On true Devotion
From Mid-night and Daily Thoughts (1694)
Religion
When true Devotion is our chief delight,
We may presume, 'tis pleasing in God's sight,
And to our Souls; will sacred Bliss reveal,
To fix and to eternalize our Zeal;
And while we live, our blessed thoughts direct,
To the Seraphick Joys of God's Elect.
And will by our Adoption when we dye,
Declare the glory of that dignity.
