What dazzling splendor! What amazing height! Imagination faints beneath tho weight. To those unbounded joys my wishes rise; My breast dilates and burns to gain the skies. Dear Lord, I feel, I feel those joys in part Immortal love to this excuting heart. Firm faith and hope through all my bosom glow, Empires I scorn, nor taste one joy below. Even now I seem to tread the heavenly road. By faithf I see him, and adore the GOD. What more than transport, what unknown delight, Thrills in each vein at this shrice glorious slight! Jesus, the GOD! O wonderful to tell! With unlcear mortals humbly designs to dwell. The new Jerusalem stands in full light, And all its charms attract my eager sight. Flash! his glad saints he bids dismiss each fear. See! From each eye he wipes the falling tear. While wretched mortals on this globe we dwell, For one true joy and thousand griefs we feel.
