-2 With joy the Father does approve The fruit of his eternal love;

The Son with joy looks down, and sees
The purchase of his agonies.

3 The Spirit takes delight to view
The holy soul he form'd anew
o And saints and angels join to sing
The growing empire of their King.

The Beatitudes. Matt. v, 2—12.

LEST are the humble souls, who see Their emptiness and poverty; o Treasures of grace to them are given, And crowns of joy laid up in heaven. a 2 Blest are the men of broken heart, Who mourn for sin with inward smart; -The blood of Christ divinely flows, A healing balm for all their woes. e 3 Blest are the meek, who stand afar From rage and passion, noise and war; o God will secure their happy state,

And plead their cause against the great. e 4 Blest are the souls who thirst for grace, Hunger and long for righteousness;

o They shall be well supply'd and fed, With living streams and living bread. a 5 Blest are the men, whose bowels move, And melt with sympathy and love; -From Christ, the Lord, shall they obtain Like sympathy and love again.

e 6 Blest are the pure, whose hearts are clean From the defiling power of sin;

o With endless pleasure, they shall see
A God of spotless purity.

e 7 Blest are the men of peaceful life,
Who quench the coals of growing strife;
o They shall be call'd the heirs of bliss,
The sons of God, the God of peace.
-8 Blest are the suff'rers, who partake
Of pain and shame for Jesus' sake;
u Their souls shall triumph in the Lord;
g Glory and joy are their reward.

Maintain the honour of his word,
The glory of his cross.

His name is all my trust:

Nor will he put my soul to shame,
Nor let my hope be lost.

And he can well secure

What I've committed to his hands,
Till the decisive hour.

Before his Father's face;
And in the New Jerusalem
Appoint my soul a place.

Heaven. 1 Cor. ii, 9, 10; Rev. xxi, 27.

Reveals a heaven to come:

Allure and guide us home.

Can see or taste the bliss.

Pollution, sin, and shame;

There all their names are found.

To tread the heavenly ground.

Dead to Sin, by the Cross of Christ. Rom. vi, 1—6.

Fall and Recovery of Man. Gen. iii, 1, 15, 17; Gal. iv, 4; Col. ii, 15.

DE

ECEIV'D by subtle snares of hell,
Adam, our head, our father, fell!
When Satan, in the serpent hid,
Propos'd the fruit that God forbid.

e 2 Death was the threat'ning; death began
To take possession of the man;
His unborn race receiv'd the wound,
And heavy curses smote the ground.

-3 But Satan found a worse reward: Thus saith the vengeance of the Lord, o 'Let everlasting hatred be

'Betwixt the woman's Seed and thee.

4 The woman's Seed shall be my Son; 'He shall destroy what thou hast done :'Shall break thy head, and only feel 'Thy malice raging at his heel.'

-5 He spake and bade four thousand years
Roll on; at length his Son appears:
s Angels with joy descend to earth,
And sing the young Redeemer's birth.
p 6 Lo, by the sons of hell he dies;
But, as he hung 'twixt earth and skies,
o He gave their prince a fatal blow,
u And triumph'd o'er the powers below.

And when we taste thy love,

Our joys divinely grow

Unspeakable, like those above,

And heaven begins below.

Of all the duties I have done;

I quit the hopes I held before,
To trust the merits of thy Son.
2 Now, for the love I bear his name,
What was my gain, I count my loss;
My former pride I call my shame,
And nail my glory to his cross.
3 Yes, and I must and will esteem
All things but loss for Jesus' sake;

O may my soul be found in him,
And of his righteousness partake!

Dares not appear before thy throne;
But faith can answer thy demands;
By pleading what my Lord has done
