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 for ever

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
there i shall have thee in christ;
here is a life of longing and prayer
there is -ssurance without suspicion
asking without refusal;

here are gross comforts, more burden
than benefit
there is joy without sorrow
comfort without suffering
love without inconstancy
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, p-ssion
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
