Happy the men, whom strength divine
With ardent love and zeal inspires!
Whose steps to thy blest way incline,
With willing hearts and warm desires.
Still they pursue the painful road,
Increasing strength surmounts their fear
Till all at length, before their God,
In Zion’s glorious courts appear.
God is a sun; our brightest day
From his reviving presence flows;
God is a shield, through all the way,
To guard us from surrounding foes.
He pours his kindest blessings down,
Profusely down, on souls sincere;
And grace shall guide, and glory crown
The happy favourites of his care.
O Lord of hosts, thou God of grace!
How blest, divinely blest, is he,
Who trusts thy love and seeks thy face,
And fixes all his hopes on thee.
