[How pure the blessed spirits there]
When they shall rise from the dead, they, &c.
—xii. 25.
How pure the blessed spirits there,
Who bright celestial bodies wear,
No more to earth allied.
Consummated in joy unknown,
For ever bless'd, for ever one,
With Jesus glorified.
Who bright celestial bodies wear,
No more to earth allied.
Consummated in joy unknown,
For ever bless'd, for ever one,
With Jesus glorified.
O that we might begin below
The life angelical to know,
Our faithfulness approve,
Present with God in every place,
Perform His will, and see His face
In purity of love!

Perform His will, and see His face
In purity of love!
Jesus, the holiness impart,
Earnest of glory in my heart,
And then my soul receive
To cast its wreath before Thy throne,
The heavenly life on earth begun
Eternally to live.

And then my soul receive
To cast its wreath before Thy throne,
The heavenly life on earth begun
Eternally to live.
