He and his All yea all of him, is mine His Person, offices, his Grace and Shine. The Bridsgrooms all the Brids, his all is hers. He's not partable nor by parts give out; Who hath him hath him all, all bright no blurs. He's what's hers. Or She's all him without. He faithfull to his Spouse will ever bee. He'l not bag such that to him spoused flee. Ye Daughters of Jerusalem ne'er please Your fancies with such thoughts as tell you do That you may rob me of my Lord, and seize Him for your own, oh never deale not so.

Thus you in me enjoynd shall be made bright And thus united, his Choice Spouse be made. You'll be his Bride, the Bridegrooms Great delight And thus we both shall be most True displaid. Oh!

Then my Beloved your beloved shall bee And both make him one Spouse enrichd with Grace And when dresst up in glory and bright glee Shall sing together fore his blessed face Our Weddin Songs with Angells mild * * * * * In ravishing notes throughout Eternity. | 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 |
