Trample on his precious Blood?"
No! with all our Sins we'd part,
SAVIOUR, give a broken + Heart!
IS done! th' atoning Work is done!
JESUS the great REDEEMER dies!
All Nature feels th' important Groan:
Loud echoing thro' the Earth and Skies ;
The Earth doth to her Center quake,
And Heav'n as Hell's deep Gloom is black!
II.
The Temple's Veil is rent in twain,
While JESUS meekly bows his Head,
The Rocks refent his inortal Pain,.
The yawning Graves give up their Dead,
The Bodies of the Saints arife,
Reviving as their SAVIOUR dies.
III.
And fhall not we his Death partake,
In fympathetic Anguish groan?
O SAVIOUR let thy Paffion thake
Our Earth, and rend our Hearts of Stone !
To fecond Life, our Souls reftore,
And wake us that we fleep no more!
Heb. vi. 6. + If. lxi, 1.

Whole Love is ever new.
Endlefs Scenes of Wonder rife
With that mysterious Tree,
Crucify'd before our Eyes
Where we our Maker fee:
JESUS, LORD, what haft Thou done!
Publish we the Death Divine,
Stop, and gaze, and fall, and own,
Never was Love like Thine!
III.
Never Love nor Sorrow was
Like that our JESUS fhew'd;
See him ftretch'd on yonder Cross
And crufh'd beneath our Load!

My God that fuffers there!`
LORD we blefs Thee for thy Grace,
And Truth which never fail,
Haft'ning to behold thy Face,
Without a dimming Veil?

To that bloody Sacrifice,AT

To the full Atonement made,'
To the utmoft Ranfom paid.
To the Blood that speaks above,
Calls for thy forgiving Love:
To the Tokens of his Death,
Here exhibited beneath.
Hear his Blood's prevailing Cry,
Let thy Bowels then reply;
Then thro' him the Sinner fee,
Then in JESUS look on Me!

By thy pard'ning Love compell'd
Up to Thee our Souls we raife,
Up to thee our Bodies yield..

While we die to Thee alone.

In thy bleffed Service jom

LL Praise to the LORD, all Praife is his To-day is his Word of Promise found (true; We, we are the Nations prefented to GOD, Well-pleafing Oblations thro' JESUS's Blood.
Poor Gentiles from far to JESUS we came, And offer'd we are to GoD thro' his Name; ToGOD thro' the Spirit ourselves may we give, While fav'd by the Merit of JESUS we live.
UR Lives our Blood we here prefent,
If for thy Sake they may be spent,
Fulfil thy fov'reign Counfel, LORD,

Then let Men fcorn, and Satan roar ;
Thy faithful Witneffes we'll be ;
'Tis fix'd-We can do all through Thee
