330 Enoch LM

DID Enoch walk with God,
His patron and his friend?
Sacred the path in which he trod,
And happier still his end.

2 While others went astray,
Or vile companions chose
His soul maintained the heavenly way
In spite of all his foes.

3 The cause of truth he owned
In that degenerate age
And God the Lord with honour crowned,
His lengthened pilgrimage.

4 The scoffing of men he bore,
But God his way approved;
The unbelieving world no more
Shall scorn the man he loved.

5 Borne on an angel’s wing,
He mounts above the skies;
Exempt from death’s envenomed sting
Behold him joyful rise.

6 Upheld by power supreme,
There’s nought but I could do
Could boldly enter Jordan’s stream
And pass in triumph too.
