In Thee I enjoy the Protection of a King; and the rare Fidelity of a constant Friend.
In Thee I possess whatsoever I want; and thy Fulness exceeds even my utmost Desires.
Thou art, O Jesus, my God, and all Things; what can I think, or wish for more.
Already enough is said for them that love, and know the value of those preci∣ous words.
O sweet, and charming words, my God and all things! sweet in excess to those that taste them.
Not to the corrupted Palates of the World, who relish nothing but the Food of Sense.
Words that revive the fainting Mind; and fill its darkest Thoughts with Light and Joy.
O may these blessed Words dwell on my Tongue; and live for ever in my faithful Memory.
Where e're I am in this unconstant World; and whatever business entertains my Hands;
Still let my inward Eye look up to Thee; and fix its sight on thy glorious Face.

Still may I wish, and long for that happy Day; which opens to my Soul so blest a view.
Where I shall see, and no longer darkly believe, that thou, O Lord, art my God and all things.
Glory be to the Father, &c. As it was in the beginning, &c.
