To the land of promise hies!

James Montgomery.

Still let me love the sacred page

Where truths from Heaven recorded lie;

And while I tread this mortal stage,

May I be taught to live and die.

Still let me bind it to my heart,

The richest jewel I can wear;

That when all other charms depart,

Its lustre still may sparkle there.
