Lo, clad in nature’s bright array,
The fields a beauteous scene display;
See how the golden ears of corn,
Wide-waving. all the hills adorn.
See earth with God’s rich goodness crown’d,
A joyful plenty smiles around :
But now to our admiring eyes,
Behold! superior prospects rise;
Rich harvests, where salvation grows,
Their fair celestial fruits disclose;
A paradise of earth is seen,
How pleasing, how divine the scene!
See, sinners hast’ning to embrace
The tidings of forgiving grace ;
Redeem'd from hell, with price divine,
In faith and holiness they shine.
All crown`d with immortality,
These fruits of righteousness shall be;
Then they that reap, and they that sow,
Shall everlasting triumphs know.
Together shall their songs arise,
In the fair fields of paradise;
And shouts of triumph and of joy,
Their blest eternity employ.
