Exempted from the general doom

Verse 1
Exempted from the general doom,
The death which all are born to know,
Enoch obtain’d his heavenly home
By faith, and disappear’d below.

Verse 2
From earth unpainfully releas’d,
Translated to the realms of light,
He found the God by faith he pleas’d,
His faith was sweetly lost in sight.

Verse 3
God without faith we cannot please:
For all, who unto God would come,
Must feelingly believe he is,
And gives to all their righteous doom.

Verse 4
We feelingly believe thou art:
Behold we ever seek thee, Lord,
With all our mind, with all our heart,
And find thee now our great reward.
