2 Thou, undertaking in our room,
Didft not abhor the virgin's womb:
The pains of death o'ercome by thee
Made heaven to all believers free.

3 At God's right hand thou haft thy feat,
And in the Father's glory great,
We do believe that thou fhalt come
To judge us, and to feal our doom.

4 Lord, help thy fervants, whom (when loft)
Thy blood redeem'd at fo great coft;
Place them on everlasting thrones
Of glory, with thy holy ones..

5 Thy people, Lord, do thou protect,
And blefs thy heritage elect,

Govern thy church, and, Lord, advance
For ever thy inheritance.

6 Thy mercy, Lord, to us difpenfe,
According to our confidence;
Lord I have put my trust in thee,
O let me not confounded be!

Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this Day without Sin.

And every day from fin,

The God of truth and grace;

In choral fymphonies,

And never, never cease:

Sing, and ftop, and gaze, and fall
O'erwhelm'd before thy throne.

And earth is turn'd to heav'n.
