2. Who my Misery can relate,
My Depth of Woe reveal?
I have left my first Estate,
In hapless Adam fell:
Driven out of my Abode
I now have loft my Perfect Blifs,
Fallen, fallen out of GoD,
And banish'd Paradise.

3. I am all unclean, unclean,
Thy Purity I want,

My whole Heart is fick of Sin,
And my whole Head is faint:
Full of putrifying Sores,

Of Bruifes, and of Wounds, my Soul
Looks to JESUs; Help implores,
And gafps to be made whole.

4. In the Wilderness I stray,
My foolish Heart is blind,
Nothing do I know; the Way
Of Peace I cannot find;

JESU, LORD, reftore my Sight,
And take, O take the Veil away,
Turn my Darkness into Light,
My Midnight into Day.

5. Naked of Thine Image, LORD,
Forfaken, and alone,
Unrenew'd, and unreftor'd

I have not Thee put on :
Over me Thy Mantle spread,
Send down Thy Likeness from above,
Let Thy Goodness be difplay'd,
And wrap me in Thy Love.

6. Poor, alas! Thou know'ft I am,

And would be

poorer ftill,

See my Nakedness, and Shame,

And all my Vileness feel:

No

No Good Thing in me refides, My Soul is all an an aching Void, Till Thy Spirit here abides, And I am fill'd with God.

7. JESU, full of Truth and Grace,
In Thee is all I want:
Be the Wanderer's Refting-Place,
A Cordial to the Faint;
Make me rich, for I am poor,
In Thee may I my Eden find,
To the Dying Health restore,
And Eye-fight to the Blind.

8. Cloath me with Thy Holiness,
Thy meek Humility,
Put me on my Glorious Drefs,
Endue my Soul with Thee;
Let Thy Image be reftor'd,
Thy Name, and Nature let me prove,
With Thy Fulnefs fill me, LORD,
And perfect me in Love.

"A

A Welcome to the CROSS.

LL hail the Saviour's Hallow'd Cross,
By which I daily die within!

All Things for Thee I count but Lofs,
Enter my Soul, and work out Sin;
Here let Thy Mortal Virtue move,
And crucify my Creature-Love.

2. Wither my Strength, deftroy my Will,
Stain all the Glory of my Pride,
My Appetites, and Paffions kill,

Be to my Whole of Self applied,
Implunge me in the Depth beneath,
And speak to all my Nature Death.

3. O that I now with All could part,
Cut off the Hand, pluck out the Eye!"
JESUS, Thou greater than my Heart,
Thy efficacious Death apply,

Now for Thyself prepare the Way,.
Breath, and the Sinful Adam flay,

4. Thou know'ft what keeps me out of Thee,
Naked I in Thine Eyes appear,
Reveal the Thing I would not fee,

Th' Accurfed Thing that harbours here,
O tear it hence, altho' the Smart,
The killing Anguish break my Heart:

6. Thou fee'ft, alas! I am not dead,
My Nature's Life in me is whole,
Again the Rebel lifts his Head,

And Self bears down my struggling Soul, This Thorn,, I feel it in my Side Th' unconquerable Strength of Pride:

7. Still do I live, not CHRIST but I, The Inbred Sin I groan to bear, JESU, with Thee I long to die,

The fuffering of Thy Crofs to fhare, Sweet Fellowship with Thee to have: Bury me, Saviour, in Thy Grave.

8. Then let me lay my Burthen down
In fweet Forgetfulness of Care,
The Crofs fhall bring me to the Crown,
The Dead Thy Praises fhall declare,
When all renew'd in Love I fhine,
Partaker of the Life Divine.

Shew me thy Salvation.

All the Grace Thou haft to give.

Feed a tender Sickly Plant,
Day and Night my Keeper be,
Every Moment water me.
