| Perpetual Motion with perpetual Song | D |
| On which the Blest in Symphonies ascend | E |
| And towards the Throne with Vocal ardours bend | E |
| To Radial light o'erspreading Boundless space | F |
| To the safe Goal of our well ended race | F |
| To shelter where the weary shall have rest | G |
| And where the wicked never shall molest | G |
| To that Jerusalem which ours below | H |
| Did but in type and faint resemblance shew | I |
| To the first born and ransom'd Church above | J |
| To Seraphims whose whole composures love | J |
| To active Cherubins whom wings surround | K |
| Not made to rest tho' on imortal ground | K |

| Ambrosial dews distilling from their plumes | M |
| Scattering where e'er they pass innate perfumes | M |
| To Angells of innumerable sorts | N |
| Subordinate in the etherial Courts | N |
| To Men refin'd from every gross allay | O |
| Who taught the Flesh the Spirit to obey | O |

| Do now possess what long they did persue | N |
| To Jesus founder of the Christian race | N |
| And kind dispenser of the Gospell grace | N |
| Bring me my God in my accomplish't time | P |
| From weakness freed and from degrading crime | P |
| Fast by the Tree of life be my retreat | Q |
| Whose leaves are Med'cin and whose fruit is meat | Q |
| Heal'd by the first and by the last renew'd | R |
| With all perfections be my Soul endued | R |
| My form that has the earthly figure borne | S |
| Take the Celestial in its Glorious turn | T |
| My temper frail and subject to dismay | O |
| Be stedfast there spiritualiz'd and gay | O |
| My low Poetick tendency be rais'd | U |

| Till Dryden's numbers for Cecilia's feast | V |
| Which sooth depress inflame and shake the breast | G |
| Vary the passions with each varying line | W |
| Allow'd below all others to outshine | W |
| Shall yeild to those above shall yeild to mine | W |
| In sound in sense in emphasis Divine | W |
| Stupendious are the heights to which they rise | N |
| Whose anthems match the musick of the skies | N |
| Whilst that which art we call when studied here | X |
| Is nature there in its sublimest sphere | Y |
| And the pathetick now so hard to find | Z |
| Flows from the gratefull transports of the mind | Z |
| With Poets who supernal voices raise | N |
| And here begin their never ending layes | N |
| With those who to the brethren of their Lord | A2 |
| In all distress a warm relief afford | A2 |
| With the Heroick Spirits of the brave | B2 |
| Who durst be true when threatn'd with the Grave | B2 |
| And when from evil in triumphant sway | O |
| Who e'er departed made himself a prey | O |
| To sanguine perils to penurious care | C2 |
| To scanty cloathing and precarious fare | C2 |
| To lingring solitude exhausting thoughts | N |
| Unsuccour'd losses and imputed faults | N |
| With these let me be join'd when Heaven reveals | N |
| The judgment which admits of no appeals | N |
| And having heard from the deciding throne | D2 |
| Well have ye suffer'd wisely have ye Done | E2 |
| Henceforth the Kingdom of the blest is yours | N |
| For you unfolds its everlasting doors | N |
| With joyfull Allelujahs let me hail | F2 |
| The strength that o'er my weakness cou'd prevail | F2 |
| Upheld me here and raised my feeble clay | O |
| To this felicity for which I pray | O |
| Thro' him whose intercession I implore | G2 |
| And Heaven once enter'd prayer shall be no more | G2 |
| Loud acclamations shall its place supply | H2 |
| And praise the breath of Angells in the sky | H2 |
