Isaiah 60:21: Thy people' also shall be all righteous, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
In that millennial church below
From every spot and wrinkle freed,
Thy people pure and white as snow,
Thy saints shall all be saints indeed;
Not one unrighteous soul is found,
Where Jesus doth His throne maintain,
But perfected in love, and crown'd
With life, they all for ever reign.
For I who to My promise stand.
Will bid the righteous branch arise,
The work of Mine almighty hand,
The plants prepared for paradise:
They here shall to perfection grow.
To show how angels serve above.
My wisdom, power, and truth to show,
My richest grace, and utmost love.
