The Fruit, the Foliuge and tho Tree,
From Culvary's summit you cun sec;
Its branches strong. extending wide, &. o..
Where ut the sons Of men abide.
There the Streams Of Life do flow
Fast by the Throne OF God we know;
Their wuters bring to life the dead-
All those for whom His blood was shed
Twelve kinds Of Fruit are growing there
Upon the Tree of Life most fair;
The Christian, he alone can SEQ
The City, River and the Tree.
IT'S he alone can tuste nnd know
The kinds of Fruit that on it grow;
Faith, with Cody sorrow, he,
Remission by Immersion free.
New hope springs up within the mind,
The joys in prospect we shall find;
Here perfect Love forever dwell,
And shall all Earth and Heaven fill.
Virtue and knowledge here are found
In richest clusters ull around:
temperance, Patience 20! how sweet l.
The wants of all prepared to meet.
GodlinesS-fruit so rich, so mild
Is suited 10 the very child;
Brothery ktndneSs,-O! how fuir,-
Grows in rich abundance tlIore.
o Charity, thou blessed boon,
'Tis by this Fruit the Tree IS boSt known;
And those who use this fruit aright,
Beneath its shade will take delight.
The City, River and the Tree
In the new Heaven and Earth we SEE
1t is the Souls first kind retreat,
Where Father, Sou and Spirit meet.
Celestial streams from Gods bright Throne,
More Glorious than in Eden known
1t rises high, and flows all round,
Where e'er Il sou Of Adam 'S found,
Deluges Heaven and Earth and Sea,
And sets the sous of Adam free.
At last when ali ure suGsIy in.
A Heavenly Anthem they will sing,
And when old Time no more is found, .st
And all the Nations gathered round, 30 .~.,..
There from uiI Sin and Death set free, ~.,.l
They will all live in Chris, the Tree, 81 .
