III. A Gracious GOD

1 My soul, arise in joyful lays,
Renounce this earthly clod,
Tuen all thy pow'rs to sweetest praise,
And sing, thy gracious God.

2 When in my heart his hev'nly love
He sweetly sheds abroad,
How joyfully he makes me prove
He is my gracious God.

3 When borne on faith's advent'rous wing
I mount to his abode,
Then, while I soar, I sweetly sing,
He is my gracious God.

4 In all my trials here below,
I'll humbly kiss his rod,
For this thro' grace I surely know,
He's still my graciousGod.

5 When in my last departing hour
I pass thro' death's cold flood,
Upheld by sov'reign love and pow'r,
I'll sing, my gracious God.

6 But when he shall my spirit bring
To heav'n my bless'd abode,
There to eternity I'll sing,
Thou art my gracious God.
