It Is Near Thirty Years Since He

Now For My Own Case, I Bless The Lord That, For All That Hath Been Said Of Me, My Conscience Doth Not Condemn Me. I Do Not Say I Am Free Of Sin, But I Am At Peace With God Through A Slain Mediator; And I Believe That There Is No Salvation But Only In Christ.

I Wish Your Increase In Holiness, Number, Love, Religion, And Righteousness; And Wait You, And Cease To Contend With These Men That Are Gone From Us, For There Is Nothing That Shall Convince Them But Judgment.

Go On, Then, And Let Your Intent Be Seriousness.

It Is Long Since I Could Have Adventured On Eternity, Through God's Mercy And Christ's Merits; But Death Remained Somewhat Terrible, And That Now Is Taken Away; And Now Death Is No More To Me, But To Cast Myself Into My Husband's Arms, And To Lie Down With Him.

Fear Not; And The God Of Mercies Grant A Full Gale And A Fair Entry Into His Kingdom, Which May Carry Sweetly And Swiftly Over The Bar, That You Find Not The Rub Of Death.
