Jefus ready ftands to fave you,
Full of pity join'd with pów'r

He is able,

3.11

He is willing: doubt no more!

Let not confcience make you linger,
Nor of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness he requireth,
Is to feel your need of him :
This he gives you :

'Tis the Spirit's rifing beam.

Come, ye weary, heavy laden,
Loft and ruin'd by the fall;
If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all:
Not the righteous,

Sinners Jefus came to call.

View him proftrate in the garden;
On the ground your Maker lies!
On the bloody tree behold him ;⠀
Hear him cry, before he dies,
"It is finish'd:

Sinner, will not this fuffice

Lo, th' incarnate God afcended Pleads the virtue of his blood: Venture on him, venture wholly Let no other truft intrude; None but Jefus

Can do helpless Sinners good.

Saints and angels join'd in concert,
Sing the praises of the Lamb;
While the blissful feats of heaven
Sweetly echo with his name.
Hallelujah!

Sinners here may fing the fame.

FFLICTED faint, to Chrift draw near,

A Thy Savior's gracious promife hear;

His faithful word declares to thee,
That as thy days, thy ftrength fhall be.
Let not thy heart defpond and fay,
"How fhall I ftand the trying day?"
He has engag'd, by firm decree,
That as thy days, thy ftrength fhall be,"
Thy faith is weak, thy foes are strong;
And if the conflict should be long,
Thy Lord will make the tempter flee;"
For as thy days, thy ftrength fhall be.
Should perfecution rage and flame,
Still truft in thy Redeemer's name ;
In fiery trials thou fhalt fee,

That as thy days, thy ftrength fhall be.

When call'd to bear the weighty cross,
Or fore affliction, pain, or lofs,
Or deep diftrefs, or poverty,

Still as thy days, thy ftrength fhall be..
