Which knew no birth, and never shall expire ! Electing Goodness, firm and free, My whole salvation hangs on thee, Eldest and fairest daughter of Eternity ! Redemption, grace, and glory too, Our bliss above, and hopes below, From her, their parent-fountain, flow. Ah ! tell me, Lord, that Thou hast chosen me ! Thou, who hast kindled my intense desire, Fulfil the wish Thy influence did inspire,
And let me my election know ! Then, when Thy summons bids me come up higher, Well pleased I shall from life retire, And join the burning hosts, beheld at distance now. Augustus Montague To ft lady. 1759—1774. |
