Shout in the midst of us, O King
Of Saints, and let our Joys abound,
Let us rejoice, give Thanks, and fing,
And triumph in Redemption found::
We afk in Faith for every Soul;
O let our glorious Joy be full.

With Joy upon our Heads return,
And far above these nether Skies
By Thee on Eagle's Wings upborn,
Thro' all yon radiant Circles move,
And gain the Higheft Heaven of LovE.

Thy Promifes bind Thee Compaffion to have,
Now, now let me find Thee Almighty to fave.

While yet I am calling, Thy Succour. I feel,

His Foes overturning, Till all fhall expire;
But this is with Burning, And Fewel of Fire.

My JESUS his Love, The Battle fhall win,
So terribly G'oious His Coming fhall be,
His Love all victorious Shall conquer for Me.

Habakkuk iii. 17, 18, 19.

·A

WAY my Unbelieving Fear!

Fear fhall in me no more have place;
My Saviour doth not yet appear,
He hides the Brightness of His Face:
But fhall I therefore let Him go,
And bafely to the Tempter yield?
No, in the Strength of JESUS, no!
I never will give up my Shield.

2. Altho' the Vine it's Fruit deny,
Altho' the Olive yield no Oil,
The withering Fig-tree droop and die,
The Field illude the Tiller's Toil,
The empty Stall no Herd afford,

And perish all the Bleating Race,
Yet will I triumph in the LORD,
The GoD of my Salvation praise.

3. Barren altho' my Soul remain,
And no one Bud of Grace appear,
No Fruit of all my Toil and Pain,
But Sin, and only Sin is here;
Altho' my Gifts, and Comforts loft,
My blooming Hopes cut off I fee,

Yet will I in my Saviour truft,
And Glory, that He died for Me.
