Summary

Sweet Infancy!

O Hevenly Fire! O Sacred Light!

How fair and bright!

How Great am I

Whom the whol World doth magnify!

O hevenly Joy!

O Great and Sacred Blessedness

Which I possess!

So great a Joy

Who did into my Arms convey?

From God abov

Being sent, the Gift doth me enflame

To prais his Name;

The Stars do mov,

The Sun doth shine, to shew his Lov.

O how Divine

Am I! To all this Sacred Wealth,

This Life and Health,

Who rais'd? Who mine

Did make the same! What hand divine!
