Make flaves the partners of thy Throne,
Deck'd with a never-fading Crown?

6 Hence our hearts melt, our eyes o'erflow, Our words are loft: nor will we know, Nor will we think of aught befide, "My Lord, my Love is crucified." 7 Ah, Lord! enlarge our fcanty thought, To know the wonders thou haft wrought! Unloose our stammering tongues to tell Thy love immenfe, unfearchable! 8 Firft-born of many Brethren thou! Te thee, lo! all our fouls we bow : To thee our hearts and hands we give : Thine may we die, thine may we live.

And give up all our hearts to him:

Jefus calls his wanderers home:
Haften to your pardoning God.
Come, ye guilty fpirits opprefs'd,
Anfwer to the Saviour's call,
"Come, and I will give you reft,
"Come, and I will fave you all,"
2 Jefus, full of truth and love,
We thy kindeft word obey;
Faithful let thy mercies prove;
Take our load of guilt away:
Fain we wou'd on thee rely,
Caft on thee our fin and care:
To thine arms of mercy fly,
Find our lafting quiet there.
Burthen'd with a world of grief,
Burthen'd with our finful load,
Burthen'd with this unbelief;

Burthen'd with the wrath of God:
Lo! we come to thee for eafe,
True and gracious as thou art,
Now our groaning fouls releafe,

Write forgiveness on our heart.

W How thall I'all to heaven afpire?

HERE fhall my wondering foul begin?

A flave redeem'd from death and fin,

A brand pluck'd from eternal fire;
How fhall I equal triumphs raife,
Or fing my great Deliverer's praife!

2 O how fhall I the goodnefs tell,

Father, which thou to me haft fhow'd? That I, a child of wrath and hell,

I fhou'd be call'd a child of God! Shou'd know, fhou'd feel my fins forgiven, Bleft with this antepaft of heaven! s And fhall I flight my Father's love? Or bafely fear his gifts to own? Unmindful of his favours prove? Shall I, the hallow'd crofs to shun, Refuse his righteoufnefs to' impart, By hiding it within my heart? 4 No tho' the ancient dragon rage, And call forth all his hoft to war; Tho' earth's felf-righteous fons engage, Them, and their god, alike I dare: Jefus, the finner's Friend, proclaim; Jefus, to finners ftill the fame. 3 Outcafts of men, to you I call,

Harlots, and publicans, and thieves! He spreads his arms to embrace you all, Sinners alone his grace receives: No need of him the righteous have He came the loft to feek and fave. 6 Come, O my guilty brethren, come, Groaning beneath your load of fin; His bleeding heart fhall make you room, His open fide fhall take you in : He calls you now, invites you home, Come, O my guilty brethren, come. For you the purple current flow'd,

In pardons from his wounded fide; Languifh'd for you the Son of God;

For you the Prince of Glory died; Beueve,---and all your fin's forgiven; Only believe, and yours is heaven!
