[Faithful, and true, for this we wait]
Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem, &c.
—iii. 20, 21.
Faithful, and true, for this we wait,
The glories of our first estate
With all Thy latest church to prove;
Purge out our old congenial stains,
Expel the' engrafted sin's remains
By perfect purity and love.
The glories of our first estate
With all Thy latest church to prove;
Purge out our old congenial stains,
Expel the' engrafted sin's remains
By perfect purity and love.

Sion shall then in safety dwell,
Fulness of joy that cannot fail
Possessing, and of Thee possess'd;
Thy spotless bride completely fair
Shall then Thy glorious image bear,
And live with God, for ever bless'd.
Fulness of joy that cannot fail
Possessing, and of Thee possess'd;
Thy spotless bride completely fair
Shall then Thy glorious image bear,
And live with God, for ever bless'd.
