13. With holy Indignation fill'd,
When by the Prince of Hell withstood,
Firm I refift; I grafp my Shield,
And quench his Fiery Darts with Blood.

14. Single a Thousand Foes I chase,

I turn, and blaft them with my Eyes:
Trembles the World before my Face,
Their Prince with All his Legions flies.

15. Having done all, by Faith I stand,
And give the Praife, O LORD, to Thee,
Thy holy Arm, Thy own Right-Hand
Hath got Thyself the Victory.

16. Wherefore to Thee my Soul I raise,
My Soul in Thee fecurely boafts,
Exults, and glories in Thy Praife,

And triumphs in the Lord of Hofts.

17. Wisdom, and Power, and Strength and Might, Thou, LORD, art worthy to receive, Honour, and Riches are Thy Right,

And Bleffings more than Earth can give.

18. Help us to praise our Glorious King, Ye Church of the First-born above,

Let Angels and Archangels fing

The Triumphs of All-conquering Love.

19. Let Earth, and all her Fullness fill Rejoice, His Greatness to proclaim,

And Everlasting Praises fill

The Heaven of Heavens with JESU's Name

I am determined to know nothing fave JESUS CHRIST, and Him Crucified.

1.

[ocr errors]

AIN, delufive World, adieu,
With all of Creature-Good!

Only JESUS I pursue

Who bought me with His Blood;
All thy Pleasures I forego,
I trample on thy Wealth and Pride,
Only JESUS will I know,

And JESUS Crucified.

2. Other Knowledge I difdain,
'Tis All but Vanity :
CHRIST, the Lamb of GoD was flain,
He tafted Death for Me:

Me to fave from endless Woe
The All-atoning Victim died;
Only JESUS, &c.

3. Turning to my Reft again The Saviour I adore,

He relieves my Grief and Pain,

And bids me weep no more ;

Rivers of Salvation flow

From out His Head, His Hands, His Side

My fluctuating Heart

From the Haven of Thy Breast
Shall never more depart :
Whither fhould a Sinner go?

His Wounds for me ftand open

Only JESUS, &c.

5. What though All I am is Sin,
Sin cannot break my Peace,
Here is Blood to wash me clean
From All Unrighteousness ;
This fhall make me white as Snow,
On this for all Things I confide :
Only JESUS, &c.

6. What though Earth and Hell engage
To shake my Soul with Fear,
Calmly I defy the Rage

Of Perfecution near;

Suffering Faith fhall brighter glow, As Gold when in the Furnace tried: Only JESUS, &c.

7.

Him to know is Life and Peace,
And Pleasure without End:

This is All my Happiness,.
On JESUS to depend,

Daily in His Grace to grow,
And ever in His Faith abide:
Only JESUS, &c.

This Saving Truth to prove,

Shew the Length, and Breadth, and Height And Depth of JESU's Love!

The Blood, which All máy feel applied:

The SAME.

LET the World their Virtue boaft,

Their Works of Righteousness,

I a Wretch undone, and loft,
Am freely fav'd by Grace:
Other Title I disclaim,

This, only This is All my Plea,-
I the Chief of Sinners am,
But JESUS died for Me!

2. Let the Stronger Sons of GoD
Their Liberty affert,
Juftly glory in the Blood

That made them pure in Heart;
I am full of Guilt, and Shame,
My Heart as black as Hell. I fee:.
I the Chief, &c.

3. Happy they, whofe Joys abound
Like Jordan's fwelling Stream,

Who their Heaven in CHRIST have found,
And give the Praise to Him;

Let them triumph in His Name,

Enjoy their full Felicity:

I the Chief, &c.

4. Bleft they, entirely bleft.

Who can in Him rejoice,
Lean on His Beloved Breast,

And hear the Bridegroom's Voice;

Meaneft Follower of the Lamb,

His Steps I at a Distance fee :

I the Chief, &c.

5. Outward Comforts have I none,
Or Senfible Delight;
Joy is to my Soul unknown,
My Day is turn'd to Night;

But

But my GoD is ftill the fame;
No Shade or Change in Him can be:
I the Chief, &c.

6. I like Gideon's Fleece am found
Unwater'd still, and dry,

While the Dew on All around. Falls plenteous from the Sky; Yet my LORD. I cannot blame, The Saviour's Grace for All is free :. I the Chief, &c.

7. Still I fee His unfelt Grace
Defcending from Above,

But can neither pray, nor praise,
Nor fear my God, nor love;
Yet He fuffer'd to redeem
My Soul from All Iniquity:
I the Chief, &c.

8, Surely He will lift me up,

For I of Him have Need;
I cannot give up my Hope,

Though I am cold and dead:
To bring Fire on Earth He came ;
O that it now might kindled be!
I the Chief, &c.

9. JESU, Thou for Me haft died,
And Thou in Me wilt live,
I fhall feel Thy Death applied,
I fhall Thy Life receive :
Yet when melted in the Flame

Of Love, This shall be All my Plea,

I the Chief of Sinners am,`.
But JESUS died for Me!
