[Thy previous grace, which now I feel]
He looked up, and said, I see men as trees, &c.
—viii. 24.
Thy previous grace, which now I feel,
To me mine unbelief hath shown.
Hath made my darkness visible,
And joyful in its cure begun,
A glimmering light my spirit sees,
And men beholds as walking trees.
To me mine unbelief hath shown.

And joyful in its cure begun,
A glimmering light my spirit sees,
And men beholds as walking trees.
As walking in a shadow vain
A world of sinners I perceive;
Joy they pursue, and sorrow gain,
In ignorance like mine they live,
Till justice stern the axe apply,
And then they fade, they fall, they die!
A world of sinners I perceive;
Joy they pursue, and sorrow gain,
In ignorance like mine they live,
Till justice stern the axe apply,
And then they fade, they fall, they die!
