How boundless was his Love.

And fill his Grace prevails.

PSALM CIII.

Blefs the Lord, my Soul,

Let all within me join,

And join my Tongue to blefs his Name,
Whofe Favours are Divine.

O blefs the Lord, my Soul,
Nor let his Mercies lie
Forgotten in unthankfulness,
And without Praises Die.

'Tis he forgives thy Sins,
'Tis he relieves thy Pain;
'Tis he that heals thy Sickneffes,
And makes thee young again.

He crowns thy Life with Love,
When ranfom'd from the Grave;

He that redeems our Souls from Hell,
Hath fov'reign Pow'r to save.

He fills the Poor with good,

He gives the Suff'rers Reft;

The Lord hath Judgments for the Proud,

And Justice for th' oppreft.

His wond'rous Works and Ways,

He made by Mofes known;

But fent the World, his Truth and Grace,

By his beloved Son.

CXXXIX,

To Chrift.

EAR Jefus who can
Sufficiently Praise,

In Lifes narrow span,
Thy wonderful Grace;
O pardon us freely,

Thro' Faith in thy Blood,
And now let us feel thee,

Declare thy Renown,
While Seraphs delight,
Thy Love to make known,
So great is thy Glory,.
So fearful thy Praise,
That Angels adore thee,

With Veils on their Face.

Thy Churches on Earth,
Rejoicing in Hope,
In Anthems of Mirth,
Their Voices lift up;
Their Life is in feeling,
The Work of thy Grace,
Their Joy in revealing,
And finging thy Praife,

Thrice holy art thou,
How bright is thy Throne,
O fuffer us now,

Our Souls to bow down;

Thy

Thy Love in Creation,
While Angels proclaim,
We fing thy Salvation,
O Jefus the Lamb.

Thy Power into each Heart,

Upon the prefent Water move,
And Light and Life impart.

Baptifm is an Ordinance,
Appointed by thy Word,
Which we embrace and follow thee,
Our condescending Lord.

Baptize this Soul with Fire of Love,
That shall deftroy all Sin,
Poffefs the Heart with thy rich Grace,
And make and keep it clean.

Lord, let this Soul die unto Sin,
And rife to praise thy Name,
Glory and triumph in the Lamb,
Thro' whom all Mercies came.
