Matthew 25:23: His lord said unto him...enter thou into, &c

Transporting word for all that hear!
But none can hear it spoke below:
When Jesus bids His saints draw near,
They then His heavenly joy shall know:
The joy of Christ for ever bless'd
Is in His Father's bosom found:
And there we one with Christ shall rest,
ith everlasting glories crown'd.

The earnest of that joy supreme
He here doth to His saints impart:
A drop of heaven derived from Him,
Enters the true believing heart:
But entering there our happiest state,
We bathe in that unbounded sea.
Immersed in bliss Divinely great,
Implunged through all eternity.
