by Unknown

I come, I come, with shame and grief opprest,

Thy feet embrace, and shelter in thy breast.

A Saviour’s light shall break,

A ray from Jacob’s star the darkness streak:

To Him the fairest scenes their lustre owe;

His covenant brightens the celestial bow;

His vast benevolence profusely spreads

The yellow harvests, and the verdant meads.
