A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship ‎#CX

CX. O happy souls, who live on high!

1 O happy souls, who live on high!
While men lie groveling here,
Their hopes are fix'd above the sky,
And faith forbids their fear.

2 Their conscience knows no secret stings,
While grace and joy combine
To form a life, whose holy springs
Are hidden and divine.

3 Their pleasures rise from things unseen,
Beyond this world of time,
Where neither eyes nor ears have been,
Nor thoughts of mortals climb.

4 They want no pomp nor royal throne
To raise their honours here;
Content and pleas'd to live unknown
Till Christ their life appear.
