Richard Baxter: Piercing Heaven – Puritan’s Prayers

Lord, I yield. I am overcome; O blessed conquest!

Go on victoriously, and still prevail, and triumph in your love. This captive of love will proclaim your victory when you lead me in triumph from earth to heaven, from death to life, from the tribunal to the throne.

I will acknowledge that you have prevailed, and all will say, Behold, how he loved him!

Let neither life nor death, nor anything separate me from your love! Keep me in the fullness of love forever.

Amen.
