1 THy Love, O Lord, is very great
to such vile Ones as we;
Such who lay Dead in Trespasses,
are quickened by thee:

2 Thy Bounty to these Souls of ours,
who can of it conceive:
And those thou dost Regenerate
this Bounty do receive.

3. 'Tis they who are delivered
from that Forelorn Estate,
They once were in, when they lay Dead;
whose souls, Lord, did thee Hate.

4 'Tis they whose Souls united be
unto thy self, O Lord,
And have Communion too with thee,
thou dost this Grace afford.

Death can't dissolve this blessed Knot,
this union doth remain;
••t Death such do to Jesus go,
Death unto them is gain.

Well may such say unto their Souls,
Return unto your rest!
••or they at Death to Glory go,
and ly in thy Sweet Breast.

Their they do joyn with Seraphims,
in blessed Harmony,
To Sing and Celebrate thy Praise
unto Eternity.
