THE PLEASANTNESS OF RELIGION.

Come, and now reside in me, Never, never to remove; Make me just, and good, like thee, And full of power and love. 2 Bid me in thy image rise,

1

A saint, a creature new; True, and merciful, and wise, And pure, and happy too: This thy primitive design,

That I should in thee be blest; Should, within the arms divine, For ever, ever rest. 3 Let thy will on me be done; Fulfil my heart's desire, Thee to know and love alone, And rise in raptures higher: Thee, descending on a cloud, When with ravish'd eyes I see, Then I shall be fill'd with God To all eternity!

HYMN 19.

RE

EJOICE evermore With angels above, In Jesus's power, In Jesus's love: With glad exultation Your triumph proclaim, Ascribing salvation To God and the Lamb. 2 Thou, Lord, our relief In trouble hast been; Hast saved us from grief, Hast saved us from sin;

The power of thy Spirit Hath set our hearts free,

And now we inherit All fulness in thee: 3 All fulness of peace, All fulness of joy, And spiritual bliss That never shall cloy: To us it is given In Jesus to know

A kingdom of heaven, A heaven below. 4 No longer we join, While sinners invite; Nor envy the swine Their brutish delight;
