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.
From The Praise Book.)
