The Mountain Spring, and Other Poems
Blessings which all the world should see.

Through Jacob would the gift be given

Of Jesus to this sinful earth;

God signified within this vision

Glad news of our Redeemer's birth;

The star of Bethlehem would shine,

That star of joy and peace and love,

Our bleeding sacrifice divine

To cleanse our hearts, our guilt remove.

If faith and praise in us abound

Toward Israel's God, angels are near;

His word declares they camp around

All those who look to him in fear.

When Jacob woke, the ground he trod

Seemed holy; and he named his stone

"Bethel," which means "the house of God."

With heaven so near, was he alone?

NO OTHER

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.—Acts 4:12.

Swiftly we float upon time's tide
