Ever to stand by my command,
When Satan I let free;
My sealed number will appear,
And boldly stand for Me.
So now see clear, I tell thee here,
How every name will stand;
For all their offspring sealed are,
That now believe thy hand.
This I'll explain another time.-
But how can man so simply come,
To think that in his form

I e'er shall be reveal'd to man?
My gospel all would scorn.
"The Saviour here doth now appear;"

The Jews would instant cry,

That I a traitor was before,

And justly I did die.

"Now here's the King," would thousands sing, "And here's the Prince of Peace;"

I never did perform such thing,

To make your jarring cease.

For though my blood the victim stood,
And I the grief did bear;

If unto man I now should come,

Then man my crown must wear.

Ah, simple men, your thoughts are vain,
You plac'd me all in man:

And from the Jew, I tell you true,

Would soon be every plan:

Isaiah here they soon would clear,

The greatest prophet stood;

And Moses there, they strong would clear,
And all to man allude.

But as to ME the mystery see,

No honour I could gain ;

For if I now should come in man,
You all would this maintain;
For all my bible you'd go through
And place it all in man;

My gospel you did never know,
The way I said I'd come.

Bat now from Paul, l'il answer all

The fulness doth appear,

And per ect in the Woman's form

You all shall find my here;
For to redeem from hell and sin
The fulness now is come;
Under the lave, you all shall know,

The Woman she must stand;
A mother here she must appear
Of all the living race;
And how my bible will you clear,
Your Lord for to disgrace?
But all shall see the mystery;
The Woman here I am made,
That heirs of God you all may be.
Oh, men be not misled !

When first I came it was as man,
And of a woman born;

But as the sword went through her soul,
I now am in her form,
For to fulfil my Father's will,

And make your bliss complete;
I am the helpmate he did mean,
The mysteries all are great.
The fall of man was known to him;
If angels he betray'd,

My Father knew he'd work in man;
And so they'd be misled.
Then now you see the mystery;
I took from man a bone,
That in the end, was my intent,
His foe she should unthrone.

So now you see the mystery,
Why I the man did part;
Because the bone I took from man
Must strike the fatal dart;
For broken she shall never be;
My word I'll never break!
I made the helpmate then for he,
And now I'll make it GREAT.
For I'll appear in her so clear,
And all her foes confound,
And soon you'll see a mystery,
To ages shall resound.

For man with man I did contend,
In every age that's past;
But now 'tis drawing to an end,
I'll in the Woman burst.

As water here did man appear,
And man I will redeem;

For man with man hath ever been

Contending to this day;

And persecution ever seen,
And all in grief did lie.
Then how by man shall I begin

To bring my kingdom near?
No! it is in the woman's form,
The mysteries I shall clear;
And all my bible open wide,
I'll now give by her hand;
And all shall know 'tis by the bride
The bridegroom now shall stand.
No other way, to you I say,

Can you your Saviour prove;

No other way, to you, I say,
I'll ever shew my love.
So now see clear, the mystery here,
The Woman bore the Son;
But how can he bring in his heirs
Before the bride is come?

For just like man I've laid my plan,
And now let man appear,

And tell me how without the bride
He ever gain'd an heir?

So now see plain, ye learned men,
The field is open'd wide;

And with your foes I'll now contend,
But it shall be in the bride.

So princes here you may appear,
As I did say at first;

And as the door was open'd here,
So every truth shall burst.

For now you'll see the mystery,

My soldiers to appear,

With every weapon in their hands—
My glittering sword is near.

The victory they soon will see

In triumph to appear;

Thou'st boldly launch'd, by my command,
To bring the vision near.

So let your warlike trumpets sound

The Marriage of the Lamb;
My echo it shall back resound-
My sons and daughters come.
My sons from far shall now appear---
My daughters gladly come;
Jerusalem's low walls repair,

And build them up again."

As the world have blamed my writings, from using of simple types and shadows; I must recommend

them to their bibles, and they will see in many places, particularly in the 13th chapter of Jeremiah, 4th verse, what a simple type is used there; but the meaning was to a great purpose; and all the bible shews the same and yet, the Lord says-" In me there is no variableness, nor shadow of turning."
