A Holy RAPTURE.
Could I screw up my Brain so high
With soaring Raptures that might fly
Unto the Empirean Sky,
With soaring Raptures that might fly
Unto the Empirean Sky,
80
How would I laud the Lord of light,
Who fills all things, and every Wight
With Plenty, Vigour and Delight?
Who fills all things, and every Wight
With Plenty, Vigour and Delight?
My Voice with Hallelujahs loud
Shold pierce, and dissipate the Clouds,
Which in the Airie Region croud.
Shold pierce, and dissipate the Clouds,
Which in the Airie Region croud.
Then through the Element of Fire
Unto the Stars they should aspire,
And so to the Seraphick Quire.
Unto the Stars they should aspire,
And so to the Seraphick Quire.
Thus Earth and Sky with every thing
Should joyn with me, and Carrols sing
Unto the Everlasting King.
Should joyn with me, and Carrols sing
Unto the Everlasting King.
