Thy Humane Frame, with Beauty Dapled, and In Beds of Graces pald with golden layes, Lockt to thy Holy Essence by thy hand, Yields Glances that enflame my Soul, that sayes Oh! that thou wast on Earth below with mee! Or that I was in Heaven above with thee. All Love in God, and's Properties Divine Enam'led are in thee: thy Beauties Blaze Attracts my Souls Choice golden Wyer to twine About thy Rose-sweet selfe. And therefore prayes Oh! that thou wast on Earth below with mee! Or, that I was in Heaven above with thee. A Magazeen of Love: Bright Glories blaze: Thy Shine fills Heaven with Glory; Smile Convayes Heavens Glory in my Soule, which it doth glaze All ore with amoring Glory; that she sayes, Oh! that thou wast on Earth below with mee! Or, that I was in Heaven above with thee! Heavens Golden Spout thou art where Grace most Choice Comes Spouting down from God to man of Clay. A Golden Stepping Stone to Paradise A Golden Ladder into Heaven! I'l pray Oh! that thou wast on Earth below with mee Or that I was in Heaven above with thee. Thy Service is my Freedom Pleasure, Joy, Delight, Bliss, Glory, Heaven on Earth, my Stay, In Gleams of Glory thee to glorify. But oh! my Dross and Lets. Wherefore I say Oh! that thou wast on Earth below with mee: Or that I was in Heaven above with thee. If off as Offall I be put, if I Out of thy Vineyard Work be put away: Life would be Death: my Soule would Coffin'd ly, Within my Body; and no longer pray Oh! that thou wast on Earth below with mee: But that I was in Heaven above with thee. But I've thy Pleasant Pleasant Presence had In Word, Pray're, Ordinances, Duties; nay, And in thy Graces, making me full Glad, In Faith, Hope, Charity, that I do say, That thou hast been on Earth below with mee. And I shall be in Heaven above with thee. Be thou Musician, Lord, Let me be made The well tun'de Instrument thou dost assume. And let thy Glory be my Musick plaide. Then let thy Spirit keepe my Strings in tune, Whilst thou art here on Earth below with mee Till I sing Praise in Heaven above with thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GOD'S DETERMINATIONS: THE JOY OF CHURCH FELLOWSHIP RIGHTLY ATTENDED by EDWARD TAYLOR GOD'S DETERMINATIONS: THE PREFACE by EDWARD TAYLOR PREPARATORY MEDITATIONS, 1ST SERIES: 1 by EDWARD TAYLOR PREPARATORY MEDITATIONS, 1ST SERIES: 32 by EDWARD TAYLOR PREPARATORY MEDITATIONS, 1ST SERIES: 38 by EDWARD TAYLOR PREPARATORY MEDITATIONS, 1ST SERIES: 8 by EDWARD TAYLOR PREPARATORY MEDITATIONS, 2D SERIES: 3 by EDWARD TAYLOR PREPARATORY MEDITATIONS, 2D SERIES: 56 by EDWARD TAYLOR GOD'S DETERMINATIONS: CHRIST'S REPLY by EDWARD TAYLOR GOD'S DETERMINATIONS: THE JOY OF CHURCH FELLOWSHIP RIGHTLY ATTENDED by EDWARD TAYLOR |
