Isaac Watts - Hymn 31 part 2
Work rating: Low

The Christian`s hidden life.

Col. 3:3. 

O happy soul that lives on high
While men lie grov`lling here
His hopes are fixed above the sky,
And faith forbids his fear.

His conscience knows no secret stings,
While peace and joy combine
To form a life whose holy springs
Are hidden and divine.

He waits in secret on his God,
His God in secret sees;
Let earth be all in arms abroad,
He dwells in heav`nly peace.

His pleasures rise from things unseen,
Beyond this world and time;
Where neither eyes nor ears have been,
Nor thoughts of sinners climb.

He wants no pomp nor royal throne
To raise his figure here;
Content and pleased to live unknown,
Till Christ, his life, appear.

He looks to heav`n`s eternal hill
To meet that glorious day;
But patient waits his Savior`s will
To fetch his soul away.
