No Good Thing in me refides, My Soul is all an an aching Void, Till Thy Spirit here abides, And I am fill'd with GoD.

7. JESU, full of Truth and Grace,
In Thee is all I want:
Be the Wanderer's Resting-Place,
A Cordial to the Faint;
Make me rich, for I am poor,
In Thee may I my Eden find,
To the Dying Health restore,
And Eye-fight to the Blind..

8. Cloath me with Thy Holiness,
Thy meek Humility,
Put me on my Glorious Dress,
Endue my Soul with Thee;
Let Thy Image be restor'd,
Thy Name, and Nature let me prove,
With Thy Fulness fill me, LORD,
And perfect me in Love.

I.

A Welcome to the CROSS.

LL hail the Saviour's Hallow'd Cross,
By which I daily die within!

All Things for Thee I count but Lofs,
Enter my Soul, and work out Sin;
Here let Thy Mortal Virtue move,
And crucify my Creature-Love.

2. Wither my Strength, deftroy my Will,
Stain all the Glory of my Pride,
My Appetites, and Paffions kill,

Be to my Whole of Self applied,
Implunge me in the Depth beneath,
And speak to all my Nature Death.

3. O that I now with All could part,
Cut off the Hand, pluck out the Eye!
JESUS, Thou greater than my Heart,
Thy efficacious Death apply,
Now for Thyself prepare the Way,
Breath, and the Sinful Adam flay.

4. Thou know'ft what keeps me out of Thee,
Naked I in Thine Eyes appear,
Reveal the Thing I would not fee,

Th' Accurfed Thing that harbours here,
O tear it hence, altho' the Smart,
The killing Anguish break my Heart.

6. Thou fee'ft, alas! I am not dead,
My Nature's Life in me is whole,
Again the Rebel lifts his Head,

And Self bears down my ftruggling Soul, This Thorn, I feel it in my Side Th' unconquerable Strength of Pride.

7. Still do I live, not CHRIST but I, The Inbred Sin I groan to bear, JESU, with Thee I long to die,

The fuffering of Thy Crofs to fhare, Sweet Fellowship with Thee to have: Bury me, Saviour, in Thy Grave.

8. Then let me lay my Burthen down
In fweet Forgetfulness of Care,
The Crofs fhall bring me to the Crown,
The Dead Thy Praises fhall declare,
When all renew'd in Love I fhine,
Partaker of the Life Divine.

1.

In TEMPTATION.

Esu, hear a Sinner's Prayer,

Shew me thy Salvation.

Save me from this Self and Pride,

All the Grace Thou haft to give.

Feed a tender Sickly Plant,

Every Moment water me.

6. Hide me, dearest Saviour, hide
Let me never leave Thy Side;
Oh! 'tis Hell from Thee to part,
Press me closer to Thy Heart.

7. When Thy Love is my Defence,
Sin fhall never pluck me thence,
When my Heart with Love runs o'er,
Sin fhall never enter more.

8. Only Love can end the Strife, Give me Love, and take

my Life; Do not, LORD, my Suit deny, Give me Love, and let me die.

Looking unto JESUS.

L

AMB of GOD for Sinners Slain,
To Thee I feebly pray,

Heal me of my Grief and Pain,
O take my Sins away.

From this Bondage, LORD, releafe,
No longer let me be oppreft :
JESUS, Mafter, feal my Peace,
And take me to Thy Breast.

2. Haft Thou not invited All
Who groan beneath their Sin?
Weary I obey Thy Call,

And come to be made clean:
Give my burthen'd Confcience ease,
O grant me now the promis'd Rest :
JESUS, Mafter, &c.

3. Wilt Thou caft a Sinner out

Who humbly comes to Thee?
No, my GoD, I cannot doubt,
Thy Mercy is for Me:
