3 Like them, we have a rest in view,
Secure from adverse pow rs ;
Like them, we pass a desert too,
But Isr'el's God is ours.
4 Yes, in this barren wilderness
He is to us the same,
By his appointed means of grace,
As once he was to them.
5 His word a light before us spreads.
By which our path we see ;
His love, a banner o er our heads.
From harm preserves us free.
6 Jesus, the bread of life, is giv n
To be our daily food ;
We drink a wondrous stream from heav n,
Tis water, wine, and blood.
7 Lord, tis enough, I ask no more ;
These blessings are divine ;
I envy not the worldling s store
If Christ and heav n are mine.

Communion with the Saints in Glory.
1 REFRESHED by the bread and wine,
The pledges of our Saviour s love,
Now let our hearts and voices join
In songs of praise with those above.
2 Do they sing, "Worthy is the Lamb"?
Although we cannot reach their strains,
Yet we through grace can sing the same,
For us he died, for us he reigns.
3 If they behold him face to face,
While we a glimpse can only see,
Yet, equal debtors to his grace,
As safe and as beloved are we.
4 They had, like us, a suff'ring time,
Our cares and fears and griefs they knew ;
