That Thou bar'ft our Guilt and Blame
O how sweet is then Thy Name!
Self-Will, that moft cruel Thing,
May we bring to Thee our King:
For when we as Sinners come,
In Thy Nail-holes we find Room,
Other Children cannot be

Half fo glad and bless'd as we;

i

They don't hear, that Thou dear Lamb
On the Cross haft dy'd for them.

Be our Shepherd ev'ry Day,
That we little Lambs ne'er ftray;
That whene'er we hear Thy Voice,
To obey we may rejoice.

6 Thanks be for Thy tender Care,
Thanks, that Thou haft brought us here;
Grant O deareft Lamb that we

True, tho' little Servants be!

CLXXXIV.

7Hat feels that Soul, that fees not Thee
Jefu, who once has feen Thy Heart?

No Pain with that can equall'd be,
The Lofs as matchlefs as the Smart!
Dear Brethren, well this Thing obferve,
With Care your Hearts in Light preferve.

2*Ó! never turn from him your Eyes,

The Sinner's only Hope and Friend; The Soul that from his Keeper flies,

None other can from Harm defend: Ye happy Souls that Jefus know, From Him ah! whither would you go? 3 Turn then, whoe'er is turn'd aftray, Turn: to the Shepherd of the Sheep: He by his eath your Debts did pay, His Life fhall you in Safety keep: Be not afraid, but go, believe, He will his Sheep with Joy receive. 4 It is not in Him to deftroy,

He came to fave the Souls of Men; His Spirit is in full Employ

Therefore to bring them home again: Hear, Soul, He calleth Thee by Name; Be not afraid He is a Lamb!

CLXXXV

Tream thro' the Bottom of my Souly: Blood of the Son of God! And take away whate'er in me Thee hath fo long withstood: Drink up my Nature's active Fire, Drown all my ufelefs Strife; And let my Heart for nothing thirst But Thee the Well of Life.

z Here let me drink, for ever drink,
Nor ever once depart:

For what I tafte, makes me to cry,
"Fix at this Spring my Heart!"
Dear Saviour, Thou haft feen how oft
I've turn'd away from Thee;
Olet Thy Work renew'd to-Day,
Remain eternally.

O

CLXXXVI.

dearest Saviour, might my Heart
Be quite giv'n up to Thee!

O might it, to be always Thine,
My highest Pleasure be!

2 Thy Love, with fuch a jealous Flame,
Would have me wholly Thine;
Thy Blood fo fhed, demands that I
Should be no longer mine!

3 But Lord, what loveft Thou in me?
Thou feeft me as I am!

Yet if Thou chooseft ftill to love,
Thy Choice I will not blame.

Ah Lord! it is the only Way,
The only Mafter-Art,

To conquer fuch a Soul as mine,
And break fo hard a Heart:

5 Here I confess to all the World,

I ne'er fhould have lov'd thee,
Hadit Thou not dy'd for me and first
Shewn fuch a Love to me.

6 O'Love, O bleeding Love, I would
Always with Thee remain:
O let my Soul with Thee yet more
Inward Acquaintance gain.

7 For this I feel, did even I

But know Thee as Thou art;
Ifrom that Time with thousand Joys
Should give Thee all my Heart.

CLXXXVII.

From the German.

OW will we go and filent be,

And humbly bow both Heart and Knee
Before our Lamb and Head:

We'll venture gladly ev'ry Thing
At the Command of Christ our King
By Him we'll be for ever led.

H! who is this appears to me
After the Labours of thy Life,
All Glory be to God on high!
And is it then our happy Lot,
Arife, my Soul, arife, and fing
Arife ye, who are captive led,
Attend, O Saviour, to our Pray'r!

Behold the loving Son of God
Behold the Saviour of Mankind,
Beloved Saviour, Prince of Life,
Beloved Saviour, Sinners Friend
Blood of the venerable Lamb!
Brethren, what is your Defire?

By our own Strength there's nothing done, 20

Christ crucify'd,

Come let us join our chearful Songs
Could we Sinners fully tell,

Could but the World its Wish obtain,

Dear glorious King, thy Church's Spouse,

Dear Jefus be near,

Dear Lamb from everlasting flain,

Dear Lamb, in me fulfil
