To raise the Sinner from his Fall,
And bring him back to GoD and Heaven,

And All may Thy Salvation have.
4. How fhall I thank Thee for the Grace,
On me, and All Mankind beftow'd!
O that my every Breath were Praise,
O that my Heart were fill'd with GOD!
My Heart would then with Love o'erflow,
And all my Life Thy Glory fhew.
5. See me, O LORD, athirst and faint,
Me weary of Forbearing fee,
And let me feel Thy Love's Conftraint,
And freely give up All for Thee.
True in the Fiery Tryal prove,
And pay Thee back Thy Dying Love.
"Love, I languish at thy Stay,
I pine for Thee with lingring Smart,
Weary, and faint thro' long Delay,
When wilt thou come into my Heart,
From Sin and Sorrow fet me free,
And swallow up my Soul in Thee!
2. Come, O Thou Universal Good,
Balm of the Wounded Confcience, come,
The hungry, dying Spirit's Food,
The weary, wandring Pilgrim's Home,
Haven to take the Shipwreck'd in,
My Everlasting Rest from Sin.
3. Be Thou, O Love, whate'er I want,
Support my Feebleness of Mind,
Relieve the Thirsty Soul, the Faint
Revive, illuminate the Blind,
The Mournful chear, the Drooping lead,
And heal the Sick, and raise the Dead.
4. Come, O my Comfort and Delight,
My Strength and Health, my Shield and Sun,
My Boaft, and Confidence, and Might,
My Joy, my Glory, and my Crown,
My Gofpel-Hope, my Calling's Prize,

The Mystery fo long unknown,

The Name infcrib'd in the White Stone,
The Life Divine, the Little Leaven,

The Father's Co-Eternal Son
Bore all my Sins upon the Tree ;
Th' Immortal GOD for me hath died!
My LORD, my Love is Crucified!

The Bleeding Prince of Life and Peace,
Come fee, ye Worms, your Maker die,
And fay, Was ever Grief like His!

To bring us Rebels near to Go D;

We All are bought with JESU's Blood;
Pardon for All flows from His Side:
My LORD, my Love is Crucified.
4. Then let us fit beneath His Crofs,
And gladly catch the Healing Stream,
All Things for Him account but Lofs,
And give up all our Hearts to Him ; :
Of Nothing think, or speak befide:
My LORD, my Love is Crucified!
Behold the Lamb of GOD, that. taketh away the Sin of the World!
Esu, Great Redeemer, hear
A feeble Sinner's Cry,

And bring Salvation nigh:
To my LORD what fhall I fay?
Saviour, I of Thee have need;
Take, O take my Sins away,
And make me free indeed.
2. Thee All-lovely as Thou art, Should I profefs to love, Surely my rebellious Heart
The Falfhood would difprove:
Thee my Heart cannot obey
Till from Every Evil freed:
Take, O take, &c.
3. Should I fay, that Ought in Me
Of Good doth now abide,
Self-condemn'd I now should be ;
My All is Self and Pride.
Guilty, guilty muft I say,
Nothing, LORD, have I to plead : Take, O take, &c.
4. No Defire, or Will have I
Thy Mercy to embrace,
From Thy Arms of Love I fly,
And flight Thy proffer'd Grace:
But Thou didst
my Ranfom pay,
But Thy Blood for Me was fhed:
Take, O take, &c.
5. Thy Salvation to obtain,
Out of Myfelf I go,
Freely 'Thou muft heal my Pain,
Thy unbought Mercy fhew:
For Myfelf I cannot pray;
Let thy Spirit interceed :
Take, O take, &c.
6. Not because I willing am,
On me this Grace be fhew'd;
But Thou art th' Atoning Lamb,
Therefore apply Thy Blood;
Therefore, LORD, no more delay,
Therefore heal my Soul, and lead;
Take, O take my Sins away,
And make me free indeed.

We thus approach to GoD,
Before us in Thy Vesture ftand,

And truft on Thee to feed.

And fenfibly believe.

Throughout the Way my Weakness bear,
And bring me to the End.
