第 86 頁 - God revealed his gracious name, * • And changed my mournful state, My rapture seemed a pleasing dream, The grace appeared so great. 2 The world beheld the glorious change, And did thy hand confess; My tongue broke out in unknown strains, And sung surprising grace. 3 " Great is the work !" my neighbors cried, And owned the power divine ;
