Fruit of a Virgin's Womb
The promis'd Bleffing's come:
CHRIST, the Father's Hope of old,
CHRIST, the Woman's conqu'ring Seed,
CHRIST, the Saviour, long foretold,
Born to bruife the Serpent's Head.

Refulgent from afar,

See the bright Morning.ftar!
See the Day-fpring from on high,
Late in deepest Darkness, rife,
Night recedes, the Shadows fly,
Flame with Day the op'ning Skies!

VI.

Our Eyes on Earth furvey
The dazzling Shechinab!
Bright in endless Glory bright;
Now in Flesh he stoops to dwell,
GOD of Gop, and Light of Light,
Image of th' Invisible.

Full of Grace and Truth-for me.

High above ev'ry Name,

JESUS, the great I AM!
Bows to JESUS ev'ry Knee,

Things in Heav'n, and Earth, and Hell,

Fiends, and Men, and Angels feel.

He left his Throne above,
Empty'd of all, but Love:
Whom the Heav'ns cannot contain
GOD vouchfaf'd a Worm t' appear,
LORD of Glory, Son of Man,
Poor, and vile, and abject here.

XI.

His own on Earth he fought, His own receiv'd him not : Him, a Sign by All blafphem'd, Out caft and defpis'd of Men, Him they all a Madman deem'd, Bold to fcoff the Nazarene.

Friend of Publicans—and Me!

Wine and Oil thy Love pour'd in,
Clos'd my Wounds, and made me whole,

First and Laft, I feel Thee now,
Witnefs of thy empty Tomb,
Alpha and Omega Thou

Sav'd to the utmost now.

O the Depth of Love divine!

Who thy Wisdom's Stores can tell?

Knowledge infinite is Thine,

All thy Ways unsearchable!
