PSALM 90. v. 13, &c. Third Part. (C. M.) Breathing after Heaven.
I
Return, O God of love, return;Earth is a tiresome place:
How long shall we thy children mourn
Our absence from thy face?
II
Let heaven succeed our painful years,Let sin and sorrow csase,
And in proportion to our tears
So make our joys increase.
III
Thy wonders to thy servants show,Make thy own work complete,
Then shall our souls thy glory know,
And own thy love was great.
IV
Then shall we shine before thy throneIn all thy beauty, Lord;
And the poor service we have done
Meet a divine reward.
