By Faith we see the Glory,
To which thou fhalt reftore us,
The Crofs despise
For that high Prize
Which thou haft fet before us.
And if thou count us worthy,
We each, as dying Stephen,
Shall fee thee ftand
At God's right Hand,
To take us up to Heav'n.
EJOICE, the Lord is King;
Your Lord and King adore,
Mortals, give Thanks, and fing
And triumph evermore :
Lift up your Heart, lift up your Voice,
Rejoice, again I fay, rejoice.
Jefus the Saviour reigns,
The God of Truth and Love, When he had purg'd our Stains,
He took his Seat above:
Lift up your Heart, lift up your Voice,
Rejoice, again I fay, rejoice.
His Kingdom cannot fail,
He rules o'er Earth and Heav'n,
The Keys of Death and Hell
Are to our Jefus giv'n:
up your Heart, lift up your Voice,
ce, again I fay, rejoice,
He fits at God's right Hand
Till all his Foes fubmit,
And bow to his Command,
And fall beneath his Feet:
Lift up your Heart, lift up your Voice,
Rejoice, again I fay, rejoice,
Rejoice in glorious Hope,
Jefus the Judge fhall come,
And take his Servants up
To their eternal Home :
We foon fhall hear th' Arch-Angel's Voice,
The Trump of God fhall found Rejoice!
Little Children, love one another.
IVER of Concord, Prince of Peace,
Meek, Lamb-like Son of God,
Bid our unruly Paffions cease,
O quench them with thy Blood.
Us into clofeft Union draw,
And in our inward Parts
Let Kindness sweetly write her Law,
Let Love command our Hearts.
O let thy Love our Hearts conftrain,
Jefus the Crucified!
What haft thou done our Hearts to gain,
Languifh'd, and groan'd, and died!
Who would not now pursue the Way
Where Jefu's Footsteps fhine?
Who would not own the pleafing Sway
Of Charity divine?
O let us find the antient Way,
Our wondring Foes to move,
And force the Heathen World to say,
"See how thefe Chriftians love!
OME, and let us sweetly join
C to praife in
Give we all with one Accord,
Glory to our common Lord:
Strive we, in Affection ftrive,
Let the purer Flame revive,
Such as in the Martyrs glow'd,
Dying Champions for their God.
Sing we then in Jefu's Name,
Now, as Yesterday the fame;
One in ev'ry Age and Place,
Full of Love, of Truth, and Grace.
Chrift is now gone up on high,
(Thither may our Wishes fly):
S ts at God's right Hand above,
There with him we reign in Love!
ARTNERS of a glorious Hope, Lift your Hearts and Voices up: Jointly let us rife and fing,
Chrift our Prophet, Prieft, and King.
Monuments of Jefa's Grace,
Speak we by our Lives his Praife;
Walk in him we have receiv'd,
Shew we not in vain believ'd.
While we walk with God in Light,
God our Heart's doth ftill unite ;
Deareft Fellowship we prove,
Fellowship of Jefu's Love:
Sweetly each with each combin'd,
In the Bonds of Duty join'd.
Feels the cleanfing Blood apply'd.
Daily feels that Christ hath dy'd.
Still, O Lord, our Faith increase,
Cleanfe from all Unrighteousness;
Thee, th' unholy cannot fee;
Make, O make us meet for, thee!
Ev'ry vile Affection kill,
Free our Souls from every Ill;
Conquer ev'ry inbred Sin,
Write thy Law of Love within.
Hence may all our Actions flow,
Love the Proof that Chrift we know ;
Mutual Love the Token be,
Lord, that we belong to thee!
Love thy Image, Love impart,
Stamp it fully on each Heart;
Only Love to us be giv❜n,
Lord, we afk no other Heav'n.
Hear, and our Petitions feal,
Let us now the Answer feel :
Myftically one with thee,
Tranfcript of the Trinity;
Thee let all our Nature own,
One in three, and three in one:
Build us in one Body up,
Call'd in one high Calling's Hope;
One the Spirit whom we claim,
One the pure baptifmal Flame,
One the Faith, and common Lord,
One the Father lives ador'd.
Over, thro' and in us all,
God incomprehenfible.
One with God, the Source of Blifs,
Ground of our Communion this;
Life of all that live below,
Let thy Emanations flow;
Rife eternal in our Heart,
Thou our only Eden art;
Father, Son and Holy Ghoft,
Be to us what Adam loft.
USBAND of thy Church below,
Chrift, if thee our Lord we know,
Unto thee betroth'd in Love,
Always faithful let us prove,
Never rob thee of our Heart,
Never give the Creature Part;
Only thou poffefs the Whole,
ake our Body, Spirit, Soul.
