To buy the Sinner's Peace!
Gufhing from Thy facred Veins
Let it now my Soul o'reflow,
Purge out all my finful Stains,
And wash me white as Snow.

3. HOLY GHOST, fet to Thy Seal,
The Life of JESUS breathe,
The deep Things of GoD reveal,
Apply my Saviour's Death:
With the Father and the Son
Soon as One in Thee I am,
All my Nature shall make known
The Glories of the Lamb.

4. FATHER, SON and HOLY GHOST, Thy Godhead we adore,

Join with the Triumphant Hoft

Who praise Thee evermore : Live by Heaven and Earth ador'd,

Three in One, and One in Three, Holy, Holy, Holy LORD,

All Glory be to Thee!

On his BIRTH DAY.

my

FT have I curft Natal Day, While ftrug'ling in the Legal Strife, And wish'd for Wings to fly away,

And murmur'd to be held in Life:
But O! my Blafphemies are o'er,
I curfe my Day, my GoD no more.

2. His Grace, which I abus'd fo long,
Hath This, and all my Sins forgiven,
I now have learnt a better Song,

I chearfully look up to Heaven, With Joy upon my Head return, And blefs the Day that I was born.

3. How could I, LORD, Thy Goodness grieve, How could I do Thee fuch Defpight?

At last I thankfully receive

The Gift of Thy Continued Light,

No longer I Thy Favours fpurn,
But blefs the Day that I was born.

4. Fountain of Life, and all my Joy,
JESU, Thy Mercies I embrace,
The Breath Thougiv'st, for Thee employ
And wait to tafte Thy Perfect Grace,
No more forfaken, and forlorn,
I bless the Day that I was born.

5.

Since first I felt by Grace remov'd
My Sin's intollerable Load,

Long in the Wilderness I rov'd,

And groan'd to live without my GOD;
I cannot now, as hopeless, mourn,
But blefs the Day that I was born.
