And flames with the glory of God.
VI,

No need of the fun in that day
Which never is follow'd by night,
Where Jesus's beauties difplay

A pure and a permanent light;
The Lamb is their light and their fun,
And lo! by reflection they fhine,

With Jefus ineffably one,

And bright in effulgence divine.
V.

The faints in his prefence receive
Their great and eternal reward,
In Jefus, in heaven, they live,
They reign in the fmile of their Lord:
The flame of angelical love

Is kindled at Jefus's face,

And all their enjoyment above

Confifts in the rapturous gaze.
