Esu, All Power is given to Thee,
Command our inward Parts,

Till Thou the Veil remove,
Open, enlarge, and melt them down."
By Thy Victorious Love.

3. Thee, at Thy Word, we come to meet,
And humbly to confefs,
While lowly proftrate at Thy Feet, a':
Our utter Sinfulness.

4. O let us faithfully obey
The Counsel of Thy Will,
And each to each our Faults difplay,
Our every Thought reveal.

5. Our Fig-leaves all be caft afide,
Let no Self-foothing Art

Conceal the Luft, t' indulge the Pride
Of a foul Hellish Heart.

6. Open a Window in our Breast,
That Each our Heart may fee,

And let no Secret be fuppreft,
Since all are known to Thee.

7. Remove the Sins which we declare,
The Burthen of our Soul,

And hear the mutual faithful Prayer,
And make the Sinner whole.

8. To All, thro' Faith which is in Thee,
A perfect Soundness give,
And let us from All Sin fet free
The Life of JESUS live.

And fhew our fore Disease.

2. GOD of our Health, in Thy great Name
We now perform Thy Will,

Regard our Prayer, admit our Claim,
Our fin-fick Spirits heal.

Which we no longer hide,

Our Filthiness of Flesh we own,
Our Filthinefs of Pride.

To Thee we now confefs,
Cleanfe us, O faithful GoD, and juft,
From All Unrighteousness.

The Praise and Glory give,
The Greatnefs of Thy Power proclaim
To us ward who believe.

We will affert Thy Power,

And Witness to a World of Foes,
That we Can fin no more.

Baptife into Thy Name,
And let us always kindly think,

And sweetly speak the fame.

And ever towards each other move,

And ever more towards Thee.

For Thy own Mercy's Sake.

Till all this Strife and War within
In perfect Peace shall end.

Curb, and keep down my Will,
Appetites and Paffions chide,
And bid the Sea Be still.

Nor let

6 Prifoner of Hope, I wait the Hour
Which shall Salvation bring,
When all I am shall own Thy Power,
And call my JESUS King.

And more than Victory.

And meek and pure my Heart.

What shall I more require? restless be,

That ftill my Soul may

And only Thee defire.

This laft Defire submit,

And lye, till Thou feeft good to fave,
Expecting at Thy Feet.
