The Poetical Works of John and Charles Wesley 160Verses 39,40

Famed for their faith, all these believed,

By justifying faith made whole:

Nor yet the promised grace received,

The CHRIST, the fulness in their soul.

A better gift He us provides,

On whom the Gospel-times are come;

And, lo the Holy Ghost abides

In us, and makes our hearts His home.

We now our elder brethren meet,

Their faith and happiness improve;

And soon with them shall shine complete

In CHRIST, and perfected in love.
