HYMN 56. The Spiritual Bridegroom. Sung at the Administration of Baptism.
1
How pleasant is it, for to seepoor Sinners to espouse
Their dearest Lord, who only is,
the Blessed Sharons Rose.
2
'Tis thou, Lord Jesus, we do Preach,and thy high Praises sing;
Thou art our All, all Grace's from thee;
and spiritual Blessings spring.
3
O who is like, Lord, unto Thee,thy Beauty doth exceed;
Thy Glory is so infinite;
in Thee's all things we need:
4
There's none thy Glory can set forth,yet thou dost condescend
To be the Bridegroom of our Souls,
our Joy, our God, our Friend.
62
5
Be thou to us above all things;Chief of ten Thousand be;
Let those enamouring Lips of thine,
endear our Souls to Thee:
6
O let thy Saints be ravishedwith Love begetting Love;
Fill'd with eternal Joys Divine,
which flow down from above!
7
O then with Angels sing the Praiseof your most sacred Friend:
The Glory of Christ Jesus raise,
until your Days shall end.
