5 Into these Valleys thou dost send Thy precious streams amain; Those Meadows well are watered, Yea, watered again.
6 Like as the Sun is full of light, And Waters fill the Sea; ⟨p. 77⟩So art thou full of goodness, Lord, So is that grace in thee.
7 How many Vessels hast thou filled Since first the Fountain run! And many thousands more wilt fill Before that thou hast done!

The Second Part. 1 All Souls of Saints that ever were, Who did true grace possess, Were filled by thee, and yet we see There's ne'er a drop the less. 2 Great Vessels, Lord, thy Churches be, Yet all these thou dost fill; A gracious measure they all have, According to thy will. 3 A bigger Vessel we espy Thou empty wilt anon; And fill it full of grace likewise Before that thou hast done. 4 This Vessel, Lord, is the whole Earth That now abounds with sin; Thou wilt it empty o'er awhile, And fill it full again. 5 Nay, thou wilt turn it upside down, As some their Vessels do; To empty it of wickedness, Which now aboundeth so.
