HYMN.
Far from these narrow scenes of night, Unbounded glories rise; And realms of infinite delight, Unknown to mortal eyes. Fair distant land ! could mortal eyes But half its charms explore, How would our spirits long to rise, And dwell on earth no more ! There pain and sickness never come And grief no more complains ; Health triumphs in immortal bloom, And endless pleasure reigns. No cloud those-blissful regions know, Realms ever bright and fair; For sin, the source of mortal woe, Can never enter there. There nil the millions of his saints Shall in one song unite, And each the bliss of all shall vie-.v With infinite delight. Nor needed is the shining Moon Nor e'en the Sun's bright ray, For glory, from the sacred throne, Spreads everlasting day..
