Not one object of his care
Ever fuffer'd fhipwreck there.
See the haven full in view!
Love divine fhall bear thee through.
Trust to that propitious gale:
Weigh thy anchor, fpread thy fail.
6 Saints, in glory perfect made,
Wait thy paffage through the fhade :
Ardent for thy coming o'er,
See, they throng the blifsful fhore.
Mount, their tranfports to improve:
Join the longing choir above:
Swiftly to their with be giv'n:
Kindle higher joy in heav'n.

-Such the profpects that arise,
To the dying Chriftian's eyes!
Such the glorious vifta, Faith
Opens through the fhades of death!
