The Times of Refreshing
Thomas Gibbons • English
Primary Scripture: Exodus 31:17
Verse 1
On Sion, his most holy mount, God will a feast prepare, And Israel's sons, and Gentile lands Shall in the banquet share.
Verse 2
Marrow and fatness are the food His bounteous hand bestows: Wine on the lees, and well refin'd, In rich abundance flows.
Verse 3
See to the vilest of the vile A free acceptance given! See, rebels by adopting grace
Verse 4
The pain'd, the sick, the dying, now To ease and health restor'd, With eager appetites partake The plenties of the board.
Verse 5
But O what draughts of bliss unknown, What dainties shall be given, When, with the myriads round the throne, We join the feast of heaven!
Verse 6
There joys immeasurably high Shall overflow the soul, And springs of life, that never dry, In thousand channels roll.
