1 THe News is good, Christ shed his Blood, Our peace is made in Heaven; 2 And now He's gone, up to His Throne, All Power to him is given. 3 Shall Sin or Hell, God's People quell, Or ever keep them under; 4 Lo, Christ hath dy'd, Sin Crucified, And Hell-Bars rent assunder. 5 Our Glorie's great, we are Compleat, In Gods Free-Love we stand; 6 We are on High, Exalted by Christs own Victorious Hand. 7 We once were Lost, to Hell did Post, But God in Mercie Found us; 8 And now he hath, taught us Lifes Path, And with his Glory Crownd us. 9 The Blood of Christ, our Great High-Priest, Which once for us was Shed; 10 Hath Purg'd the Blot, and Cleans'd the Spot, Wherewith we were bespread. 11 A Glorious Change, a Wonder Strange, That Sin should not Defile; 12 And those appear, as Christ, most Dear, Who once did seem so Vile. 13 All things Behind, are out of Mind, The Saints are made Divine; 14 Fixt in the Love, of God above, In Glory they do shine. 15 None are so Dear, nor yet so Near, With God they are made One; 16 Who now doth see them such to be, As is his onely Son.
17 Christ is our Guide, we cannot Slide, Or ever Fall away; 18 Our State is sure, and must indure, Though all things else decay. 19 Then let's be Bold, our Heads uphold, The Time is drawing nigh; 20 Where we shall Reign, and eak Remain, With Christ Eternally. 21 Let all Base Fears, and Needless Cares, Out of our Mind remove; 22 With speed let's flye, to God on High, And dwell with him above. 23 Where we shall be from all Fears Free, Which here do us Annoy; 24 And then Possest of Perfect Rest, In our Dear Saviours Joy. 25 Which to Obtain, let us Remain, Doing our Fathers Will; 26 Waiting the day, when He shall say, Come, Children, Take your Fill. 27 All is your own, to Feast upon, Your Father hath to give; 28 Your Glass is Run, your Work is Done, In Pleasure you shall Live. 29 No more Dejected, Faith's * Neglected, To which now bid Fare-well; 30 And Welcome Love, that Grace above, Which onely doth Excel. *That is in Hea- ven 31 Now Faith doth Cease, Love shall Increase, In Fulness of Degree; 32 By which we shall, appear to all, Perfect, like Christ to be.
