Sivu 7 - For those that follow thee. There, if thy spirit touch the soul, And grace her mean abode, O with what peace, and joy, and love, She communes with her God. 2 There, like the nightingale she pours Her solitary lays ; Nor asks a witness to her song, Nor thirsts for human praise ; There, O my soul ! look up and view Thy Father's smiling face ; Here, promises he grants to you, LXXXIV.
