The blessings here by me implored Are all in Jesus richly stored. Yea, thousands more than are expressed, Are found in him my heavenly rest. Count all the stars that shine by night. Count all the sun’s sweet rays of light. Count all things moving, great or small, The sands of this terrestrial ball, Though vast the number, yet how few, Compared with what by faith I view. All meeting in my glorious Friend, Whose love and mercy knows no end. —Sol.
