II.

There the pompous Triumph waits, "Lift your Heads eternal Gates, "Wide unfold the radiant Scene, "Take the King of Glory in!

III.

Circled round with Angel Pow'rs,
Their triumphant LORD and ours,
Conqu❜ror over Death and Sin,
Take the King of Glory in!

IV.

Tho' returning to his Throne, Still he calls Mankind his own. Him tho' highest Heav'n receives, Still he loves the Earth he leaves.

ས.

See! he lifts his Hands above! See! he fhews the Prints of Love! Hark! his gracious Lips bestow Bleffings on his Church below!

VI

Still for us his Death he pleads;
Prevalent, He intercedes ;
Near himself prepares our Place,
Harbinger of human Race.

VII.

Mafter, (will we ever fay) Taken from our Head To-day; See thy faithful Servants, fee!

Ever gazing up to Thee.

VIII.

Grant, tho' parted from our Sight,

High above yon azure Height,

[blocks in formation]

Grant our Hearts may thither rife,
Following Thee beyond the Skies.

IX.

Ever upward let us move, Wafted on the Wings of Love, Looking when our Lord fhall come, Longing, gafping after Home.

X.

There we fhall with Thee remain, Partners of 1 hy endless Reign;

There thy Face unclouded fee,

Find our Heav'n of Heav'ns in Thee!

G

HYMN for WHITSUNDAY.

1.

RANTED is the Saviour's Pray'r,
Sent the gracious Comforter;

Fromife of our parting LORD,

JESUS to his Heav'n reftor'd

II.

CHRIST; who now gone up on high,
Captive leads Captivity,

While his Foes from Him receive
Grace, that GoD with Man may live.

III.

GOD, the everlafting GoD, Makes with Morials his Abode, Whom the Heav'ns cannot contain, He vouchfates to dwell in Man.

Never

IV.

Never will he thence depart, Inmate of an humble Heart'; Carrying on his Work within, Striving till he caft out Sin.

V.

There he helps our feeble Moans, Deepens our imperfect Groans; Intercedes in Silence there,

Sighs th' Unutterable Pray'r.

VI.

Come, divine and peaceful Guest,
Enter our devoted Breaft;

HOLY GHOST, Our Hearts infpire,
Kindle there the Gospel fire.

VII.

Crown the agonizing Strife,

Principal, and Lord of Life;
Life divine in us renew,

Thou the Gift and Giver too :

VIH.

Now defcend and shake the Earth,
Wake us into fecond Birth;

Now thy quick'ning Influence give,
Blow and these dry Bones fhall live.

IX.

Brood Thou o'er our Nature's Night, Darkness kindles into Light;

Spread thy over fhadowing Wings,

Order from Confufion fprings.

X.

Pain, and Sin, and Sorrow cease, Thee we tafte, and all is Peace ; Joy divine in Thee we prove, Light of Truth, and Fire of Love. D 3

I.

ISE, my Soul, with Ardor rife,

R Breath thy Wishes to the Skies;

Freely pour out all thy Mind,
Seek, and thou art fure to find ;
Ready art thou to receive?

Readier is thy God to give.

II.

Heav'nly Father, Gop of all,
Hear, and fhew Thou hear'ft my Call;
Let my Cries thy Throne affail
Ent'ring now within the Veil:
Give the Benefits I claim.

LORD, I ask in JESU's Name!

II.

Friend of Sinners, King of Saints,
Anfwer my minutest Wants,
All my largest Thoughts require,
Grant me all my Heart's Defire,
Give me, till my Cup run o'er,
All, and infinitely more.

IV.

Meek and lowly be my Mind,
Pure my Heart, my Will refign'd !!
Keep me dead to all below,

Only CHRIST refolv'd to know,
Firm, and difengag'd, and free,
Seeking all my Blifs in Thee..

Suffer

V.

Suffer me no more to grieve, Wanting what Thou long'ft to give, Shew me all thy Goodnefs, LORD, Beaming from th' incarnate Word, CHRIST, in whom thy Glories fhine, Efflux of the Light divine.

VI.

Since the Son hath made me free, Let me tafte my Liberty,

'Thee behold with open Face,
Triumph in thy faving Grace,

Thy great Will delight to prove,
Glory in thy perfect Love.

VII.

Since the Son hath bought my Peace,

Mine thou art, as I am his :

Mine the Comforter I fee,

CHRIST is full of Grace for me:

Mine (the Purchase of his Blood
All the Plenitude of GOD.

VIII.

Abba Father! hear thy Child Late in JESUS reconcil'd!

Hear, and all the Graces fhow'r,

All the Joy, and Peace, and Pow'r,

All my Saviour afks above,

All the Life and Heav'n of Love.

IX.

LORD, I will not let thee go,

Till THE BLESSING thou bestow:
Hear my Advocate divine:
Lo; to His my Suit I join:
Join'd to His it cannot fail-
Blefs me, for I will prevail.
