2. Open, LORD, my inward Ear,
And bid my Heart rejoice,
Bia my quiet Spirit hear

Thy comfortable Voice,
Never in the Whirlwind found,

Or where Earthquakes rock the Place; St.ll, and filent is the Sound,

The Whisper of Thy Grace.

3. From the World of Sin, and Noife,
And Hurry I withdraw,
For the fmall and inward Voice

I wait with humble Awe.

Silent am I now, and ftill,

Dare not in Thy Prefence move;

To my waiting Soul reveal

The Secret of Thy Love,

4. Thou haft undertook for Me, For me to Death waft fold; Wisdom in a Mystery

Of bleeding Love unfold; Teach the Leffon of Thy Cross, Let me die with Thee to reign, All Things let me count but Lofs So I may Thee regain.

5. Shew me, as my Soul can bear The Depth of Inbred Sin,

All the Unbelief declare,

The Pride that lurks within:

Take me, whom Thyfelf haft bought,

Bring into Captivity

Every high afpiring Thought

That would not stoop to Thee.

6. LORD, my Time is in Thy Hand,
My Soul to Thee convert,

Thou canst make me understand,
Though I am flow of Heart.

The THREE CHILDREN in the Fiery Furnace.

G

OD of Ifrael's Faithful Three,
Who brav'd a Tyrant's Ire,
Nobly fcorn'd to bow their Knee,
And walk'd unhurt in Fire;
Breath their Faith into my Breast,
Arm me in this Fiery Hour,
Stand, Son of Man! confeft
In all Thy Saving Power.

2. Lo! on Dangers, Deaths, and Snares-
I every Moment tread,
Hell without a Veil appears,

And flames around my Head';
Sin increases more and more,
Sin in all its Strength returns,
Seven Times hotter than before
The Fiery Furnace burns.

3. But while Thou, my LORD,.art nigh

My Soul difdains to fear,

Sin and Satan I defy

Still impotently near;

Earth and Hell their Wars may wages

Calm I mark their vain Design,

Smile to see them idly rage
Against a Child of Thine.

4. Unto Thee,. my Help, my Hope;
My Safeguard, and my Tower,
Confident I still look ups

י

And still receive Thy Power. All the Alien's Hofts I chafey

Blaft, and scatter with mine Eyes;

Satan comes; I turn my Face,
And lo! the Tempseerflies!
