Verse 1
Jesus, my vehement spirit pants
To join the fellowship of saints,
The simple Israelites indeed,
Who nor in act, nor word transgress,
Preserv’d in purity and peace,
From guile and sin forever freed.
Verse 2
With these may I my lot receive,
And by the silent waters live,
And on the hidden manna feast,
With these in pastures green lie down,
Assur’d that none shall take my crown,
Or break mine everlasting rest.
