O Lord
I live here as a fish in a vessel of water
Only enough to keep me alive
But in heaven I shall swim in the ocean
Here I have a little air in me to keep me breathing
But there I shall have sweet and fresh gales
Here I have a beam of sun to lighten my darkness
A warm ray to keep me from freezing
Yonder I shall live in light and warmth forever
My natural desires are corrupt and misguided
And it is Thy mercy to destroy them
My spiritual longings are of Thy planting
And Thou wilt water and increase them
Quicken my hunger and thirst after the realm above
Here I can have the world
But there I shall have Thee in Christ
Here is a life of longing and prayer
There is assurance without suspicion
Asking without refusal
Here are gross comforts
More burden than benefit
There is joy without sorrow
Comfort without suffering
Love without inconstancy
And rest without weariness
Give me to know that heaven is all love
Where the eye affects the heart
And the continual viewing of Thy beauty
Keeps the soul in continual transports of delight
Give me to know that heaven is all peace
Where error, pride, rebellion, passion
Raise no head
Give me to know that heaven is all joy
The end of believing, fasting, praying
Mourning, humbling, watching
And lead me to it soon
I live here as a fish in a vessel of water
Only enough to keep me alive
But in heaven I shall swim in the ocean
Here I have a little air in me to keep me breathing
But there I shall have sweet and fresh gales
Here I have a beam of sun to lighten my darkness
A warm ray to keep me from freezing
Yonder I shall live in light and warmth forever
My natural desires are corrupt and misguided
And it is Thy mercy to destroy them
My spiritual longings are of Thy planting
And Thou wilt water and increase them
Quicken my hunger and thirst after the realm above
Here I can have the world
But there I shall have Thee in Christ
Here is a life of longing and prayer
There is assurance without suspicion
Asking without refusal
Here are gross comforts
More burden than benefit
There is joy without sorrow
Comfort without suffering
Love without inconstancy
And rest without weariness
Give me to know that heaven is all love
Where the eye affects the heart
And the continual viewing of Thy beauty
Keeps the soul in continual transports of delight
Give me to know that heaven is all peace
Where error, pride, rebellion, passion
Raise no head
Give me to know that heaven is all joy
The end of believing, fasting, praying
Mourning, humbling, watching
And lead me to it soon
