Church poetry : or, Christian thoughts in old and modern verse . oul, when your flesh dissolves to dust,To Gods safe hands yourself entrust;Be not too curious to enquire Where to aspire ; Whether to Paradise you fly,Or in blessd Abrams bosom lie,Or to that orb your flight you raise Where Enoch stays. Or to the third celestial sphere, Where wonders Paul was wrapt to hear, Or Hades blest, where souls elect Full bliss expect. Secure your love while here below, And dying youll to Jesus go : Paul longM loved Jesus face to view, For that long you. FUTURE STATE. 279 BlessM Jesus boundless bliss divine,In you a miniature will shine,Glory for glory, beam for beam Will on you stream. A crown, a throne on Gods right hand,Where saints their robes of ray expand,Where saints are kings, and on their stateHigh angels wait. Such blessings on the saints attend,When Jesus-like they heaven ascend,The Lamb of joys, the boundless Spring,Theyll ever sing. Death our forerunner is, and guidesTo Sion where the Lamb abides ;There saints enjoy ecstatic rest In mansions
