HYMN XCVIII.
[Happy beyond description he]
Happy beyond description he
Who in the paths of piety
Loves from his birth to run:
Its ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all its paths are joy and peace,
And heaven on earth begun.
Who in the paths of piety

Its ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all its paths are joy and peace,
And heaven on earth begun.

If this felicity were mine,
I every other would resign
With just and holy scorn;
Cheerful and blithe my way pursue,
And with the promised land in view
Singing to God return.
