The Saint’s Inheritance. 2 Cor 7. 1; 1 Pet. 1. 4

1 Perfect holiness of spirit,
  Saints above, full of love,
  With the Lamb inherit.

2 This inheritance, believer,
  Faith alone makes thy own,
  Safe and sure for ever.

3 True, ’twas thine from everlasting,
  But the bliss of it is
  Known to thee by tasting.

4 Though thou here receive but little;
  Scarce enough for the proof
  Of thy proper title;

5 Urge thy claim through all unfitness;
  Sue it out, spurning doubt;
  The Holy Ghost’s thy witness.

6 Cite the will of his own sealing;
  Title good, signed with blood,
  Valid and unfailing.

7 When thy title thou discernest,
  Humbly then sue again
  For continual earnest
