Olumb'ring Saints, awake, arife,
Raife from your Lamps a holy Flame,
The Bridegroom's coming with furprize,
And overwhelm the World with Shame.

Cloath'd with the Robes of Righteoufnefs,
Attend the coming of your God;
His faithful ones he will confefs,
And welcome to their bless'd Abode.

OME, guilty Souls, and flee away,
Like Doves to Jefu's Wounds,

This is the welcome Gospel-Day,
Wherein free Grace abounds,

God lov'd the World, and gave his Son
To drink the Cup of Wrath;
And Jefus fays, he'll caft out none
That come to him by Faith.

UN

We wait before the Lord,

Alas! no fweetness we can feel,
Nor catch one gracious Word.

[blocks in formation]

We hear the bleffed found
Of thy Salvation, Lord,

But ftill how weak our Faith is found,
And Knowledge of thy Word.

How feeble is our Love!

How negligent our Fear!

How low our Hope of Joys above!
How few Affections there!

How long must we attend
In this unhappy Way?

How long before our Deadnefs ends

In one eternal Day?

Great God thy Power impart,
To give thy Word Succefs;

Write thy Salvation on our Hearts,

And make us learn thy Grace.

O! fhew our Feet the way
That leads to Joys on high,

Where Knowledge grows without Decay,
And Love fhall never Die.

Lefs'd be thy Name, immortal King,
Of all the Nations, Lord,

Whofe Love provides for finful Souls,
The Cordial of thy Word.

Our

Our drowsy Pow'rs, why Sleep ye foì
Awake each fluggish Soul;
Nothing has half the Work to do,
Yet nothing's half fo dull.

The little Ants, for one poor Grain
Labour, and tug, and ftrive,
Yet we, who have a Heav'n to obtain,
How negligent we Live.

Lift up our Souls in holy Zeal,
Inflame our Breafts with Love;
Touch our cold, frozen Lips with Fire,
O thou anointing Dove.

Leave then, our Souls, the things of Earth,
With God's Affembly join;

Lo! Heav'n defcends to welcome Man
To take the things Divine.

We come, dear Saviour, lo we come!
Thou Fountain Head of Good;
Filthy we come, and all unclean,
O cleanfe us in thy Blood.

Hafte, hafte to bring us to our God,
To everlafting Reft,

To fhare with all departed Saints
The holy Marriage Feaft.

At God's right Hand thou now haft Place,
While Choirs of Angels fing thy Praise.

So dearly Bought with Jefu's Blood;

The Children of the heav'nly King.

Delight to fpread the Saviour's Name;
To him our Faith, our Hope afpire,
He fills our Hearts with heav'nly Fire.

May we our Hearts and Lips Employ
In fhewing forth his ceaseless Praife,
The Wonders of redeeming Grace.

For ever on his Throne to Reign.
