Think what Spirit dwells within thee, What a Father’s smile is thine, What a Savior died to win thee; Child of heav’n, shouldst thou repine? 6 Haste, then, on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heav’n’s eternal day’s before thee, God’s own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close the earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days, Hope soon change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.
