The Undefiled.

“Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.”
Blessed are the undefiled, Who walk the heavenly way; The law of God is in their hearts, They serve him every day.
They tell of Jesus' dying love, And bow the suppliant knee; The closet is a blest retreat, 'Tis there they love to be.
The consecrated cross they bear That they may wear the crown, And triumph in victorious grace, And let their songs abound.
They stand secure while many foes Assail on every side; They fearlessly withstand them all, And look to Christ their guide.
They patiently endure reproach, For Jesus says they must, That they may gain that blissful home, Prepared for all the just.
Their hope is in the Lord of hosts, On him they do rely; They journey on with eager feet, And mercy is their cry.
They're pilgrims and sojourners here, As all their fathers were; They'll stem the storm till Jesus comes, And then his glories share.
I see them in that city bright, Long time ago foretold; And with the holy angels walk The streets of burnished gold.
Methinks I hear them sing the song Of Moses and the Lamb; And see them rest from all their cares, In Canaan's happy land.
There they shall see the God they love, And Christ who died to save; There the dear saints will die no more, When ransomed from the grave.
