VERSO:

Come love & sweet union to thee I do call,
I want my heart fill to feel more love to yea more love to all
O come my beloved, come hasten to me,
And fill up my vessel as full as can be.
---------
Come brethren & sisters both aged and youth
And all, who are willing to walk in the truth,
Come fill up your vessels with union and love,
And on our bless journey, we'll joyfully move.
----------
When time is no more, from earth we'll remove,
To dwell in the regions of pure light & love,
With Jesus our Saviour & all holy men,
We'll ring Hallelujah, forever Amen.

1. Burst ye emerald gates and bring
To my raptured vision
All the ecstatic joys, that springs
From the bright elisian,
Lo! we lift our longing eyes,
Break ye intervening skies,
Sun of righteousness arise
Ope the gates of Paradise.

2. Floods of everlasting light,
Freely flash around him,
Myriads with supreeme delight
Instantly adore him
Angelic trump resounds his fame,
Lutes of lucid gold proclaim,
All the music of his name,
Heaven echoing the theme.

RECTO

Third leaf

3.
Four and twenty Elder rise,
From their princely station,
Shout his glorious victoryies
sing the great salvation,
Cast their crowns before his throne,
Cry in reverential tone,
Glory be to God alone,
Holy, Holy, Holy one.

4. Hark! tho Thrilling Symphony
Seem, my thinks to seize us,
Join we too the holy lays,
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus;
Sweetest sound in Sepraphs songs,
Sweetest note on mortal's tongues,
Sweetest coral ever sung,
Jesus, Jesus, flows along.
