[In that millennial church below]

Thy people also shall be all righteous: &c. —lx. 21.

In that millennial church below
From every spot and wrinkle freed,
Thy people pure and white as snow,
Thy saints shall all be saints indeed;
Not one unrighteous soul is found,
Where Jesus doth His throne maintain,
But perfected in love, and crown'd
With life, they all for ever reign.
For I who to My promise stand,
Will bid the righteous branch arise,
The work of Mine almighty hand,
The plants prepared for paradise:
They here shall to perfection grow,
To show how angels serve above,
My wisdom, power, and truth to show,
My richest grace, and utmost love.
