With soft embraces it doth clasp the soul,

And watchfully all enemies control.

It enters in and doth a temple find,

Or make a living one within the mind,

That, while God's omnipresence in us lies,

His treasures might be all before our eyes:

For minds and souls intent upon them here,

Do with the Seraphim's above appear:

And are like spheres of bliss, by love and sight,

By joy, thanksgiving, praise, made infinite.
