In which Thou causeft me to truft;
Give me the meek and lowly Mind,
And lay my Spirit in the Duft.

When all renew'd by Grace I am,

When Thou haft emptied me of Sin,
Shew me the Fulness of my Shame.

Difplay Thy Glory from above,
And all I am fhall fink, and die,
Loft in Aftonishment and Love.

All Glory be to CHRIST MY LORD!)

Now let me into Nothing fall!

Be less than Nothing in Thy Sight,
And feel that CHRIST is All in All.

Shake off thy guilty Fears,

For me to interceed,

His pretious Blood to plead ;

His Blood aton'd for All our Race,
And fprinkles now the Throne of Grace.

Receiv'd on Calvary;

They pour effectual Prayers, They strongly speak for me; Forgive him, O forgive, they cry, Nor let that Ranfom'd Sinner die!

His dear Anointed One,

The Prefence of His Son:

And tells me, I am born of GOD.

His Pard'ning Voice I hear,
He owns me for His Child,
I can no longer fear;

With Confidence I now draw nigh,
And Father, Abba Father, cry!
