Jehovah hath said, 'tis left on record,
“The righteous are one with Jesus the Lord;”
At all times he loves them, 'twas for them he died,
Yet oft times he proves them, for grace must be tried.
Temptations and sins in legions shall rise,
As goads in thy side or thorns in thine eyes;
And oft to thy sorrow his face he will hide,
For God hath determined thy grace shall be tried.
With him on the mount, to-day thou shalt be
Indulged by thy Lord, his glory to see;
There he may caress thee, and call thee his bride;
Yet grace, though he bless thee, shall surely be tried.
As gold from the flame, he'll bring thee at last,
To praise him for all through which thou hast past;
Then love everlasting thy griefs shall repay,
And God, from thine eyes, wipe all sorrows away.
