- 1When God revealed his gracious name,
- And changed my mournful state,
- My raptures seemed a pleasing dream,
- The grace appeared so great.
- 2The world beheld the glorious change,
- And did thy hand confess;
- My tongue broke out in unknown strains,
- And sung surprising grace.
- 3The Lord can clear the darkest skies,
- Can give us day for night;
- Make drops of sacred sorrow rise
- To rivers of delight.
- 4Let those who sow in sadness wait
- Till the fair harvest come:
- They shall confess their sheaves are great,
- And shout the blessings home.
