H. 43. The JOYES of HEAVEN.
Rev. 22. 14, 3,
BLessed are they whose only strife
is Gods good Laws to do:
That they may tast the tree of life,
and have a right thereto.
And that they may have entrance in,
into the City-gate,
There, where the curse that came from sin
can bear no longer date.
4.
But there the throne of God shall be,
and Christ the Lambs high throne:
And there his servants shall be free
to serve the holy One.
And they shall see his blessed face,
and his most glorious Name
Upon their sore heads shall have place.
his Image to proclaim.
5.
And there there shall ensue no night,
(as if their day were done:)
Nor have they need of candle-light,
or shining of the Sun.

For God the Lord (from whom it springs▪)
shall give them light on high:
And they shall reign, as crowned Kings,
to all Eternity.
