Preparation for Death, 21

By the Redeemer certified,
That here I have not long to live,
I wait to feel His blood applied,
Who doth for His own sake forgive.

His favour seal'd in perfect peace,
Is joy unspeakable to' obtain,
His image of true holiness,
That meetness with Himself to reign.

The Son of God reveal'd in me,
He only can my soul prepare,
Fill'd with His immortality,
To meet and grasp Him in the air.

O might I now with Jesus find
The everlasting life brought in,
And know the Saviour of mankind,
My Saviour from all fear and sin!

O might I after God wake up,
And do His will like those above,
And taste in Christ, my glorious Hope,
The' anticipated heaven of love,

Of love, of God in Christ possess'd;
And wing'd with infinite desire,
I then should enter into rest,
And face to face my Lord admire.
