I cannot in Judgment ftand:
Raife; or flay me with. Thy Breath,
Guilty I fhall feel Thy Hand,

Guilty of Eternal Death.

5. Trembling I expect my Fate,
If Thou as my Judge appear;
If Thou art my Advocate,
JESUS, What have I to fear?
JESUS is the Sinners Friend,
Sinners JESUS came to fave,
JESUS, Ion Thee depend,

Peace, and Power in Thee I have.

6. I the Golden Scepter fee
(Self-defpairing as I was)

Now, ev'n now reach'd out to me
I receive Thy Pard'ning Grace.
Of Thy Grace I cannot doubt;
Sinners to Thy Wounds who fly,
Thou in no wife wilt caft out :
Lo! I come, The Sinner I!

7. Thou shalt make me white as Snow,
Tho' my Soul be black as Hell.
Never from Thy Crofs I go,

Safe within Thy Wounds I dwell.

Other Refuge have I none,

None do I defire befide

Friend of Sinners, I am One,

Save me, who for Me haft died.

Believe in the LORD JESUs and thou shalt be faved. Acts xvi. 31.

I.

WHA

HAT fhall I do, my GoD, my GOD,
I ask in JEsu's Name.

Unfanctified, and unrenew'd

I ftill remain the fame.

2. Sin

2. Sin, only Sin in me I find;
I cannot fubject be

To thy Command; my Carnal Mind
Is Enmity to Thee."

3. But thou can't wash the Leper clean,
The Stone to Flesh Convert,

Can't make the Ethiop change his Skin,
And purify my Heart

4. Then only, when by Grace renew'd
My Will with Thine shall fuit:
O make the Tree of Nature good,
And good shall be its Fruit.

5. Iftrive in all I do to please
With endless Grief and Pain,
But cannot, LORD, from finning cease,
Till I am born again.

6. With thee my Virtue is but Vice,
My Good is Specious Ill,

'Tis Self, 'tis Nature in Difguife,

And I am Carnal still.

7. No Work of mine, or Word, or Thought
Thy Judgment can abide,

Thy Glory, LORD, I never fought,
For all my Soul is Pride.

8. What have I then wherein to truft?
How muft I come to Thee?
Foul as I am, condemn'd and loft,
Thy Son hath died for Me.

9. JESUS hath died that I might live,
Might live to GOD alone,

In Him Eternal Life receive,

And be in Spirit One.

10. Saviour

10. Saviour, I thank Thee for the Grace,
The Gift Unfpeakable,

And wait, with Arms of Faith t'embrace,
And all Thy Love to feel.

11. My Soul breaks out in ftrong Defire
The Perfect Bliss to prove,
My longing Soul is all on fire

To be diffolv'd in Love.

12. Give me Thyfelf, from every Boaft, From every With fet free:

Let all I am in Thee be loft,

But give Thyfelf to Me.

13. Thy Gifts, alas! cannot fuffice, Unlefs Thyfelf be given,

Thy Prefence makes my Paradife,

And where Thou art is Heaven.

The WOMAN of CANAAN. 1. LORD, regard my earneft Cry,

A Potfherd of the Earth,

A poor guilty Worm am I,
A Canaanite by Birth:
Save me from this Tyranny,

From all the Power of Satan fave,

Mercy, Mercy upon me

Thou Son of David have.

2. Still Thou anfwereft not a Word
To my repeated Prayer;
Hear Thy own Difciples, LORD,
Who in my Sorrows fhare,

O let them prevail with Thee
To grant the Bleffing which I crave:
Mercy, Mercy, &c.

3. Send

3. Send, O send me now away,
By granting my Request,
Still I follow Thee, and pray,
And will not let Thee rest,
Ever crying after Thee,
Till Thou my Helplefnefs relieve,
Mercy, Mercy, &c.

4. To the Sheep of Ifrael's Fold
Thou in Thy Flesh wast sent,
But the Gentiles now behold
In Thee their Covenant.
See me then, with Pity fee,

A Sinner, whom Thou cam'ft to fave;
Mercy, Mercy, &c.

5. Still to Thee, my God, I come,
And Mercy I implore,

Thee (but how fhall I prefume)
Thee trembling I adore,

Dare not stand before Thy Face,
But lowly at Thy Feet I fall,

Help me, JESU, fhew Thy Grace!
Thy Grace is free for All.

6. Still I cannot part with Thee,
I will not let Thee go,
Mercy, Mercy unto me,
O Son of David shew,
Vileft of the finful Race,
On 'Thee inportunate I call,

Help me, JESU, fhew Thy Grace,
Thy Grace is free for All.

7. Nothing am I in Thy Sight, Nothing have I to plead,

Unto Dogs it is not right

To caft the Children's Bread: Yet the Dogs the Crumbs may eat, That from their Master's Table fall, Let the Fragments be my Meat,

Thy Grace is free for All.

K

8. Give me, LORD, the Victory,
My Heart's Defire fulfil,
Let it now be done to me
According to my Will,
Give me living Bread to eat,
And fay, in Anfwer to my Call,
"Canaanite, Thy Faith is great,
"My Grace is free for All."

9. If Thy Grace for All is free,
Thy Call now let me hear,
Shew this Token upon me,

And bring Salvation near ; Now the Gracious Word repeat, The Word of Healing to my Soul, "Canaanite, thy Faith is great,

1.

Thy Faith hath made Thee whole."

The Pool of BETHESDA.

Esu, take my Sins away,

JES

And make me know Thy Name,
Thou art now, as Yesterday,

And evermore the fame :
Thou my True Bethesda be;
I know within Thy Arms is Room,
All the World may unto Thee,
Their House of Mercy, come.

2. See the Porches open wide!
Thy Mercy All may prove,
All the World is Juftified
By Univerfal Love.

Halt, and wither'd when they lie,
And fick, and impotent, and blind,

Sinners may in Thee efpy

The Saviour of Mankind.
