SWEET SURPRISES.

And still to loving, weeping eyes, Appear in sudden gloriousness?

Dost Thou not in their sorest need

Thy fainting servants still renew?

And still their dearest hope exceed,

And still their best desire outdo?

To us Thy tremblers, Lord, appear,

With us Thy weary pilgrims walk!

Delight our banquets with Thy cheer,

And lift to heights divine our talk!

On us in sudden brightness break,

For us repeat each sweet surprise ;

Our hearts will burn when Thou dost speak,

Our earth-bound souls with Thee will rise.
