<p>
On man, in his own image made,
How much did God bestow!
The whole creation homage paid,
And own'd him lord below.
</p>
<p>
He dwelt in Eden's garden, stored
With sweets for every sense;
And there, with his descending Lord,
He walk'd in confidence.

How bless'd the righteous are
When they resign their breath!
No wonder Balaam wish'd to share
In such a happy death.
</p>
<p>
"Oh! let me die," said he,
"The death the righteous do,—
When life is ended, let me be
Found with the faithful few."
