Hosanna

No more shall Walls, no more shall Walls confine
That glorious Soul which in my Flesh doth shine:
No more shall Walls of Clay or Mud,
Nor Ceilings made of Wood,
Nor Crystal Windows, bound my Sight,
But rather shall admit Delight.
The Skies that seem to bound
My Joys & Treasures,
Of more endearing Pleasures
Themselvs becom a Ground:
While from the Center to the utmost Sphere
My Goods are multiplied evry where.

The Deity, the Deity to me
Doth All things giv, & make me clearly see
The Moon & Stars, the Air & Sun
Into my Chamber com:
The Seas & Rivers hither flow,
Yea, here the Trees of Eden grow,
The Fowls & Fishes stand,
Kings & their Thrones,
As 'twere, at my Command;
God's Wealth, His Holy Ones,
The Ages too, & Angels all conspire:
While I, that I the Center am, admire.

No more, No more shall Clouds eclyps my Treasures,
Nor viler Shades obscure my highest Pleasures;
No more shall earthen Husks confine
My Blessings which do shine
Within the Skies, or els abov:
Both Worlds one Heven made by Lov,
In common happy I
With Angels walk
And there my Joys espy;
With God himself I talk;
Wondring with Ravishment all Things to see
Such Reall Joys, so truly Mine, to be.

No more shall Trunks & Dishes be my Store,
Nor Ropes of Pearl, nor Chains of Golden Ore;
As if such Beings yet were not,
They all shall be forgot.
No such in Eden did appear,
No such in Heven: Heven here
Would be, were those remov'd;
The Sons of Men
Liv in Jerusalem,
Had they not Baubles lov'd.
These Clouds dispers'd, the Hevens clear I see:
Wealth new-invented, mine shall never be.

Transcendent Objects doth my God provide,
In such convenient Order all contriv'd,
That All things in their proper place
My Soul doth best embrace,
Extends its Arms beyond the Seas,
Abov the Hevens its self can pleas,
With God enthron'd may reign:
Like sprightly Streams
My Thoughts on Things remain;
Ev'n as som vital Beams
They reach to, shine on, quicken Things, & make
Them truly Usefull; while I All partake.

For Me the World created was by Lov;
For Me the Skies, the Seas, the Sun, do mov;
The Earth for Me doth stable stand;
For Me each fruitful Land,
For Me the very Angels God made His,
And my Companions in Bliss;
His Laws comand all Men
That they lov Me,
Under a Penalty
Severe, in case they miss:
His Laws require His Creatures all to prais
His Name, & when they do't be most my Joys.
