UPRIGHT, both in heart and will,

By A Collection of Hymns


      7s & 6s.
      1 UPRIGHT, both in heart and will,
      We by our God were made;
      But we turned from good to ill,
      And o'er the creature strayed;
      Multiplied our wandering thought,
      Which first was fixed on God alone,
      In ten thousand objects sought
      The bliss we lost in one.

      2 From our own inventions vain
      Of fancied happiness,
      Draw us to thyself again,
      And bid our wanderings cease;
      Jesus, speak our souls restored
      By love's divine simplicity,
      Re-united to our Lord,
      And wholly lost in thee!
