But of a greater guest than ever came that way:
For there he lay
That is the God of Night and Day,
And over all the pow'rs of Heaven doth reign.
It was the time of great Augustus Tax,
And then he comes
That pays all sums,
Even the whole price of lost Humanity.
And sets us free
From the ungodly Empirie
Of Sin, and Satan, and of Death.
O make our hearts, blest God, thy lodging-place,
And in our brest
Be pleas'd to rest;
For thou lov'st Temples better than an Inn:
And cause that sin
May not profane the Deity within,
And fully o're the ornaments of Grace.
Amen.
