Thefe infinite Defires fulfil,
And make our Happiness compleat.

O what a Soul' o'erpow'ring Thought!
'Tis Extaly too great to bear!
We all at once fhall be up-caught,
And meet our Jefus in the Air.

A

HYMN XLVIII.
The Same.

H' lovely Appearance of Death, No Sight upon Earth is fo fair, Not all the gay Pageants that breathe Can with a dead Body compare. With folemn Delight I furvey

The Corps when the Spirit is fled, In love with the beautiful Clay, And longing to lie in his Stead.

How bleft is our Brother, bereft,
Of all that could burthen his Mind;
How eafy the Soul that hath left
This wearifome Body behind!
Of Evil incapable thou,

Whofe Relicks with Envy I fee;
No longer in Misery now,

No longer a Sinner like me.

This Earth is affected no more

With Sickness or shaken with Pain :

The War in the Members is o'er,
And never fhall vex him again.

P

No Anger henceforward, or Shame,
Shall redden this innocent Clay:
Extinct is the Animal Flame,
And Paffion is vanish'd away.

This languifhing Head is at Reft,
Its Thinking and Aching are o'er;
This quiet immoveable Breaft

Is heav'd by Affliction no more:
This Heart is no longer the Seat
Of Trouble and torturing Pain;
It ceafes to flutter and beat,
It never fhall flutter again.

The Lids he fo feldom could clofe,
By Sorrow forbidden to fleep,
Seai'd up in eternal Repofe,

Have ftrangely forgotten to weep: The Fountains can yield no Supplies, Thefe Hollows from Water are free! The Tears are all wip'd from thefe Eyes, And Evil they never fhall fee.

To mourn and to fuffer is mine,
While bound in a Prifon I breathe,
And ftill for Deliverance pine,

And prefs to the Iffues of Death;
What now with my Tears I bedew,
O might I this Moment become,
My Spirit created anew,

My Flesh be confign'd to the Tomb!

HYMN XLIX.

The Same.

TESUS, come! our deareft Jefus,
Save us from the World beneath,

From a Life of Pain releafe us,
From a Life of daily Death:
Liften to the ceafelefs Moaning
Of thy plantive Turtle-Dove;
Anfwer, Lord, the Spirit's Groaning,
Take us to our Church above.

Many a Soul is lodg'd before us,
In the Garner of the Grave:
Jefus, come to Life restore us,
Us from all our Trouble fave;
Us, in infinite Compaffion,

To our happier Friends unite, Raife us to our higheft Station, Rank us with thy Saints in Light.

Still we bear about thy Dying,
In our feeble Bodies here,
Languifhing for thee, and crying
Light of Life in us appear:
Take us to thy kind Embraces,
To thy heav'nly Banquet lead;
Wipe the Sorrow from our Faces,.
Set the Crown upon our Head.

HYMN L.

CHRIST'S Nativity.

LL Glory to God, and Peace upon Earth,.

A Be publish'd abroad at Jesus's Birth;

The forfeited Favour of Heav'n. we find Reftor'd in the Saviour and Friend of Mankind.

Then let us behold Meffiah the Lord,
By Prophets foretold, by Angels ador'd;
Our God's Incarnation with Angels proclaim,
And publish Salvation in Jefus's Name,

Our newly-born King by Faith we have feen,
And joyfully fing his Goodnefs to Men,
That all Men may wonder at what we impart,
And thankfully ponder his Love in their Heart.

What mov'd the Moft High fo greatly to ftoop
He comes from the Sky, our Souls to lift up:
That Sinners, forgiven, might happy return
To God and to Heaven; their Maker is born..

Immanuel's Love let Sinners confefs,
Who comes from above to bring us his Peace;
Let every Believer his Mercy adore,

And praife him for ever, when Time is no more..

A

HYMN LI.

The Same.

WAY with our Fears!
The Godhead appears

In Chrift reconcil'd,

The Father of Mercies in Jefus the Child.

He comes from above

In manifeft Love,

The Defire of our Eyes,

The meek Lamb of God, in a Manger he lies.

At Immanuel's Birth,

What a Triumph on Earth!

Yet could it afford

No better a Place for its heav'nly Lord!

The Ancient of Days,

To redeem a loft Race,

From his Glory comes down

Self-humbled, to carry us up to a Crown.

Made Flesh for our Sake,

That we might partake

The Nature Divine,

And again in his Image his Holiness shine.

An heav'nly Birth

Experience on Earth,

And rife to his Throne,

And live with our Jefus eternally one,
