PART IV.

AVIOUR from Sin, I wait to prove
That JESUS is Thy Healing Name,
To love, when perfected in Love,

Whate'er I have, or Can, or Am;
I stay me on Thy faithful Word,
The Servant fhall be As his LORD.

2. Answer that gracious End in me
For which Thy precious Life was given,
Redeem from All Iniquity,

Reftore, and make me meet for Heaven;
Unless Thou purge my Every Stain,
Thy Suffering, and my Faith is vain.

3. 'Tis not a bare Release from Sin,
Its Guilt and Pain, my Soul requires,
I want a Spirit of Power within,

Thee, JESUS, Thee my Heart defires,
And pants, and breaks to be renew'd,
And wash'd in Thy All-cleanfing Blood.

4. Didft Thou not in the Flesh appear,
Sin to condemn, and Man to fave?
That perfect Love might caft out Fear,
That I Thy Mind in me might have,
In Holinefs fhew forth Thy Praise,
And ferve Thee all my finless Days.

5. Didft Thou not die, that I might live
No longer to Myfelf, but Thee?
Might Body, Soul, and Spirit give

To Him who gave Himself for Me?
Come then, my Master and my GOD,
Take the dear Parchafe of Thy Blood.

6. Thine

6. Thine own peculiar Servant claim
For Thine own Truth and Mercy's Sake,
Hallow in me Thy Glorious Name,
Me for Thine own this Moment take,
And change, and throughly purify:
Thine only may I live, and die.

We have not an High-Prieft which cannot be touched with the Feeling of our Infirmities, &c. Heb. iv. 15..

Compaffionate High-Prieft,

Full of Truth and Grace for me,.

Mark the Heavings of my Breast,
See my Sin and Misery!

Surely All to Thee is known

Tho' Thou doft not yet appear,

Noted is my every Groan,,
Counted is my every Tear.

2. I have not a Priest unmov'd
With the Feeling of my Woe,
Who Himself was never prov'd,
Who my Sufferings cannot know:
Touch'd moft fenfibly Thou art
With my Soul's Infirmities,
Still the Saviour's gentle Heart
Doth with Sinners fimpathize.

3. Tho' He now triumphant reigns,
Still as in His Days of Flesh,
All His Agonies and Pains

In our Souls He feels afresh :

Tho' exalted to a Throne,

Thou doft in our Sorrows fhare, Thou haft not forgot Thine own: Thine own Flesh and Blood we are.

4. Friend of Sinners, in Thy Heart,
Tell me, doth there not remain
One unarm'd and tender Part,
Capable of Human Pain?
LORD, I wait for the Reply:
Groan an Answer from within,
Tell me, Comforter, that I,
I fhall be redeem'd from Sin.

5. Hoping againft Hope I wait
For Redemption in Thy Blood:
Help me in my loft Eftate,

Take away my heavy Load,
Save me from this Tyranny,
O bring near the joyful Hour,
From All Sin my Spirit free,

All the Guilt, and all the Power.

6. Grant, O grant my laft Request,
Nothing do I afk befide,
Only give my Spirit Reft,

Reft from Self, and Reft from Pride;
Bring into Thy Perfect Peace,

Give me Faith to enter in,
Let me with Thy People cease
From my own dead Works of Sin.

7. Power I want, a Conftant Power
My own Evil to eschew,

Till my Heart Can fin no more,
Till I am a Creature New;
Let me in Thy Wounds abide,
Till the Perfect Grace is given;
Give me This, I afk befide
Nothing or in Earth or Heaven.

A PRAYER for Perfons join'd in Fellowship.

TRY

Ry us, O GOD, and fearch the Ground
Of Every Sinful Heart,

Whate'er of Sin in Us is found,

O bid it All depart.

2. When to the Right or Left we stray,
Leave us not Comfortless,

But guide our Feet into the Way
Of Everlasting Peace.

3. Help us to help each other, LORD, Each other's Crofs to bear,

Let Each his friendly Aid afford,

And feel his Brother's Care.

4. Help us to build each other Our little Stock improve,

up,

Increase our Faith, confirm our Hope,
And perfect us in Love.

5. Up into Thee, our Living Head, Let us in all Things grow,

Till Thou haft made us free indeed,

And Sinlefs here below.

6. Then when the Mighty Work is wrought,

Receive Thy Ready Bride,

Give us in Heaven a happy Lot

With All the Sanctified.

JESU2

PART II.

Esu, All Power is given to Thee,
Command our inward Parts,

Turn as the Rivers of the Sea

Our hard unyielding Hearts.

2. Our Hearts are to Ourselves unknown,
Till Thou the Veil remove,
Open, enlarge, and melt them down
By Thy Victorious Love.

3. Thee, at Thy Word, we come to meet,

[ocr errors]

And humbly to confefs,

While lowly proftrate at Thy Feet,

Our utter Sinfulness.

4. O let us faithfully obey

The Counsel of Thy Will,
And each to each our Faults difplay,
Our every Thought reveal.

5. Our Fig-leaves all be caft afide,
Let no Self-foothing Art

Conceal the Luft, t' indulge the Pride
Of a foul Hellish Heart.

6. Open a Window in our Breast, That Each our Heart may

fee,

And let no Secret be fuppreft,
Since all are known to Thee.

7. Remove the Sins which we declare,
The Burthen of our Soul,

And hear the mutual faithful Prayer,
And make the Sinner whole.
