"Where Souls departed are;
"Nor quit my Body to the Grave
"To see Corruption there.

"And raise me to thy Throne:
"Thy Courts immortal Pleasure give,
"Thy Presence Joys unknown."
4 [Thus in the Name of Christ, the Lord,
The holy David sung;
And Providence fulfils the Word
Of his prophetick Tongue.
5 Jesus, whom every Saint adores,
Was crucify'd and slain;
Behold the Tomb its Prey restores,
Behold he lives again.
6 When shall my Feet arise and stand
On Heav'n's eternal Hills?
There sits the Son at GOD's Right-hand,
And there the Father smiles.] Scripture: Psalm 16 Languages: English
