts with heavenly fire.
2
Great God! mine eyes with pleasure lookOn the dear volume of thy book;There my Redeemer's face I see,And read his name who died for me.
3
Let the false raptures of the mindBe lost and vanish in the wind;Here I can fix my hope secure;This is thy word—and must endure.
