Edition notes: The source gives the parts in the order Tenor - Alto - Treble - Bass (labelled as such in the first piece in the book). The treble and bass parts are bracketed together, with small notes between them to fill in the harmony of a keyboard part doubling the voices. This accompaniment has been omitted from the present edition. Only the first verse of the text is underlaid in the source: three subsequent verses have been added editorially.

Happy the souls to Jesus join'd,
And sav'd by grace alone:
Walking in all his ways they find
Their heav'n on earth begun.

The church triumphant in thy love,
Their mighty joys we know;
They sing the Lamb in hymns above,
And we in hymns below.

Thee in thy glorious realm they praise,
And bow before thy throne,
We, in the kingdom of thy grace;
The kingdoms are but one.

The holy to the holiest leads,
From thence our spirits rise;
And he that in thy statutes treads
Shall meet thee in the skies.
