THE END OF WILDERNESS

Jehovah showed that He was glad

The daughters of Zelophehad

Claimed their inheritance;

Claim the rich blessings there for you.

Confident that what will ensue

Is heavenly jubilance.

After such fervour it is sad

That those of Reuben and of Gad

Prefer a lower place;

Go on to all the good that's yours

Because of all God's heart assures

In its unbounded grace!

The half tribe of Manasseh found

They too were allocated ground

Upon the eastern bank;

In all the good He will provide,

In land, or family, or bride,

You have the Lord to thank.

Now Moses, at the LORD's command

Climbs Pisgah to survey the land

Where Israel shall dwell;

So, by the Spirit, we may view

The blessings God will bring us to

Since He does all things well.

He saw the end of his pursuit,

Seeing it lived in, yet his foot

Would never tread its loam;

Authority may bring you near

The blessings of the heavenly sphere

But love must draw you home.
