“Thus saith the Lord, I remember thee.” Jer. 2. 2
1
O where is now that glowing love
 
That marked our union with the Lord?
 
Our hearts were fixed on things above,
 
Nor could the world one joy afford.
2
So strange did love like his appear,
 
That love that made him bear the cross,
 
No other subject pleased our ear;
 
The world for this appeared but loss.
3
Where is the zeal that led us then
 
To make the Saviour’s glory known;
 
That freed us from the fear of men,
 
And kept our eye on him alone?
4
Where are the happy seasons spent
 
In fellowship with him we loved?
 
The sacred joy, the sweet content,
 
The blessedness that then we proved?
5
Behold, again we turn to thee;
 
O cast us not away, though vile!
 
No peace we have, no joy we see,
 
O Lord our God, but in thy smile.
