HYMN 32. The Drooping Spirit Revived.

1

Come drooping Saints, ye princely ones,
why do your heads hang down?
Tho' some do fall yet Grace shall you
with Glory ever Crown.

2

Christ bids you ever to Rejoyce,
again he says Rejoyce,
Whatever Sin or Satan faith
'tis your Beloveds voice.

3

Why should you be discouraged,
O heirs of special Grace,

39

For goodly is your Heritage,
and pleasant is your place!

4

What e'r discouragments you find,
our Christ can answer all;
His Arms are ready to lift up
when you are near to fall.

5

You have had a sweet taste of God,
he is to you most dear;
You feel the power of his Word,
be therefore of good Chear!
