3. Earth's but a sorry tent, Pitch'd for a few frail days; A short-leased tenement.

Heav'n 's still my song, my praise.

4. No tears from any eyes

Oh happy place, &c.

Drop in that holy Quire:
But Death itself there dies,
And sighs themselves expire.

Oh happy place, &c.

5. There should temptation cease;
My frailties there should end;
There should I rest in peace,
In the arms of my best Friend.

Oh happy place, &c.
