The Good Man's Prospect for Time and Eternity. Psalm xxiii. 6
by Philip Doddridge (1773–1832)
My Soul triumphant in the LORD Shall tell its Joys abroad; And march with holy Vigour on, Supported by it's GOD.
Thro' all the winding Maze of Life, His Hand hath been my Guide, And in that long experienc'd Care My Heart shall still confide.
His Grace thro' all the Desart flows An unexhausted Stream: That Grace on Zion's sacred Mount Shall be my endless Theme .
Beyond the choicest Joys of Earth These distant Courts I love; But O! I burn with strong Desire To view thy House above.
Mingled with all the shining Band My Soul would there adore; A Pillar in thy Temple fix'd, To be remov'd no more.
