Isaiah 66:10, 11: Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

All ye that Sion love
Rejoice in her increase,
Yourselves begotten from above
To taste her happiness;
Who wept her state decay'd,
Let every mournful soul
In her prosperity be glad
With joy for ever full:

The heavenly comforts share
With which her breasts are stored,
Draw out the milk, by faith and prayer,
I'he sweetness of the word;
With fulness of delight
Her ordinances love,
And see with her the glorious Sight,
Which makes their heaven above.
