['Tis all our joy, while here below]

We came to Ptolemais, and saluted the, &c. —xxi. 7.

'Tis all our joy, while here below
As sojourners we rove,
To visit those that Jesus know,
And our Redeemer love;
Refreshment sweet in them we find,
And faith and strength renew'd,
And cast the evil world behind,
And closer cleave to God.
Awhile in Jesus' servant bless'd,
How short soe'er his stay;
We cheerfully resign our guest
Who tarries but a day;
We travel on with warmer zeal
Till all our toils are o'er,
And meeting on that heavenly hill
Embrace to part no more.
