Sends the sweet smell of grace abroad,
Where serpents lurk'd before.

4 The soul, a dreary province once
Of Satan's dark domain;

Feels a new empire form'd within,
And owns a heav'nly reign.

5 The glorious orb, whose golden beams,
The fruitful year control;
Since first, obedient to thy word,
He started from the goal

T'adore the all-atoning Lamb, 12 And bless the sound of Jesus' name. 2 Jesus! transporting sound; and The joy of earth and heav'n, A No other help is found,

No other name is giv'n, belila

They evermore proclaim,
And wonder at his love!

Tis all their happiness to gaze,

'Tis heav'n to see our Jesus' face.

That hangs upon our eyes,
Till Christ, with his reviving light,
Upon our souls arise, t

2 Our guilty spirits dread

To meet the wrath of heav'n;
But in his righteousness array'd,
We see our sins forgiv❜n,

Are all our thoughts and ways,
His hands infected nature cure,
With sanctifying grace.

4 The pow'rs of hell agree

To hold our souls, in vain;
He sets the sons of bondage free,
And breaks the cursed chain.
