Hymn on the sacrament.
I
And art thou mine, my dearest Lord?Then I have all, nor fly
The boldest wishes I can form
Unto a pitch more high.
37
II
Yes, thou art mine, the contract's seal'dWith thine own precious blood;
And ev'n almighty power's engag'd
To see it all made good.
III
My fears dissolve: for oh! what moreCou'd studious bounty do?
What farther mighty proofs are left
Unbounded love to shew?
IV
My faith's confirm'd, nor wou'd I quitMy title to thy love,
For all the valu'd things below,
Or shining things above.
V
Nor at the prosp'rous sinner's stateDo I at all repine;
No, let 'em parcel out the earth,
While heav'n and thou art mine.
