HYMN 10. GOD's glorious Bounty: Or, Grace shining.
1
Thy Love, O Lord, is very greatto such vile Ones as we;
Such who lay Dead in Trespasses,
are quickened by thee:
2
Thy Bounty to these Souls of ours,who can of it conceive:
And those thou dost Regenerate
this Bounty do receive.
3
'Tis they who are deliveredfrom that Forelorn Estate,
They once were in, when they lay Dead;
whose souls, Lord, did thee Hate.
4
'Tis they whose Souls united beunto thy self, O Lord,
And have Communion too with thee,
thou dost this Grace afford.
15
5
Death can't dissolve this blessed Knot,this union doth remain;
At Death such do to Jesus go,
Death unto them is gain.
6
Well may such say unto their Souls,Return unto your rest!
For they at Death to Glory go,
and ly in thy Sweet Breast.
7
Their they do joyn with Seraphims,in blessed Harmony,
To Sing and Celebrate thy Praise
unto Eternity.
