[Meanest of Jacob's race]

The fountain [or Eye Heb.] of Jacob, &c. —xxxiii. 28.

Meanest of Jacob's race
By Jordan's stream I stand,
And lo! mine eye of faith surveys
The wide extended land!
A land of corn and wine
Our spirits to sustain,
And fill with vigorous life Divine
The gladden'd heart of man:
There the soft dew distils,
The soul-reviving bliss,
And Christ His pardoning grace reveals,
And whispers I am His,
Till God His Spirit pours,
His fulness from above,
In streams of righteousness, and showers
Of everlasting love.
