Religion

The Father's delight Shall surely be ours
Who taste in His right 'J'he heavenly powers.
Who saved by the merit Of Jesus's blood
Lay claim to the Spirit And fulness of God.

The grace of our Head His members receive.
The Spirit is shed On all that believe.
With Jesus the favour Of God we regain,
And join'd to our Saviour Eternally reign.
