HYMN 24. The Soul Rent: Or, Glory Shining. A Hymn of Praise on Gospel Salvation.
1
All the seraphick Train aboveare stooping down so low,
To learn o'th' Church that Mystery
past Ages did not know:
2
But now the Vail is Rent in twain,the Mystery is Unfol'd,
Justice and Mercy, reconcil'd
we do herein behold.

3
We now in Gospel days may gointo th'Holy Place,
And in a bleeding JESUS see
God's reconciled Face.
4
Ye Sinners then this Saviour view,that for your sins was slain;
And this Salvation slight no more,
O look, view him again!
5
How can ye see him bleed, and stillretain your cursed sin?
How can ye see him call to you
and you will not come in?
6
O dearest Jesus, if a tasteof Love be here so sweet,
What will it be when we with Thee,
our dearest Lord, shall meet?
7
O let us sing to him always,and him in Truth Adore,
For the day's near when we shall be
with him for evermore.
