Abhor what's ill, and truth efteem;

Deep in your faithful breafts record,
And with your thankful tongues confefs.

Supreme o'er earthly pow'rs.

Before his footftool fall;

Thence to his courts devoutly prefs; And still your grateful hymns repeat, And still his name with praises bless.

God's holy name for ever blefs;

Of all his favours mindful prove,
And ftill thy grateful thanks exprefs.

Above this little spot of clay;
So much his boundless love tranfcends
The small refpects that we can pay.

So far has he our fins remov'd,
Who with a father's tender breaft,
Has fuch as fear'd him always lov'd.
