“Lord, I believe thou hast prepared—
Unworthy though I be—
For me a blood-bought free reward,
A golden harp for me.
‘Tis strung and tuned for endless years,
And formed by power divine,
To sound in God the Father's ears
No other name but thine.”
COWPER.
“MY joy, my life, my crown!
My heart was meaning all the day,
Somewhat it fain would say;
And still it runneth muttering up and down
With only this, My joy, my life, my crown.”
A TRUE HYMN-GEORGE HERBERT.
