Where is the blessedness ye spake of.
Gal. 4:15.
O where is now that glowing love
That marked our union with the Lord?
Our hearts were fixed on things above.
Nor could the world a joy afford.
2 Where is the zeal that led us then
To make our Saviour’s glory known;
That freed us from the fear of men,
And kept our eyes on him alone?
3 Where are the happy seasons spent
In fellowship with him we loved?
The sacred joy, the sweet content,
The blessédness that then we proved?
4 Behold, again we turn to thee,
O cast us not away, though vile!
No peace we have, no joy we see,
O Lord, our God, but in thy smile.
Kelly.
