The Southern harmony, and musical companion | ||
[How sweet the melting lay]
1.
How sweet the melting layWhich breaks upon the ear,
When, at the hour of rising day,
Christians unite in prayer.
2.
The breezes waft their criesUp to Jehovah's throne;
He listens to their heaving sighs,
And sends his blessing down.
3.
So Jesus rose to prayBefore the morning light.
Or on the chilling mount did stay,
And wrestle all the night
4.
Glory to God on high,Who sends his blessings down,
To rescue souls condemn'd to die,
And make his people one.
