Enoch And Noah

Ere the flood's engulfing billows

Desolation spread around

Enoch to his rest was taken,

Enoch happy rest had found;

Noah, brought through all its dangers

Found the ark his resting place:

Each secure, and each made happy,

By the Lord's abounding grace.

Enoch, of the Church a figure,

Taken ere the wrath was pour'd:

Knowing, ere his blest translation,

He was pleasing to the Lord:

Noah, representing Israel's Remnant of the latter day.

Brought through all the tribulation,

Happy 'neath Messiah's sway.
