[The land where Jesus should be known]
Upon the land of My people shall come, &c.
—xxxii. 13, 15.
The land where Jesus should be known,
Cultured by moral art in vain,
With thorns and brambles overgrown,
Defies the virtuous toil of man,
And who the Christian faith confess
Are all one ghastly wilderness.
Cultured by moral art in vain,
With thorns and brambles overgrown,
Defies the virtuous toil of man,
And who the Christian faith confess
Are all one ghastly wilderness.
Sin, only sin, can there appear,
Till our great Advocate above
Send down the purchased Comforter,
The promised Spirit of faith and love,
A gracious principle impart,
And change the unbelieving heart.
Till our great Advocate above
Send down the purchased Comforter,
The promised Spirit of faith and love,
A gracious principle impart,
And change the unbelieving heart.
Then, then our barren souls shall bloom,
The ghastly uncouth wilderness
A flowery, fertile field become,
A field which God delights to bless,
And all His Spirit's fruits shall show
Our paradise regain'd below.
The ghastly uncouth wilderness
A flowery, fertile field become,
A field which God delights to bless,
402
Our paradise regain'd below.
