How great was thy Love,
How wond'rous thy Grace !
Thou cam'ft from above
To fave a loft Race;
And, Man to deliver,
Of Mary waft born,
That ev'ry Believer

To God might return.

How foon will thy Seat
Of Judgment appear?
Prepare us to meet

And welcome Thee there!

Thy witneffing Spirit

In us fhed abroad,

And bid us inherit

The Kingdom of God.

Praife to Chrift.

AIL thou once despised Jefus !
Hail thou Galilean King

Who didft fuffer to releafe us,
Who didft free Salvation bring!
Hail thou univerfal Saviour,

Who haft born our Sin and Shame, By whofe Merits we find Favour, Life is given thro' thy Name!

Pafchal Lamb by God appointed,
All our Sins on Thee were laid,
By Almighty Love appointed,

Thou haft full Atonement made;

Ev'ry Sin may be forgiv❜n,

Thro' the virtue of thy Blood, Open'd is the Gate of Heaven,

Peace is made 'twixt Man and God.

Jefus Hail! enthron'd in Glory,
There forever to abide !

All the Heavenly Hofts adore Thee,
Seated at thy Father's fide:
There for Sinners thou art pleading,
"Spare them yet another Year"
Thou for Saints art interceding,
Till in Glory they appear.

Worship, Honour, Power and Bleffing,
Chrift is worthy to receive,
Loudeft Praises without ceafing,

Meet it is for us to give,

Help, ye bright angelic Spirits,

Bring your sweeteft, nobleft Lays,

Help to fing our Jefu's Merits,

Help to chaunt Emmanuel's Praise.

HYMN

CCXXXII.

Imploring for God's Protection,

Ever-living Priest,

We Sinners come to thee;

Deny not our Request,

We've no where else to flee;

We ask thee, Lord, to ftand between

Offended God, and finful Men..

When

When Tempefts from above,
Arife for broken Laws,
Thou fource of tender Love,
Espouse the Sinners Cause;
Stand in the Gap, and turn away
The Wrath we merit every Day.

Avert impending Wrath

Nor let thy favour'd Land,
A Victim fall beneath

The Judgment of thy Hand';
Help us, O Lord, to Watch and Pray,
Nor let us fin thy Grace away.

HYMN

CCXXXIII.

For Great Britain.

Sinful Britain, now Repent,
Your Hearts before Jehovah rent,

Turn from your Sins, and you fhall prove
That God is ftill a God of Love.

How long will ye in Darkness dwell?
And walk fo near the brink of Hell,
When Jefus calls, why will you Die?
And Perish everlastingly?

Sinners, obey the Gospel call,
At Jefu's Feet for Mercy fall;
His Arms of Love will you embrace,
The Vileft of the fallen Race.

Let

every one that thirfteth, come To Jefu's Arms, for there is room; Repent, and in his Name believe, And you, Forgiveness fhall receive.

The fame.

OW fhall we addrefs thy Throne,
O thou high and lofty One,

Merit we have none to bring,
But a Saviour's Blood we fing.

Lord, we are a treach'rous Race!
Long have we abus'd thy Grace!
Long have trampled on the Blood
Of our agonizing God.

Monuments of thy Free Grace,
We adore thy fearchlefs Ways;
We admire, and well we may !
How we're fpar'd from Day to Day!

Former Favours now excite
Us, thy Mercy to invite;
Abba, Father, hear our Pray'r,
Once again for us appear.

HYMN

CCXXXV.

On a Faft-Day.

UR Saviour, our God,
We pray thee attend,

And fhew thyself now
The Proteftants Friend:
By tafting thy Goodness,

We evermore find,
Thou, to the unthankful,
Art Gracious and Kind.

Arife, O our God,

And scatter thy Foes,
That thirst for the Blood

Of Men, thou haft chofe;
The Peace of thy Zion,
They fain would disturb,
Arife, Judah's Lion,
Their Fury to curb.

Remember the Land,

Which thou doft delight, To guard with thy Hand, By Day and by Night: Remember the Nation,

To which thou haft given, The News of Salvation,

By Chrift brought from Heaven.

We own we've abus'd

Thy Mercy and Grace,
And fadly mifus'd

The Days of our Peace:
But let the Rod's shaking
Convert us, O God,
And lead us to wash, in
Thy Son's precious Blood.

HYMN

CCXXXVI.

The fame.

Righteous God, thou Judge fupreme!
We tremble at thy dreadful Name,

And all our crying Guilt we own,
In Duft and Tears before thy Throne.
