[Lo! in longing hope I stand]

I pray thee, let me go over and see the good land, &c. —iii. 25.

Lo! in longing hope I stand,
To enter, Lord, the goodly land,
Land of liberty and peace,
Happy land of righteousness!

91

Me who have rebellious been,
Bring into the rest from sin,
Into the rest of ripest love,
Into the rest of saints above.
For Thy people's rest I sigh,
Ready on Jordan's brink to die:
Must I, Lord, excluded be,
Never tread the land I see?
O for mercy's sake revive,
Bid me in Thine image live,
And then in perfect peace depart,
Holy, and just, and pure of heart.
