[His eyes are majesty and love, The eagle tempered with the dove; No more shall trickling sorrows roll Through those dear windows of his soul.]

[His mouth, that poured out long complaints, Now smiles, and cheers his fainting saints; His countenance more graceful is Than Lebanon, with all its trees.]
10 All over glorious is my Lord; Must be beloved, and yet adored; His worth if all the nations knew, Sure the whole world would love him too!

Christ Dwells in Heaven, but Visits on Earth. Song. 6. 1 1 When mourners stand and hear me tell What beauties in my Saviour dwell, Where he is gone they fain would know, That they may seek and love him too. 2
My best Beloved keeps his throne On hills of light, in worlds unknown; But he descends and shows his face In the young gardens of his grace.

[In vineyards, planted by his hand, Where fruitful trees in order stand, He feeds among the spicy beds, Where lilies show their spotless heads.]
