8. Wherefore to Thee all Honour, Praise,
Dominion, Power, and Thanks we give,
While to the Glory of Thy Grace
Through All Eternity we live.

VERSE 7.

1. Behold He comes! and Every Eye
Shall fee Him in the Clouds draw near?
The Judge, to Those who made Him die
In vain, fhall terribly appear :

2. Who pierc'd Him by their Sins beneath,
Expos'd afresh, and crucified,

Renounc'd their Interest in His Death,
And bought by Him, their LORD denied.

3. Rebellious Worms, they would not take
The Grace He waited long to give,
But caft His Words behind their Back,

And would not come to Him, and live.

4. Him fhall They fee with Wrath return, 'Gainst thofe who made His Offers vain, And all the Tribes of Earth fhall mourn, Adjudg'd to Everlasting Pain.

15. The Unbelieving World fhall wail,

[ocr errors]

And gnaw their Tongues, and gnash their
Teeth ;

But We, who let His Grace prevail,

Shall never taste that Second Death.

6. We with our LORD fhall always live, The GoD of Our Salvation praife,

To Him alone rejoice to give

The Glory of His Sovereign Grace.

7. Come,

7. Come, Gracious LORD, we wait Thy Day, We languish to be taken home; No longer let Thy Chariot stay;

Come, Gracious LORD, to Judgment come.

VERSE 10, 11, &c.

1. Say, which of You would fee the LORD? Ye All may now obtain the Grace, Behold Him in the Written Word,

Where John unveils the SAVIOUR's Face.

2. Clear as the Trumpet's Voice He speaks To every Soul that turns his Ear, Amidst the Golden Candlesticks

He walks: And lo! He now is here!

3. Present to All Believing Souls

They fee Him with an Eagle's Eye:
Down to His Feet a Garment rolls,
Stain'd with a Glorious Crimson Dye.

4. A Golden Girdle binds His Breast,
(Whence Streams of Confolation flow,
Milk for His New-born Babes, who reft
In Him, nor other Comforts know.)

5.

His Form is as the Son of Man, His Eyes are as a Flame of Fire They dart a Sin-confuming Pain, And Life, and Joy Divine infpire.

6. His Spotless Purity of Soul

We by a lovely Emblem know,
His Head, and Hairs are white as Wool,
White are they as the driven Snow.

7. Glitter His Feet like polish'd Brass,
That long hath in the Furnace fhone,
Brighter than Lightning is His Face,
Brighter than the Meridian Sun.

8. As many Waters founds His Word,
Seven Stars He holds in His Right-hand,
Out of His Mouth a two-edg'd Sword
Goes forth! Before it who can ftand?

9. LORD, at Thy Feet we fall as dead,
Lay Thy Right-hand upon our Soul,
Scatter our Fears, Thy Spirit fhed,
And all our Unbelief controul.

10. Tell us, "I am the First and Last,
"Who liv'd, and died for All, am I!
"And lo! my
bitter Death is past,

"And lo! I live no more to die.

11. "I have the Keys of Death and Hell."
Amen! Thy Record we receive,
And wait, till Thou our Spirits feal,
And All in All for ever live.

Collect Thy Flock, and give them Food,
And Paftors after Thine own Heart.

A World, who All may turn and live
Thro' Faith in Him that died for All.
