CANT. II. 11.
REjoice ye people of the Lords,
There is a glorious day;
There is a day will break your Cords,
And fright your Fears away:
The Winter blast is almost past;
Farwel the Rain and Flood:
Now Antichrist no more shall tast
The sweet of Martyrs blood.
There comes a Church-reviving Spring;
The Flow'rs adorn the Earth:
Page 51
The Turtles with the Birds do sing;
All hearts are full of Mirth.
A time when every Tree shall yield,
A pleasant Fruit to God:
And all the Creatures of the Field,
Shall feel no more his Rod.
Rise then, my Love, and come away,
Stand ready for the time:
Prepare thee, for this long'd for day,
And let it find thee mine.
Awake! behold, I'm at the door,
Let me not find thee sleeping:
My Spirit is up, I'le quickly put
An end to all thy weeping.
