LII | Appendix, Containing a Number of Hymns Taken Chiefly from Dr. Watts's Scriptural Collection#LIII | LIV |
1 Nor Eye has seen, nor Ear has heard,
nor Sense nor Reason known,
What Joys the Father hath prepar'd
for those that love the Son.
2 But the good Spirit of the Lord
reveals a Heav'n to come:
The Beams of Glory in his Word
allure and guide us home.
3 Pure are the Joys above the Sky,
and all the Region Peace;
No wanton Lips nor envious Eye
can see or taste the Bliss.
4 Those holy Gates for ever bar,
Pollution, Sin, and Shame;
None Shall obtain Admittance there,
but Foll'wers of the Lamb.
5 He keeps the Father's Book of Life,
there all their Names are found;
The Hypocrite in vain shall strive
To tread the heav'nly Ground.
