HYMN 53. Spiritual Joy increasing.

1

Rejoyce ye that in Houses dwell,
in Houses made of Clay,
For Bodies of the Saints excell;
and shall another Day:

2

Lord shew unto thy Servants all
thy Favour and thy Grace;
And let us all both Great and Small
Behold thy glorious Face.

3

O put great joy into our Hearts,
so will we sing to Thee:
And cause have more than those whose Corn
and Wines increased be:

4

Sing to the Lord in Righteousness,
his face do you behold;
In Christ, God doth you richly Bless
with Blessings manifold.

5

God is your God, you Union have
through Christ, with him again;
Your Bodies and your Souls are his,
so ever shall remain:

6

Some joy in Wealth, and others do
in Pleasures much abound;
But such alone have cause of joy
that have Gods favour found.
