Tis there the law is void at last,
The prophecies fulfill’d and past,
Myst’ries and ministries are o’re,
And God in scripture speaks no more:
Contemplating their Lord alone,
All things the church possess in one,
Injoy the blisful plenitude
Of God in Christ, and Christ in God.
Tis there the law is void at last
