Now Thy Power Almighty fhew, Arife, the Woman's Conquering Seed: O avenge us, &c.

To deftroy His Work of Sin
Thyfelf in Us reveal,
Manifeft Thyfelf within

Our Flesh, and fully dwell
With us, in us here below;
Enter, and make us free indeed :
O avenge us,&c.

5. Stronger than the Strong-Man Thom His Fury canft controul; Caft him out by entering now,

And keep our ransom'd Soul; Satan's Kingdom overthrow, On all the Powers of Darkness tread: O avenge us, &c.

6. Shall He still the Souls enthrall

For whom Thy Life was given? Haft Thou not beheld him fall As Lightening out of Heaven? Hitherto allow'd to go, He now no farther fhall proceed: O avenge us, &c.

7. To never-ceafing Cries

Of Thine Elect attend,
Send Deliverance from the Skies,
Thy mighty Spirit fend;

Tho' to Man Thou feemeft flow,

Our Cries Thou feemeft not to heed;

O avenge us, &c.

8. Come, O come All-gracious LORD, No longer how delay,

With Thy Spirit's two-edg'd Sword wo
The crooked Serpent flay;

Bare Thine Arm, and give the Blow,
Root out, and kill the Hellish Seed:
O avenge us, &c.

9. High enthron'd at GoD's Right-hand
Thou doft in Glory fit,

Till whoe'er Thy Sway withftand,
Indignantly fubmit

Yes, they All fhall be brought low,
They all shall be Thy Footstool made :
O avenge us, &c.

10. JESU, hear Thy Spirit's Call,
Thy Bride who bids Thee come:
Come Thou Righteous Judge of All,
Pronounce the Tempter's Doom;
Doom him to Infernal Woe,
For him, and for his Angels made;
Now avenge us of our Foe,
Forever bruife his Head.

Come, LORD JESUS!

HEN, dearest LORD, when fhall it be,
That I fhall find my All in Thee ;

"WHE

The Fulness of Thy Promise prove,
The Seal of Thine Eternal Love!

2. A poor, blind Child I wander here
If haply I may feel Thee near,
O dark, dark, dark (I still must say)
Amidst the Blaze of Gospel-Day.

3. Thee, only Thee I fain would find,
I caft the World, and Flesh behind, ›

Thou,

Thou, only Thou to me be given
Of all Thou haft in Earth or Heaven.

4. All Earthly Comforts I difdain,
They shall not rob me of my Pain,
Or make me senseless of my Load,
Or lefs difconfolate for GoD.

5. Rather let all the Creatures take..
Their Miferable Comforts back,
With every vain Relief depart,
And leave me to my Broken Heart.

6. Leave me, my Friends, the Mourner leave,
For GOD, and not for you I grieve;
My Weakness, O ye Strong, despise,
My foolish Ignorance, ye Wife.

7. Let all my Father's Children be
Still angry, ftill difpleas'd with me,
Disclaim, dishonour, and difown:
I would be poor, forlorn, alone..

8. A Child, a Fool, a Thing of nought,
Abhor'd, neglected, and forgot,
Contemn'd, abandon'd, and diftreft
Till I from Mortal Man have ceas'd.

.1.

9. When from the Arm of Flesh set free,
JESU, my Soul fhall fly to Thee:
JESU, when I have loft my All,
My Soul fhall on Thy Bofom fall.

10. When Man forfakes, Thou wilt not leave,

Ready the Outcafts to receive,.

Though all my Simpleness I own, i

And all my Faults to Thee are known.

11. Ah! wherefore did I ever doubt ? 15 7sit Thou wilt in no wife caft me out,

An helpless Soul that comes to Thee
With only Sin and Mifery.

12. LORD, I am fick; my

Sickness cure:

I want; do Thou enrich the Poor:
Under Thy mighty Hand I ftoop,
O lift the abject Sinner up!

13. LORD, I am blind; be Thou my Sight: LORD, I am weak, be Thou my Might: An Helper of the Helpless be,

And let me find my All in Thee.

The SAME.

Esu, what haft Thou beftow'd
On fuch a Worm as Me!

• JES

What Compaffion haft Thou fhew'd
To draw me after Thee!
Perfect then the Work begun,
All Thy Goodness let me prove,
All Thy Will in me be done,
Till all my Soul is Love.

2. Not by my own Righteousness,
Or Works that I have wrought,
Am I faved; but by Thy Grace
Surpaffing human Thought.
Nothing have I, nothing am,
Nothing I deferve but Hell:
Yet I glory in Thy Name,
Yet I Thy Mercy feel.

3. Thou a Spark of Hallow'd Fire
To me, ev'n me haft given;
Glows for Thee my Whole Defire,
My Life, my Inward Heaven:
Dreams of Happiness below
Never more will I pursue,
JESUS only will I know,

Whofe Love is ever new.

4. Thou Thy Hand on me haft laid,,
And calm'd my ftormy Will,
Nature's rapid Tide haft ftay'd,
And bid my Heart be ftill:
Stablish Thou my Heart in Peace,
Meek, and lowly may I be,
Fill with all Thy Gentleness
The Soul that hangs on Thee..

5:

Oft Thou vifiteft my Breaft,
But O! how fhort they Stay!
As the Memory of a Guest,
'That tarrieth but a Day.
Come, and all Thy Foes expel,
Fix in me Thy Constant Home,
With Thy Father in me dwell,
LORD. JESUS, quickly come!

Waiting for CHRIST the Prophet

PROPHET,

ROPHET, fent from GoD above
To teach His perfect Will,

Lo! I wait to learn Thy Love,

I tremble, and am ftill:
To Thy Guidance I submit,
All my Soul to Thee I bow,
See me fitting at Thy Feet,
Speak, LORD, I hear Thee now.

2. From the idle Babler Man
Behold I turn away,
Trample on the fairest Plan

That human Wit can lay:
Foolish am 1 ftill, and blind,
Till the Truth Itfelf impart,
Chase the Darknefs from my Mind,
And fhine within my Heart.
