before_o simeon_n shall_v go_v to_o heaven_n from_o whence_o you_o may_v learn_v this_o truth_n that_o wait_v upon_o god_n be_v not_o in_o vain_a much_o time_n may_v be_v spend_v in_o it_o but_o it_o will_v not_o be_v time_n mis-spend_v god_n be_v not_o wont_a to_o send_v a_o wait_a soul_n mourn_v away_o such_o a_o one_o may_v come_v to_o god_n with_o a_o tear_n in_o its_o eye_n but_o soon_o or_o

well_o sink_v not_o under_o discouragement_n but_o let_v patience_n have_v its_o perfect_a work_n and_o do_v thou_o charge_v thy_o soul_n to_o wait_v on_o i_o be_o persuade_v before_o thou_o see_v

thyself_o with_o he_o in_o glory_n well_o simeon_n have_v wait_v long_o though_o not_o too_o long_o come_v into_o the_o temple_n which_o do_v then_o exceed_v in_o glory_n for_o there_o he_o meet_v

he_o and_o his_o heart_n do_v leap_v within_o he_o he_o never_o before_o embrace_v so_o great_a and_o glorious_a a_o object_n and_o i_o tell_v thou_o o_o christian_n who_o have_v get_v christ_n in_o thy_o heart_n and_o do_v hug_v he_o in_o the_o arm_n of_o thy_o faith_n thou_o have_v as_o much_o reason_n to_o rejoice_v as_o simeon_n do_v when_o he_o have_v he_o in_o his_o arm_n for_o it_o be_v christ_n in_o you_o the_o hope_n of_o glory_n if_o he_o be_v form_v in_o you_o you_o shall_v be_v save_v by_o he_o have_v take_v christ_n in_o his_o arm_n what_o do_v the_o good_a man_n do_v oh_o he_o bless_a god_n and_o true_o he_o have_v reason_n how_o can_v he_o be_v without_o his_o song_n when_o he_o have_v get_v he_o who_o be_v his_o strength_n and_o salvation_n we_o have_v cause_n to_o bless_v god_n for_o creature_n for_o our_o health_n strength_n estate_n and_o relation_n because_o we_o be_v less_o than_o the_o least_o of_o these_o but_o we_o have_v infinite_o more_o cause_n to_o bless_v god_n for_o christ_n because_o he_o be_v a_o gift_n of_o the_o dear_a love_n and_o of_o the_o great_a excellency_n all_o earthly_a comfort_n come_v from_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n but_o
