Page 114 Flows the word in milky rills, Honey from the rock distils; Fountains pure of life arise, Flowers, and trees of paradise; And heavenly joys on earth I prove: Heaven on earth is Jesu's love! "His eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated." Deut. xxxiv. 7. Moses, when dead, himself survives, He always in his precepts lives; Tho' sinners dream his office o'er, He loses nothing of his power, His sight is as the eagle's strong, And Sinai thunders in his tongue. Think not the law thro' faith made void, Its vigour cannot be destroy'd: It marks our hearts with quickest eye, And doth our smallest faults espy, It seizes with almighty hands, And holds us in eternal bands. It holds us, when by grace set free From curse, and fear, and penalty; The easy yoke of Christ we prove, Bound to obey the God we love; And when these heavens are past away, We still shall glory to obey. Page 115 Hymn 354. "Arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them." Joshua i. 2. Moses might lead to Jordan's tide, But there surrenders his command; Our Joshua must the waves divide, Bring us into the promis'd land: Train'd by the law, we see our place, We gain th' inheritance by grace. "Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that I have given unto you." Joshua i. 3. The land of uprightness I set my foot upon, By faith I touch it, Lord, and seize, And take it for my own! "I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee." Joshua i. 5. The promise to myself I take, Me, me thou never wilt forsake Who on thy Son depend: Thy faith is plighted to my Lord, And safe I hang upon the word Of mine eternal friend. "Be thou strong and very courageous: that thou mayst observe to do according to all the law." Joshua i. 7. By faith I on his strength lay hold, And walk in Christ my way, Divinely confident, and bold His perfect law t' obey;
