HIS steady eye surveys the happy shore,
Where grief, and pain, and sickness, are no more:
He counts the mighty ransom that was given
To waft the sinner’s soul in peace to Heaven;
Dwells on the promis’d bliss to lost mankind,
While praise exalted fills his humble mind;
Not to himself, but to his Saviour flies,
And in his boundless love exulting dies.
(Maria Frances Cecilia Cowper)
