We lie, 'till CHRIST reftore the Light;

Wisdom defcends to heal the Blind,

And chace the Darknefs of the Mind.

Loft guilty Souls are drown'd in Tears,t.
'Till the atoning Blood appears;
Then they awake from deep Diftrefs, S
And fing the Lord our Righteousness.

JESUS beholds where Satan reigns,
Binding his Slaves in heavy Chains;
He fets the Pris'ners free and breaks
The Iron Bondage from our Necks.

Poor helpless Worms in Thee poffefs
Grace, Wisdom, Pow'r, and Righteoufnefs:
Thou art our Mighty ALL; may we
Give our whole felves, O LORD, to Thee!
