2 Corinthians 5:5: Who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)
Religion
Come, Thou beatific Spirit,
Earnest of the joys above,
Taste of what the saints inherit,
Author of seraphic love!
When Thou unto me art given,
Full of immortality,
Sure I am to dwell in heaven,
Sure that heaven dwells in me.
