Now from blifs no longer rove,
Stop and taste Redeeming Love !]

V.

Welcome all by fin oppreft,
Welcome to your Saviour's breast.
Nothing brought Him from above,
Nothing but Redeeming Love!

VI.

He subdu'd th' infernal pow'rs,
His tremendous foes and ours,
From their curfed empire drove,
Mighty in Redeeming Love!

VII.

Hither then your music bring,
Strike aloud each joyful string;
Mortals join the hosts above,
Join to praise Redeeming Love!

V. Praife to the Almighty Saviour. 11S.

I

I.

Long for a concert of heavenly praise, To Jefus the God, the omnipotent Son! My voice fhould awake in harmonious lays, Could it tell half the wonders that Jefus has done.

II.

I'd fing, how he left his own palace of light, With robes made of glory, that dreft him above: Yet pleas'd with his journey, and fwift was his flight;

For he fled on the pinions of infinite love.

III.

All hell and it's lions stood roaring around, His flesh and his Spirit with malice they tore ; While whole worlds of forrow lay preffing him down,

As vaft as the burden of guilt which he bore.

IV.

Then mention no more of the wrath of a God! Of the lions of hell, and their roaring, no more! We lift up our eyes to His fhining abode, And our loudeft hofannahs his name fhall adore.

V.

We crown the Triumpher, with th' honours

he won:

Hofannah, through all the celestial groves! The God and the man, how he fills up his throne!

How he fits, how he fhines, how he looks, how he loves!

VI.

O happy ye heavens, and happy ye hills;
He treads with his feet, and diffufes his grace!
While mercy and majefty, glories and fmiles,
Play gently around the sweet air of his face.

VII.

Amidft the full choir of archangels and fongs, The mighty Redeemer eternally reigns: Whilft the found of his name from a million of tongues,

Flies o'er the bright mountains, and blesses the plains.

VI. Salvation in Chrift. P. M.

LE

I.

ET earth and heav'n agree,
Angels and men be join'd,

To celebrate with me

The Saviour of mankind!

T'adore the great atoning Lamb,
And bless the found of Jefu's name,

II.

Jefus! tranfporting found!
The joy of earth and heav'n;

No other help is found,
No other name is giv❜n,

By which we can falvation have;
But Jefus came the world to fave.

III.

Jefus! harmonious name!

It charms the hofts above;
They evermore proclaim,

And wonder at his love:

'Tis all their happiness to gaze,
'Tis heav'n to see our Jefu's face,

IV.

His name the finner hears, And is from guilt fet free: 'Tis mufic in his ears,

'Tis life and victory:

New fongs do now his lips employ,
And dances his glad heart for joy.

VII. God praifed by Univerfal Nature. C.M.D.

I.

PRAISE ye the Lord, ye immortal choir,

That fill the realms above:

Praise him who form'd you of his fire,
And feeds you with his love:

Shine to his praise ye crystal skies,
The floor of his abode,

Or veil in fhades your thousand eyes,
Before your brighter God.

II.

Thou reftless globe of golden light,
Whose beams create our days,
Join with the filver queen of night,
To own your borrow'd rays:
Winds, ye shall bear his name aloud,
Through all th' ethereal blue;
For when his chariot is a cloud,
He makes his wheels of you.

[ocr errors]

Shout to the Lord, ye furging feas,
In your eternal roar:

Let wave to wave refound his praise,
And fhore reply to fhore.
Thunder, and hail, and fire, and storms,
The troops of his command,
Appear in all your dreadful forms,
And speak his awful hand.

IV.

Wave your tall heads, ye lofty pines,
To him that bids you grow:
Sweet clusters bend the fruitful vines,
On ev'ry thankful bough :
