HYMN 56.
The Spiritual Bridegroom. Sung at the Administration of Baptism.
1 How pleasant is it, for to see poor Sinners to espouse Their dearest Lord, who only is, the Blessed Sharons Rose. 2 'Tis thou, Lord Jesus, we do Preach, and thy high Praises sing; Thou art our All, all Grace's from thee, and spiritual Blessings spring.

3 O who is like, Lord, unto Thee, thy Beauty doth exceed; Thy Glory is so infinite; in Thee's all things we need: 4 There's none thy Glory can set forth, yet thou dost condescend To be the Bridegroom of our Souls, our Joy, our God, our Friend.
