if YOUR harps, ye trembling saints, cres Then is the time to trust our God,

Down from the willows take;

Loud to the praise of love divine
Bid every string awake.

2 mf Though in a foreign land,
We are not far from home;
And nearer to our house above
We every moment come.

3 mf His grace will to the end

Stronger and brighter shine;
Nor present things, nor things to come
Shall quench the spark divine.

4 When we in darkness walk,
Nor feel the heavenly flame,

And rest upon His name.
