7. Come then, and claim me for Thine own, Saviour, Thy Right affert,

Come, gracious LORD, fet up Thy Throne, And reign within my Heart.

8. The Day of Thy great Power I feel,
And pant for Liberty,

I loath Myself, deny my Will,
And give up All for Thee.

9. I hate my Sins, no longer Mine,
For I renounce them too,

My Weakness with Thy Strength I join,
Thy Strength shall All fubdue.

10. Our common Foes, who Thee defy'd'

And wou'd not own Thy Sway, Envy, and Sloth, Defire, and Pride, And Hate, and Anger flay.

11. Thy Enemies deftroy in mine,
Pronounce their speedy Doom,

In Vengeance speak, in Brightness fhine,
The Man of Sin confume.

12. So fhall I blefs Thy pleafing Sway,
And fitting at Thy Feet

Thy Laws with All my Heart obey,
With all my Soul submit.

33. So fhall I do Thy Will below, As Angels do above,

The Virtue of Thy Paffion fhew,

The Triumphs of Thy Love.

14. Thy Love the Conqueft more than gains To all I fhall proclaim,

JESUS, the King, the Conqueror reigns,
Bow down to JESU's Name.

15. To Thee fhall Earth and Hell fubmit,
And every Foe fhall fall,

Till Death expires beneath Thy Feet,
And God is All in All!

Come unto Me all you that labour, and are heavy laden, and I will give you Reft. Mat. xi. 28.

Oh! that I could at laft fubmit

At JESU's Feet to lay it down,

To lay my Soul at JEsu's Feet.

The GoD of my Salvation fee!
Weary, O LORD, Thou know'ft I am,
Yet ftill I cannot come to Thee.

With Pity view my lab'ring Breast,
O give me Faith to make me whole,
And speak my Misery into Reft.

Saviour of All, if Mine Thou art, Give me Thy meek and lowly Mind,

And fully fet my Spirit free:

Till I am wholly loft in Thee.

Thy light and eafy Burthen prove,
The Crofs all ftain'd with hallow'd Blood,

And bow my Head, and fuffer there.

My Heart from Every Sin release;
Bring near, bring near the joyful Hour,
And fill me with Thy Perfect Peace.

Nor let Thy Chariot-Wheels delay,
Appear in my poor Heart, appear,

My GoD, my Saviour come away.

But only Punishment is Mine,
My Merits are Eternal Fire

But Heaven and Happiness are Thine.

Quicken'd me with Thy Latest Breath,
And died, that I might live to Thee.

And doth my finking Soul fuftain,
Thy faithful Mercies hold me up,
My Saviour did not die in vain.

Redeem from All Iniquity,

Renew, and perfect me in Love.

1.JESU2

Esu, Sin-atoning Lamb,
JESU, Lover of Thy Foe,

Let me feel Thy Sovereign Name,
Let me all its Virtue know:
Hear my Cry out of the Deep,
Hafte, and help a friendless Soul,
Seek, and fave a wand'ring Sheep,
Make a fin-fick Sinner whole.

2. Burthen'd am I, and oppreft,
Till Thou doft remove my Load:
Weary, till Thou give me Reft,
Guilty, till I feel Thy Blood.
See me, a Meer Sinner fee,
Miferable, poor, and blind,
Till I lofe my All in Thee,
Till in Thee my All I find.

3. What have I Thy Grce to move?
Beaft and Devil is my Name,

GOD I hate, and Sin I love,

Sin I love, and Sin I am.
Yet I mean Thy Grace to try;
Sinners if Thou canft receive,
Here I am, their Captain I;

Wouldft Thou have me die or live?

4. Thou the Potter, I the Clay,
Nothing have I, LORD, to plead,
Nothing have I, LORD, to fay:
Bid me live, or ftrike me dead.

I cannot in Judgment stand:
Raife; or flay me with Thy Breath,
Guilty I fhall feel Thy Hand,

Guilty of Eternal Death.

5. Trembling I expect my Fate,
If Thou as my Judge appear;
If Thou art my Advocate,
JESUS, What have I to fear?
JESUS is the Sinners Friend,
Sinners JESUS came to fave,
JESUS, Ion Thee depend,

Peace, and Power in Thee I have.

6. I the Golden Scepter fee
(Self-defpairing as I was)

Now, ev'n now reach'd out to me
I receive Thy Pard'ning Grace.
Of Thy Grace I cannot doubt;
Sinners to Thy Wounds who fly,
Thou in no wife wilt caft out :
Lo! I come, The Sinner I!

7.

Thou fhalt make me white as Snow,
Tho' my Soul be black as Hell.

Never from Thy Crofs I go,

Safe within Thy Wounds I dwell.

Other Refuge have I

none,

None do I defire beside ;

Friend of Sinners, I am One,

Save me, who for Me haft died.

Believe in the LORD JESUS and thou shalt be faved. Acts xvi. 31.

I.

WHA

WHAT fhall I do, my GoD, my God,
I afk in JESU's Name.

Unfanctified, and unrenew'd

I ftill remain the fame.
