HAT fhall we unworthy Creatures,
Render to Jehovah's Name?

Loft in Wonder, we admire

His great acts of glorious Fame:

Britons praife him, Britons praise him, &c.

Sing Hofannas to his Name.

Lord, we daily prove thy Favours,

Unto this our British Ifle,

Thou our Enemies haft scatter'd,
O continue ftill to fmile:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, &c.
God doth ftill our Ifle defend.

He preferves the British Nation,
From the Snares of Popifh Men,
Brings to Nought their many Counfels,
Makes their Efforts all prove vain :
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, &c.

God is ftill the Briton's Friend.

Let us fhew forth our thanksgiving,

By abftaining from all Sin;

Never more offend that Being,

Whofe great Kindness we have seen :
Britons love him, Britons love him, &c,

Magnify his glorious Name.

ROM Heav'n the finning Angels fell,
And wrath and darkness chain them down,
But Man! vile Man! forfook his blifs,
And Mercy lifts him to a Crown.

Amazing, Work of Sov'reign Grace,
That could diftinguish Rebels fo;
Our guilty Treafons call'd aloud,
For everlasting Fetters too.

To thee, to thee, almighty Love,
Our Souls, Ourfelves, our All we pay,
Millions of Tongues fhall found thy Praife,
On the bright Hills of heav'nly Day.

CXLIV.

The Everlasting abfence of God intolerable.

TH

HAT awful Day will furely come..
Th' appointed Hour makes hafte,
When we must ftand before the Judge,
And pass the folemn Teft,

Jefus, chief of all the Joys
That can delight the Heart;

How could we bear to hear thy Voice,
Pronounce the Sound, depart !

O may

O wretched State of deep Defpair,
To see our God remove,

And fix our doleful Station, where
We must not tafte his Love.

O may we throw our Arms around,
And hang on Jefu's Breaft:
Without a gracious Smile from thee,
How can our Spirits reft.

O tell us that our worthless Names,
Are graven on thy Hands.
Shew us fome Promife in thy Book,
Where our Salvation ftands.

Give us one kind affuring Word,
To fink our Fears again,
And chearfully our Souls fhall wait
Their Threefcore Years and Ten.

WITH chearful Voice I fing,

The titles of my Lord,

And borrow all the Names

Of Honour from his Word.
Nature and Art,

Can ne'er fupply,
Sufficient forms
Of Majefty.

In Jefus we behold,

His Father's glorious Face,

Shining

Shining for ever bright,
With mild and lovely rays;
Th' eternal God's

Eternal Son,
Inherits and

Partakes the Throne,

Immenfe Compaffion reigns,
In our Emmanuel's Heart,'
When he defcends to act,
A Mediators part;
He is a Friend

And brother too,
Divinely kind,
Divinely true.

At length the Lord ? the Judge 1
His awful Throne afcends,

And drives the Rebels far
From Favourites and Friends:
Thenfhall the Saints,
Compleatly prove

The Heights and Depths
Of all his Love.

And wash his Sins away.

Him with thy People chufe,

A Veffel fit for use.

EATH! 'tis a melancholy Day,
To thofe that have no God,

When the poor Soul is forc'd away,
To feek her last abode.

He is a God of Sov❜reign Love.
That promis'd Heaven to me,
And taught my Thoughts to foar above,
Where happy Spirits be.

Prepare me, Lord, for thy right hand,
Then come the joyful day;
Come Death, and fome celeftial Band,
And bear my Soul away.
