4 O may thy grace ftill chear my heart!
And fhed its fragrance there!
The nobleft balm of all its wounds,
The cordial of its care.

5 I'll speak the honours of thy name
With my last lab'ring breath;
When fpeechlefs, clafp thee in my arms;
My joy in life and death!

COME

OME let us join our chearful fongs With angels round the throne; Ten thousand thousand are their tongues, But all their joys are one.

2 "Worthy the Lamb that dy'd," they cry, To be exalted thus ;

"Worthy the Lamb," our lips reply, For he was flain for us.

3 JESUS is worthy to receive

Honour and pow'r divine;

And bleffings more than we can give,
Be, LORD, for ever thine.

4 Let all that dwell above the sky,
And air, and earth, and feas;

Confpire to lift thy glories high,
And speak thine endless praife.

5 Let all creation join in one,
To blefs the facred name

Of him, that fits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.

HYMN 58.

CHRIST OUR WISDOM.

How heavy is the night,

That hangs upon our eyes;

Till CHRIST with his reviving light,
Upon our fouls arife?

2 Our guilty fpirits dread

To meet the wrath of heav'n;
But in his righteousness array'd,
We see our fins forgiv'n.

3 Unholy and impure

Are all our thoughts and ways His hands infected nature cure, With fanctifying grace.

4 The pow'rs of hell agree

To hold our fouls, in vain;

He fets the fons of bondage free,
And breaks the curfed chain.

5 LORD, we adore thy ways,

To bring us near to GoD;

Thy fov'reign pow'r, thy healing grace,
And thine atoning blood.

HYMN

CHRIST'S COMPASSION TO THE TEMPTED.

IWITH joy we meditate the grace
Of our High priest above;

His heart is made of tendernefs,
His bowels melt with love.

2 Touch'd with a fympathy within,
He knows our feeble frame;
He knows what fore temptations mean,
For he hath felt the fame.

3 He in the days of feeble flefh.
Pour'd out strong cries and tears;
And in his measure feels afresh
What ev'ry member bears.

4 He'll never quench the fmoaking flax, But raise it to a flame; The bruifed reed he never breaks,

Nor fcorns the meaneft name.

5 Then let our humble faith addrefs
His mercy and his pow'r;
We shall obtain deliv'ring grace
In the diftreffing hour.

HYMN 60.

LOVE.

HAPPY the heart where graces reign,
Where love infpires the breaft;

Love is the brightest of the train,
And perfects all the reft.

2 Knowledge, alas! 'tis all in vain,
And all in vain our fear;

Our stubborn fins will fight and reign, If love be absent there.

3 'Tis love that makes our chearful feet
In fwift obedience move;
The devils know, and tremble too;
But Satan cannot love.

4 This is the grace that lives and fings,
When faith and hope fhall cease;
'Tis this fhall ftrike our joyful strings,
In the sweet realms of bliss.

ནྱ

5 When join'd to that harmonious throng, That fills the choirs above;

Then fhall we tune our golden harps,
And ev'ry note be love.

HYMN 61.

LIGHT IN DARKNESS.

MY

Y GOD, the fpring of all my joys,
The life of my delights;

The glory of my brightest days,
And comfort of my nights!

2 In darkest fhades if thou appear,
My dawning is begun!

Thou art my foul's bright morning-star,
And thou my rifing fun.

3 The op'ning heav'ns around me shine
With beams of facred blifs,
When JESUS fhews his mercy's mine,
And whispers, I AM HIS.

4 My foul cou'd leave this heavy clay,
At that transporting word;
Run up with joy the fhining way
To meet and praise my LORD.

5 Fearlefs of hell and ghastly death,
I'd break thro' ev'ry foe;

The wings of love, and arms of faith,
Shail bear me conqu'ror through.
