IX.

Whatever is hid
   Shall burst on my sight
When hence I have fled
   To glorious light. 
Should chastisements lower,
   Then let me resign;
Should kindnesses shower,
   Let gratitude shine.

X.

Hence!  Sorrow and Fear! 
   Since Jesus is nigh,
I’ll dry up each tear,
   And stifle each sigh: 
And clothed in His word
   Will conquer my foes,
And follow my Lord
   Wherever He goes.

XI.

My friends! let us fly
   To Jesus our King;
And still as we hie,
   Of grace let us sing. 
Through pleasure and pain,
   If faithful we prove,
For cots we shall gain
   A palace above.

Finis.
