Aloud will I rejoice.

And make their empty boast
Of inward joys, and sins forgiv'n,
While they are slaves to lust!

And mercy, like a mighty stream,
O'er all their sins divinely rolls.

The joys that cannot be expressed.

And nobler speech, that angels use,
If love be absent, I am found,
Like tinkling brass, an empty sound.

And dwells in heav'nly light.

Descending from above.

To Abram and his seed!

Supplying all their need."
