THOUGHTS ON JOB, XIX. 25.

I

I know that my Redeemer lives,”
He lives who died for me;
And when His voice the dead revives,
I shall His glory see.

II

I shall before His presence stand,
And, 'ray'd robes divine,
Be found a star at His right hand,
And as a star shall shine.

III

I shall in righteousness behold
The beauties of His face;
And, with the cloud of saints of old,
Adore His sov'reign grace.

IV

I shall, tho' worms this flesh consume,
To purer mansions rise;
And, mounting from the narrow tomb,
Explore the unbounded skies.

V

I shall of Him who died for me
Be made a Priest and King;
And then, thro' all eternity,
The King of Glory sing!
