2 [Let us not always make our moan, Nor worship thee, a God unknown; But let us live to prove Thy people's rest, thy saint's delight, 3 Rejoicing now in earnest hope, 4 A land of corn, and wine, and oil, There dwells THELORD OUR RIGHTEOUS- And keeps his own in perfect peace 5 [Oh, when shall we at once go up ! When shall we end our ling'ring years, The heavenly Canaan, Lord! divide; Give us a lot of love! 177. Joy. C.M.
