12 So fhall our Lives Thy Pow'r proclaim,
Thy Grace for ev'ry Sinner free,
Till all Mankind fhall learn Thy Name,
Shall all ftretch out their Hands to Thee.
Open a Door which Earth and Hell
May ftrive to fhut, but ftrive in vain;
Let Thy Word richly in us dwell,
And let our gracious Fruit remain.
13 O multiply Thy Sower's Seed,
And Fruit we ev'ry Hour fhall bear;
Throughout the World Thy Gofpel fpread,
Thy everlasting Grace declare:
We all in perfect Love renew'd
Shall know the Greatness of Thy Pow'r,
Stand in the Temple of our God
As Pillars, and go out no more.

Holy Lamb, and Prince of Peace,
Hear my Soul implore Thy Grace,
Let it thro' Thy Pow'r divine,
In Thy Lamb-like Meeknefs fhine,
2 Grant, that faithfully I may
As a Lamb thy Voice obey,
F
Soul and Body bought with Price,
Be Thy living Sacrifice.
Valiant, ftedfaft may my Love
In the hardest Tryals prove;
And in all Adverfity,
Both a Lamb and Lion be..
4 Keep Thou me a feeble Child,
Sober, watchful, undefil'd;
That where'er Thy Steps I fee,
Simply I may follow Thee.
Thou the great victorious Lamb,
Who all Hofts of Hell o'ercame:
Grant, that in Thy Blood I may
Conqu❜ror be till Thy great Day.
6 When Thou shalt on Sion ftand,
I fhall be at Thy Right Hand;
In Thy God-like Glory bright,
Thou my Temple, Thou my Light.

Oly Lamb, who Thee receive,
Who in Thee begin to live;
Day and Night they cry to Thee,
As Thou art, fo let us be.
Jefu! fee my panting Breaft,
See I pant in Thee to reft!
Gladly now I would be clean;
Cleanfe me now from ev'ry Sin.
3 Fix, Ofix my wav'ring Mind,
To Thy Cross my Spirit bind!
Earthly Paffions far remove;
Swallow up our Souls in Love:
4 Duft and Afhes tho' we be,
Full of Guilt and Mifery;
Thine we are, Thou Son of God,
Take the Purchase of Thy Blood.
5 Who in Heart on Thee believes,
He th' Atonement now receives,
He with Joy beholds thy Face,
Triumphs in thy pard'ning Grace.
6 See, ye Sinners! fee the Flame,
Rifing from the flaughter'd Lamb,
Marks the new, the living Way,
Leading to eternal Day.
7 Jefu, when this Light we fee,
All our Soul's athirit for Thee,
When thy quick'ning Pow'r we prove,
All our Heart diffolves in Love..
Boundless Wifdom, Pow'r divine,
Love unspeakable are thine ;
Praise by all to Thee be giv'n,
Sons of Earth, and Hofts of Heav'n. 1
WOW can a Sinner hear thefe Words
'HO H Grace, Jefus, Blood, and Wounds,
And not difcern that Harmony,
Which from each Word refounds.
2 For, oh! tis ravishing and sweet
Unto a Sinner true,
When Jefus fays, I wounded was,
And bled to Death for you.
3 O can fuch Grace be e'er forgot,
'Twas Love which spoke in Blood;
The wounded Lamb will still be dear
To ev'ry Child of God.
4 But those who fay they Sinners are,
Without the Senfe of Guilt,
Can ne'er rejoice in Jefu's Blood,
Which was for Sinners spilt.
5 Is nothing to be done for fuch
A poor dead wretched Man'?
Yes jefu's Grace muft touch his Heart
There's nothing else e'er can..
6 All have by Nature fuch hard Hearts,
I was the very same, -
Till Jefus call'd me by his Grace,
And let me know his Name.
7 O precious Grace, and pierced Wounds!
O blefs'd atoning Blood!
Sweet Jefu! ftill appear to me,
And give me daily Food.
WOW Chrift his Souls doth blefs, No Tongue can e'er exprefs! They the Life of Men no more, But a Life mysterious live; Veffels they of His great Pow'r, Day by Day new Gifts receive. 2 A fimple child-like Heart He does to them impart : From fierce Wrath and knotty Care, Grief inveterate and deep, In one Moment freed they are; His sweet Grace lays all asleep, 3 Herewith is yet combin'd, A great and princely Mind: Undifmay'd by any Foe,
