[The body He did once assume]
Whom the heaven must receive until the, &c.
—iii. 21.
The body He did once assume,
Did of the virgin's substance take,
The flesh which swell'd her sacred womb,
And suffer'd torment for our sake,
Join'd with the Deity is gone,
And sits on His eternal throne.
Did of the virgin's substance take,
The flesh which swell'd her sacred womb,
And suffer'd torment for our sake,
Join'd with the Deity is gone,
And sits on His eternal throne.
The body pure of flesh and blood,
Subject no more to death or pain,
Sublime at the right hand of God,
Doth in perpetual rest remain:
Its virtues, fruits, effects we prove;
Yet still the body dwells above.

Yet still the body dwells above.
Enrobed with majesty and power,
It fills and brightens all the sky,
Till coming all things to restore,
And visible to mortal eye,
Earth He renews by sovereign grace,
And shows the world His glorious face.

Immortal Son of Man, appear,
Our Maker, on Thine azure seat,
Begin the great sabbatic year,
Thy people spotless and complete
In full millennial joy maintain,
And then in Thine eternal reign!
Our Maker, on Thine azure seat,
Begin the great sabbatic year,
Thy people spotless and complete

And then in Thine eternal reign!
