Thou didst my ruin'd Soul redeem,
Thy Love fhall be my joyful Theme,
While endless Ages last.

How happy are the Souls above!
Who live in Peace, and Joy, and Love,
And all thy Glory fee:

Lord, when fhall I awake in Light?
Enjoy the beatifick Sight,

And Live and Reign with thee.

HYM N XXVI.

Prifoners of Hope. Zech. 9, 12.

E Prifoners of Hope,
Who bitterly Grieve,

To Jefus look up,
He will you receive :
Declare the Condition
And State you are in,
And Chrift the Phyfician,
Will Cure you of Sin.

Law, Confcience and Sin,
Accufe us in vain,

If we are found in

The Lamb of God flain;
There's no Condemnation
In Jefus the Lord,
But ftrong Confolation
His Love doth afford.

[merged small][ocr errors]

To Jefus returning

Your Saviour and Friend, Give over your Mourning, Sing Praise without end.

None will I caft out,

Who come, faith the Lord,
Why then do you doubt?
Lay hold of his Word!
Ye Mourners in Zion,
Be bold to believe,

For ever rely on

J

Your Saviour, and Live.

ESUS drinks the bitter Cup,
The Wine Prefs treads alone,

Tears the Graves and Mountains up,
By his expiring Groan,

Lo the Pow'rs of Heaven he shakes,
Nature in Convulfion lies,

Earth's profoundest Centre quakes,
The great Jehovah dies!

O my God! he dies for me!
I feel the Mortal Smart,
See him hanging on the Tree,
A Sight that breaks my Heart :
O that all to Thee might turn,
(Sinners, ye may love him too,)
Look on him, ye pierc'd, and Mourn
For one who bled for
you.

[ocr errors][merged small]

Weep o'er your Defire and Hope,
With tears of humbleft Love,
Sing, for Jefus is gone up,
And reigns enthron'd above,
Lives our Head to Die no more.
Pow'r is all to Jefus giv'n,
Worship'd as he was before,
Th' immortal King of Heav'n.

ESU, let thy pitying Eye,
Call back a wand'ring Sheep,

False to thee like Peter, I

Would fain like Peter weep:
Let me be by Grace reftor'd,
On me be all long-fuffering fhewn,
Turn, and look upon me, Lord,
And break
my Heart of Stone.

See me Saviour, from above,
Nor fuffer me to Die,

Life, and Happiness, and Love,
Drop from thy gracious Eye;
Speak the reconciling Word,
And let thy Mercy melt me down,
Turn and look, &c.

Look, as when thy languid Eye
Was clos'd, that we might Live,
Father, (at the point to Die,
My Saviour gafp'd) forgive:

Surely

Surely with that dying Word,
He turns, and looks, and cries, 'Tis done c
O my bleeding, loving Lord,
Thou break'ft my Heart of Stone.

E Dies the heav'nly Lover Dies,
The Tydings ftrike a doleful found
On my poor Heart-ftrings: deep he lies
In the cold Caverns of the Ground:
Come Saints, and drop a tear or two,
On the dear bofom of your God:
He fhed a thousand drops for you,
A thousand drops of richer Blood.

Here's Love and Grief beyond degree,
The Lord of Glory Dies for Men?
But lo what fudden Joys I fee !
Jefus the Dead revives again;
The rifing God forfakes the Tomb,
Up to his Father's Court he flies,
Cherubic Legions guard him Home,
And fhout him welcome to the Skies.

And fing the folemn Feast,

And chear the drooping Mind.

Join with your kindred Saints above,
In loud Hofanna join.

Hofanna let it found abroad,
And reach where Jefus is.
