Asking the Way to Zion, in order to joining in Covenant with GOD. Jerem. l. 5

by (1773–1832)

Listen in the reader

Enquire, ye Pilgrims, for the Way, That leads to Zion's Hill, And thither set your steady Face With a determin'd Will.

Invite the Strangers all around Your pious March to join; And spread the Sentiments you feel Of Faith and Love divine.

Come, let us to his Temple haste, And seek his Favour there, Before his Footstool humbly bow, And pour our servent Pray'r.

Come, let us join our Souls to GOD In everlasting Bands, And seize the Blessings he bestows With eager Hearts and Hands.

Come, let us seal without Delay The Cov'nant of his Grace; Nor shall the Years of distant Life Its Memory efface.

Thus may our rising Offspring haste To seek their Fathers GOD, Nor e'er forsake the happy Path Their youthful Feet have trod.
