In thy presence is fulness of joy, at thy right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalms 16:11 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. Revelation 21:2-4; Revelation 21:10-12.
O my dear Saviour, being still so very imperfect, and little prepared for heaven, grant that I may be more adorned with faith and love, with a heavenly mind, and spiritual desires. And since thou knowest what I am wanting, and hath justified and clothed me already, with thy own garment and blood, and hast brought so many sons to glory, I trust, that thou wilt inwardly adorn, perfect, and bring me home in due time.
Oh, the delights, the heavenly joys.
The glories of the place,
Where Jesus sends the brightest beam,
Of his overflowing grace!
Archangels sound his lofty praise,
Through every heavenly street.
And lay their highest honours down,.
Submissive at his feet.
Lord, how our souls are all on fire,
To see thy blest abode;
Our tongues rejoice in tunes of praise
To our incarnate God.
And while our faith enjoys this sight,.
We long to leave our clay;
And wish thy fiery chariots, Lord,
To fetch our souls away.
