Heaven is a place also a state	A
It doth all things excel	B
No man can fully it relate	A
Nor of its glory tell	B
	-
God made it for his residence	C
To sit on as a throne	D
Which shows to us the excellence	C
Whereby it may be known	D
	-
Doubtless the fabric that was built	E
For this so great a king	F
Must needs surprise thee if thou wilt	E
But duly mind the thing	F
	-
If all that build do build to suit	G
The glory of their state	A
What orator though most acute	G
Can fully heaven relate	A
	-
If palaces that princes build	H
Which yet are made of clay	I
Do so amaze when much beheld	H
Of heaven what shall we say	I
	-
It is the high and holy place	J
No moth can there annoy	K
Nor make to fade that goodly grace	J
That saints shall there enjoy	K
	-
Mansions for glory and for rest	H
Do there prepared stand	H
Buildings eternal for the blest	H
Are there provided and	H
	-
The glory and the comeliness	J
By deepest thought none may	I
With heart or mouth fully express	J
Nor can before that day	I
	-
These heav'ns we see be as a scroll	L
Or garment folded up	M
Before they do together roll	L
And we call'd in to sup	M
	-
There with the king the bridegroom and	H
By him are led into	H
His palace chambers there to stand	H
With his prospect to our view	H
	-
And taste and smell and be inflam'd	H
And ravished to see	J
The buildings he hath for us fram'd	H
How full of heaven they be	J
	-
Its state also is marvellous	J
For beauty to behold	H
All goodness there is plenteous	J
And better far than gold	H
	-
Adorn'd with grace and righteousness	J
While fragrant scents of love	N
O'erflow with everlasting bliss	J
All that do dwell above	N
	-
The heavenly majesty whose face	J
Doth far exceed the sun	O
Will there cast forth its rays of grace	J
After this world is done	O
	-
Which rays and beams will so possess	J
All things that there shall dwell	B
With so much glory light and bliss	J
That none can think or tell	B
	-
That wisdom which doth order all	P
Shall there be fully shown	D
That strength that bears the world there shall	Q
By every one be known	D
	-
That holiness and sanctity	J
Which doth all thought surpass	J
Shall there in present purity	J
Outshine the crystal glass	J
	-
The beauty and the comeliness	J
Of this Almighty shall	Q
Make amiable with lasting bliss	J
Those he thereto shall call	P
	-
The presence of this God will be	J
Eternal life in all	P
And health and gladness while we see	J
Thy face O immortal	R
	-
Here will the Lord make clear and plain	S
How sweetly did agree	J
His attributes when Christ was slain	S
Our Saviour to be	J
	-
How wisdom did find out the way	I
How strength did make him stand	H
How holiness did bear the sway	I
And answer just demand	H
	-
How all these attributes did bend	H
Themselves to work our life	T
Through the Christ whom God did send	H
To save us by his might	H
	-
All this will sparkle in our eye	U
Within the holy place	J
And greatly raise our melody	J
And flow our hearts with grace	J
	-
The largest thought that can arise	J
Within the widest heart	H
Shall then be filled with surprize	J
And pleas'd in every part	H
	-
All mysteries shall here be seen	V
And every knot unty'd	H
Electing love that hid hath been	W
Shall shine on every side	H
	-
The God of glory here will be	J
The life of every one	O
Whose goodly attributes shall we	J
Possess them as our own	D
	-
By wisdom we all things shall know	X
By light all things shall see	J
By strength too all things we shall do	H
When we in glory be	J
	-
The Holy Lamb of God also	X
Who for our sakes did die	H
The holy ones of God shall know	X
And that most perfectly	J
	-
Those small and short discoveries	J
That we have of him here	Y
Will there be seen with open eyes	J
In visions full and clear	Z
	-
Those many thousand acts of grace	J
That here we feel and find	H
Shall there be real with open face	J
Upon his heart most kind	H
	-
There he will show us how he was	J
Our prophet priest and king	F
And how he did maintain our cause	J
And us to glory bring	F
	-
There we shall see how he was touch'd	H
With all our grief and pain	S
As in his word he hath avouch'd	H
When we with him shall reign	S
	-
He'll show us also how he did	H
Maintain our faith and love	N
And why his face sometimes he hid	H
From us who are his dove	N
	-
These tempting times that here we have	A2
We there shall see were good	H
Also that hidden strength he gave	B2
The purchase of his blood	H
	-
That he should stand for us before	C2
His Father thus we read	H
But then shall see and shall adore	C2
Him for his gracious deed	H
	-
Though we are vile he without shame	D2
Before the angels all	P
Lays out his strength his worth and name	D2
For us who are in thrall	P
	-
This is he who was mock'd and beat	H
Spit on and crown'd with thorns	J
Who for us had a bloody sweat	H
Whose heart was broke with scorns	J
	-
'Tis he who stands so much our friend	H
As shortly we shall see	J
With open face world without end	H
And in his presence be	J
	-
That head that once was crown'd with thorns	J
Shall now with glory shine	E2
That heart that broken was with scorns	J
Shall flow with life divine	E2
	-
That man that here met with disgrace	J
We there shall see so bright	H
That angels can't behold his face	J
For its exceeding light	H
	-
What gladness will possess our heart	H
When we shall see these things	J
What light and life in every part	H
Will rise like lasting springs	J
	-
O blessed face and holy grace	J
When shall we see this day	H
Lord fetch us to this goodly place	J
We humbly do thee pray	H
	-
Next to this Lamb we shall behold	H
All saints both more and less	J
With whit'ned robes in glory roll'd	H
'Cause him they did confess	J
	-
Each walking in his righteousness	J
With shining crowns of gold	H
Triumphing still in heav'nly bliss	J
Amazing to behold	H
	-
Each person for his majesty	J
Doth represent a king	F
Yea angel like for dignity	J
And seraphims that sing	F
	-
Each motion of their mind and so	X
Each twinkling of their eye	H
Each word they speak and step they go	X
It is in purity	J
	-
Immortal are they every one	O
Wrapt up in health and light	H
Mortality from them is gone	F2
Weakness is turn'd to might	H
	-
The stars are not so clear as they	H
They equalize the sun	O
Their glory shines to perfect day	H
Which day will ne'er be done	O
	-
No sorrow can them now annoy	K
Nor weakness grief or pain	S
No faintness can abate their joy	K
They now in life do reign	S
	-
They shall not there as here be vex'd	H
With Satan men or sin	W
Nor with their wicked hearts perplex'd	H
The heavens have cop'd them in	W
	-
Thus as they shine in their estate	H
So too in their degree	J
Which is most goodly to relate	H
And ravishing to see	J
	-
The majesty whom they adore	C2
Doth them in wisdom place	J
Upon the thrones and that before	C2
The angels to their grace	J
	-
The saints of the Old Testament	H
Full right to their degree	J
Likewise the New in excellent	H
Magnificency be	J
	-
Each one his badge of glory wears	J
According to his place	J
According as was his affairs	J
Here in the time of grace	J
	-
Some on the right hand of the Lamb	G2
Likewise some on the left	H
With robes and golden chains do stand	H
Most grave most sage and deft	H
	-
The martyr here is known from him	H2
Who peaceably did die	H
Both by the place he sitteth in	W
And by his dignity	J
	-
Each father saint and prophet shall	Q
According to his worth	I2
Enjoy the honour of his call	P
And plainly hold it forth	J2
	-
Those bodies which sometimes were torn	K2
And bones that broken were	L2
For God's word he doth now adorn	K2
With health and glory fair	M2
	-
Thus when in heav'nly harmony	J
These blessed saints appear	Z
Adorn'd with grace and majesty	J
What gladness will be there	M2
	-
The light and grace and countenance	J
The least of these shall have	A2
Will so with terror them advance	J
And make their face so grave	B2
	-
That at them all the world will shake	N2
When they lift up their head	H
Princes and kings will at them quake	N2
And fall before them dead	H
	-
This shall we see thus shall we be	J
O would the day were come	O2
Lord Jesus take us up to thee	J
To this desired home	P2
	-
Angels also we shall behold	H
When we on high ascend	H
Each shining like to men of gold	H
And on the Lord attend	H
	-
These goodly creatures full of grace	J
Shall stand about the throne	D
Each one with lightning in his face	J
And shall to us be known	D
	-
These cherubims with one accord	H
Shall cry continually	J
Ah holy holy holy Lord	H
And heavenly majesty	J
