It grieves mee, Lord, my Fancy's rusty: rub And brighten't on an Angells Rubston sharp. Furbish it with thy Spirits File: and dub It with a live Coale of thine Altars Spark. Yea, with thy holly Oyle make thou it slick Till like a Flash of Lightning, it grow Quick. My Heart may ake to finde so bright a Theme Which brighten might even Angels wits, to bee, By my thick, Rusty Fancy and dull Veane Barbd of its brightsom sparkling Shine by mee. Quicken my Fancy Lord; and mend my Pen: To Flowerish up the same, as brightest Gem. What is thy Humane Coach thy Soule rides in, Bathing in Bright, Heart ravishing glory all In Gods Celestiall splendent Palace trim, Full of it's Fulgient Glory of that hall? And wilt thou from this glorious Palace come Again to us on earth, where Sinners throng? Methinks I see, when thou appearest thus, The Clouds to rend, and Skies their Crystall Doore Open like thunder for thy pass to us And thy Bright Body deckt with Shine all Ore Flash through the Same like rapid Lightening Waver That gilds the Clouds, and makes the Heavens Quaver. Proud Sinners now that ore Gods Children crow Would if they could creep into Augur holes, Thy Lightening Flashing in their faces so, Melts down their Courage, terrifies their Souls. Thy Rapid Lightning Flashes pierce like darts Of Red hot fiery arrows through their hearts. Now Glory to the Righteous is the Song. Their dusty Frame drops off its drossiness Puts on bright robes, doth jump for joy, doth run To meet thee in the Clouds in lightning Dress. Whose nimble Flashes dancing on each thing While Angells trumpet-musick makes them sing. Make Sanctifying Grace, my tapestry, My person make thy Lookinglass Lord, clear And in my Looking Glass cast thou thine Eye. Thy Image view that standeth shining there. Then as thou com'st like Light'ning, I shall rise In Glories Dress to meet thee in the Skies. | 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 |
