A Hymn upon St. John's day.
This day We sing The friend of our eternal King, Who in his bosom lay, And kept the Keys Of his profound and glorious Mysteries: Which to the world dispensed by his hand, Made it stand Fix'd in amazement to behold that light, Which came From the throne of the Lamb, To invite Our wretched eyes (which nothing else could see But fire and sword, hunger and miserie)

Page 199

T' anticipate by their ravish't sight The beauty of Celestial delight. Mysterious God, regard me when I pray: And when this load of clay Shall fall away, O let thy gracious hand conduct me up, Where on the Lamb's rich viands I may sup; And in this last supper I May with thy friend in thy sweet bosom lie For ever in Eternity.
Allelujah.
