The Extasie.
Such a Lord and such a Life,Whose presence bringeth Pleasures rife.
Such a way as leads to Bliss,
Who walks therein can't walk amiss.
139
The Father and the Prince of Lyes.
Such a Light as leads us to
Eternal Comforts not a few.
Such a Feast as doth rejoyce,
Compounded of the best and choice.
Such a Strength as doth defend
Not for a day, but to the end.
Such a Joy that giveth store
Of Pleasures, lasting evermore.
Such a Love as heard my cry,
Though sin made me his enemy.
Such a Lamb whose sweet abode
Makes ev'ry Saint a Lamb of God.
Such a Shepherd of his Sheep,
There's none can stray whom he doth keep.
Shuch a Shield and such a Sun,
Defends and shines till all is won.
Open, my heart, and such a God receive;
He's All in All to them that do believe.
