O All-sufficient ONE, Wilt thou supply My Wants from Stores of rich Immensity? Shall Boundless Wisdom for my Good Contrive? And Boundless Power, the Fruits of Goodness Give? Shall Spotless Holiness on me Imprint, An Holy Temper, with thine Image in't? Lord, Thy Perfections all I do adore, And to a Perfect Love my mind would soar.
O All-sufficient ONE, Wilt thou supply My Wants from Stores of rich Immensity? Shall Boundless Wisdome for my Good Contrive? And Boundless Power, the Fruits of Goodness Give?

A State of Bliss according to thy Word Thou wilt unto thy Chosen Ones afford. A State of Blissful Rest and Joy, wherein Raised from the Dead, they shall be freed from Sin. There Bathed in Rivers of Eternal Joy, No Sorrows more shall them at all annoy.
