14. Their Names Thou wilt vouchfafe to own
Before Thy Father's Majefty,

Pronounce them Good, and fay "Well done,
Enter, and ever reign with me!

To the Angel of the Church in Philadelphia, ver. 7, &c.

1.

TOLY, and true, who haft the Key, Of David, full of Grace and Power, None opens what is fhut by Thee,

And none can fhut Thy Open Door.

2. O help Thy little Church, below, Noted for their Fraternal Love, Accept us in Thyself, and know

Our Souls, and all our Works approve.

3. Open a Door to preach Thy Word,
Which neither Earth or Hell can close;
Let all proclaim the Common LORD,
Who died to fave a World of Foes.

4. A little Strength Thou feeft we have, We trust that Thou art ftill the fame, Save, JESU, to the utmost fave

Thy People, who confefs Thy Name.

5. We dare not give our GoD the Lie, Saviour from Sin, we Thee receive, Though Satan's Synagogue deny,

We bere a Sinlefs Life fhall live.

6. Who falfely call Themfelves Thine own,
Shall then indignantly fubmit,

Thy mighty Hand fhall caft them down,
And make them bow before our Feet.

7. Then

7. Then All the Advocates for Sin,
The Carnal Self-elect shall know,
Thy Blood hath made us throughly clean,
And wash'd from All our Sins below.

8. Thy cleanfing Blood by Faith applied,
Gave us a Love that caft out Fear,
And lo! with All the Sanctified
We plead for a Perfection here!

9. But let us to the End endure,
Nor ever let Thy Promise go,
Till all our Hearts and Lives are pure,
And every Soul is white as Snow.

10. Let us Thy Word of Patience keep,
Nor from the Gofpel-Hope remove,
But fow in Confidence, to reap

The Harveft of Thy Perfect Love.

11. So fhall Thy Grace our Souls preserve
From fore Temptation's Fiery Hour,
When All who plead for Sin fhall swerve,
And fall, perhaps to rife no more.

12. We know Thou wilt not long delay,
Let no Seducer caft us down,

Or tear our Confidence away,

Or fpoil us of the Promis'd Crown.

13. That Crown the Conqueror here receives, Who the good Fight of Faith hath won, While without Fear, or Sin he lives,

He lives to Go D, and GoD alone.

14. Eftablish'd by Almighty Hands

He fhews forth all Thy Grace and Power, In God's Eternal Temple stands

A Pillar, and goes out no more.

15. The

15. The Name and City of Thy GOD
Thou didst to Him on Earth impart,.
And fhed'ft Thy perfect Love abroad,
And wrote Thy Nature on his Heart..

16. Thy Father here Thou didst reveal,
To Him Thou here Thyfelf haft given,
And mark'd him with the Spirit's Seal,
A Citizen and Heir of Heaven.

17. This is our Glorious Calling's Prize, Saviour, at This our Wishes aim, Reftore us to our Paradife,

Infcribe us, LORD, with Thy New Name..

18. To All whom Thou haft given an Ear, The Perfect Grace make Hafte to give, And fanctify us wholly here,

And to Thy Heaven of Heavens receive.

Unto the Angel of the Church of the Laodiceans, ver. 14, &c.

i.

A

MEN to All that God hath faid,
Witness Divine, the Juft and True,
Who wast before the Worlds were made,
Whose Being no Beginning knew ;

2. With guilty Self-condemning Fear,
With humble Self-abafing Shame,
Thy Spirit's dreadful Charge we hear,
Nor dare throw off th' imputed Blame.

3. GOD of unfpotted Purity,

Us, and our Works canft Thou behold? Juftly we are abhor'd by Thee,

For we are neither hot nor cold.

4. We call Thee LORD, Thy Faith profess,
But do not from our Hearts obey,
In foft Laodicean Eafe
We fleep our useless Lives a

away.

5. We live in Pleasures, and are dead,
In search of Fame and Wealth we live,
Commanded in Thy Steps to tread,
We feek fometimes, but never ftrive.

6. A lifeless Form we still retain,

Of This we make our empty Boast, Nor know the Name we take in vain: The Power of Godliness is loft.

7. The Power we daringly deny,
A Fancied Good, a Madman's Dream,
The Truth Itself we deem a Lie,

The Promis'd Holy Ghost blafpheme.

8. How long, great GoD, have we appear'd Abominable in Thy Sight!

Better that we had never heard

Thy Word, or feen the Gospel-Light.

9. Better that we had never known

The Way to Heaven thro' Saving Grace, Than bafely in our Lives difown

And flight, and mock Thee to Thy Face.

10. Thou rather woud'ft that we were cold, Than seem to serve Thee without Zeal,

Lefs guilty, if with thofe of old,

We worship'd Thor and Woden ftill.

11. Lefs grievous will the Judgment-Day
To Sodom and Gomorrah prove,
Than us, who caft our Faith away,
And trample on Thy Richer Love.

PART II.

1. YET YO CHRIST, as though we know Thy

ET ftill we glory in Thy Name,

Grace,

Thee with unhallow'd Lips we claim,
A lukewarm, worfe than Heathen Race.

2. We fay, that we with Goods abound,
Are rich, and full, and need no more,
Nor know that we are wretched found
With Thee, and bare, and blind, and poor,

3. O let us our own Works forfake,
Ourselves, and all we have, deny,
Thy condescending Counsel take,

And come to Thee pure Gold to buy.

4. Gold, that can bear the Fiery Teft,
And make the Buyer rich indeed;
Adorn us in the Milk-white Vest,
And over us Thy Mantle spread..

5. When this unfpotted Robe we wear,,
Our Sins are cover'd all by Thee,
No longer doth our Shame appear;
Salvation in Thy Light we fee.

6. Touch'd by an Unction from above,.
Our Eyes are open'd to perceive.
The Mystery of Redeeming Love,
The Death by which alone we live.

7. Beholding as with Open Face
The Glory of the LORD, we go

From Strength to Strength, from Grace to Grace, And perfect Holiness below.
