5. Full of Concupifcence and Pride,
Fit Fuel for Eternal Fire,
With Virtuous Shew I ftrive to hide
The Baseness of impure Defire ;:
Conceal'd it lies, if not fuppreft;
The Devil blufhes for the Beast.

6. I ftart from the Contempt of Men,
But shameless in His Sight appear
By whom my every Thought is seen ;
My Heart is harden'd from His Fear,
Nor care I from His View to hide
My fouleft Filthiness of Pride.

7. O What a loathfome Hypocrite
Am I! A Child of Wrath and Sin,,
An Heir of Hell, a Son of Night,
An Outward Saint, a Fiend within,
A painted Tomb, a Whited Wall,
A Worm, a Sinner stript of All.

8. Lay to Thy. Hand,

GoD of Grace,.

O GOD, the Work is worthy Thee;
See at Thy Feet of all our Race
The Chief, the vileft Sinner see,.
And let me all Thy Mercy prove,
Thy Utmoft Miracle of Love..

9. Speak; and an holy Thing and clean
Shall strangely be brought out of Me,
My Ethiop-Soul fhall change her Skin,.
Redeem'd from All Iniquity,

I, even I fhall then proclaim,

The Wonders wrought by JESU's Name.

10. Thee I fhall then forever praise,
In Spirit and in Truth adore,
While all I am declares Thy Grace,
And born of GOD I fin no more,

The

The pure and Heavenly Nature fhare,
And Fruit unto Perfection bear.

SAVIOU

PART IV.

AVIOUR from Sin, I wait to prove
That JESUS is Thy Healing Name,
To love, when perfected in Love,
Whate'er I have, or Can, or Am;
I ftay me on Thy faithful Word,
The Servant fhall be As his LORD.

2. Answer that gracious End in me
For which Thy precious Life was given,
Redeem from All Iniquity,

Reftore, and make me meet for Heaven;
Unless Thou purge my Every Stain,
Thy Suffering, and my Faith is vain.

3. 'Tis not a bare Release from Sin,
Its Guilt and Pain, my Soul requires,
I want a Spirit of Power within,

Thee, JESUS, Thee my Heart defires,
And pants, and breaks to be renew'd,
And wash'd in Thy All-cleanfing Blood.

4. Didft Thou not in the Flefh appear,
Sin to condemn, and Man to fave?
That perfect Love might caft out Fear,
That I Thy Mind in me might have,
In Holiness fhew forth Thy Praife,.
And ferve Thee all my finless Days.

5. Didft Thou not die, that I might live
No longer to Myself, but Thee?
Might Body, Soul, and Spirit give

To Him who gave Himself for Me? Come then, my Mafter and my GOD, Take the dear Parchafe of Thy Blood..

6. Thine

6. Thine own peculiar Servant claim
For Thine own Truth and Mercy's Sake,
Hallow in me Thy Glorious Name,
Me for Thine own this Moment take,
And change, and throughly purify:
Thine only may I live, and die.

We have not an High-Prieft which cannot be touched with the Feeling of our Infirmities, &c. Heb. iv. 15.

[ocr errors]

Compaffionate High-Prieft,

Full of Truth and Grace for me,
Mark the Heavings of my Breaft,
See my Sin and Mifery

Surely All to Thee is known
Tho' Thou doft not yet appear,
Noted is my every Groan,
Counted is my every Tear.

2. I have not a Priest unmov'd
With the Feeling of my Woe,
Who Himself was never prov'd,
Who my Sufferings cannot know
Touch'd moft fenfibly Thou art
With my Soul's Infirmities,
Still the Saviour's gentle Heart.
Doth with Sinners fimpathize.

3. Tho' He now triumphant reigns,
Still as in His Days of Flesh,
All His Agonies and Pains

In our Souls He feels afresh :
Tho' exalted to a Throne,

Thou doft in our Sorrows fhare,

Thou haft not forgot Thine own:
Thine own Flesh and Blood we are..

4. Friend of Sinners, in Thy Heart,
Tell me, doth there not remain.
One unarm'd and tender Part,.
Capable of Human Pain?
LORD, I wait for the Reply:
Groan an Answer from within,
Tell me, Comforter, that I,
I fhall be redeem'd from Sin.

5. Hoping againft Hope I wait
For Redemption in Thy Blood:
Help me in my loft Estate,

Take away my heavy Load,
Save me from this Tyranny,
O bring near the joyful Hour,
From All Sin my Spirit free,

All the Guilt, and all the Power.

6. Grant, O grant my laft Request, Nothing do I afk befide,

Only give my Spirit Reft,

Reft from Self, and Reft from Pride;
Bring into Thy Perfect Peace,

Give me Faith to enter in,
Let me with Thy People cease
From my own dead Works of Sin.

7. Power I want, a Conftant Power
My own Evil to eschew,

Till my Heart Can fin no more,
Till I am a Creature New ;
Let me in Thy Wounds abide,
Till the Perfect Grace is given;
Give me This, I ask befide
Nothing or in Earth or Heaven.
