The Spirit in our hearts will dwell, Give us, O God, for Jesus' sake, ENOCH. In ancient days, before the flood, He knew that God was ever nigh, And that in Him he liv'd and mov'd; And though he saw not with his eye, His heart God's presence own'd and lov'd. For this undoubting faithfulness To him a great reward was given; He never died, but full of bliss God took him up to dwell in heaven. Almighty God is round us now, And gives us every breath we draw ; He hears us when we make a vow, And sees who strive to keep His law. If we but give our hearts to Him, And love Him as we ought to do, Each one of us His child He'll name, And take at death to heaven too. L.M. |
