Oh! blessed freedom! nought can then control
The heavenward flight and rapture of the soul.
Will You be a Pilgrim?
Will you come in with the pilgrims, though a remnant they may be,
And know the blessed privilege of gospel liberty?
Will you take the name of Christ, and be redeemed by sovereign grace,
And find in him from every storm a sure, safe hiding-place?
Will you part with earth’s delusive joys, with all its vain delights,
And “bear the consecrated cross,” to have the Christian’s rights?
They have a right to call on God; and he’s vouchsafed his aid.
