[Whom Jacob once in Bethel found]

He found Him in Bethel, and there he spake, &c. —xii. 4.

Whom Jacob once in Bethel found,
We too have found the Lord,
Have heard His voice of mercy sound,
His reconciling word;
Where first we felt the sprinkled blood,
And saw our sins forgiven,
This is, we cried, the house of God,
This is the gate of heaven!
