Lines

written when I learned the sweetness of

"Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."

My God, my soul enraptured is
With love and grace divine
Which brought me from my lost estate
And made me wholly Thine.

My cup with blessing Thou hast filled–
I can but Thee adore,
And from Thy ceaseless love to me
My cup doth oft flow o'er.

No effort now to worship Thee-
New life the heart expands,
And praise flows forth to Thee, my God,
And glory to the Lamb.

My heart has treasured up Thy love-
So vast, boundless, and free,
My raptured soul with joy exclaims,
My springs are all in Thee !

August 1886
