24
And of all sins made freely clean;
But then when thus she was possest,
And looked back on all her fears;
And that she was come to her rest,
Free'd from all sins, and all her tears,
She from her head did take the crown,
Giving all praise to Christ on high,
And at his feat she laid it down,
For that the Lamb had made her free.
Now doth she sing triumphantly,
And shall rejoice for evermore,
O'er death and hell victoriously,
With lasting pleasures laid in store.
CONCLUSION
Of wife or Beith I make an end,
And do these lines with this conclude,
Let none their lives in sin now spend,
But watch and pray, be doing good,
Despondent souls do not despair,
Repent, and still believe in Christ,
His mercies, which last for evermore,
Will save the souls that in him trust,
FINIS.
