There dwells the Lord our King, The Lord our Righteousness, The Prince of Peace : His Kingdom ftill maintains ; For ever reigns. He guards them by his Side, His spotlefs Bride : With Groves of living Joys- He still supplies. They all exulting stand; Thro all their Land; And swell the growing Fame, The wond'rous NAME. The great Arch-angels fing, 66 ·ALMIGHTY KING! WHO WAS, AND IS, THE SAME; " AND EVERMORE SHALL BE ; « JEHOVAH-FATHER-GREAT I AM 66. WE WORSHIP Thee." Before the Saviour's Face The ransom'd Nations bow; For ever new ; 1 hey kindle-to a Fiame ! The flaughter'd-Lamb. Give Thanks to God on high; They ever cry : (I join the heav'nly Lays,) All Might and Majesty are thine, And endless Praise. HY MN CXXII. I will fing of the Mercy of the Lord for ever. THY Song, Tongue : Thy free Grace alone, from the first to the last, Has won iny Affections, and bound my Soul fast. Without thy sweet Mercy, I could not live here; Sin foon would reduce me to utter Despair : But, thro' thy free Goodness, my Spirits revive, And he that first made me, still keeps me alive, Whene'er I mistake, thy kind Mercy begins Thy Mercy in Jesus exempts me from Hell; Of thy Mercy I'll fing, of thy Mercy I'll tell : . 'Twas Jesus my Friend, when he hung on the Tree, That opend the Channel of Mercy for me. Great Father of Mercies, thy Goodness I own, And the Covenant-Love of thy crucify'd Son: All Praise to the Spirit, whose Whispers divine, Seal Mercy, and Pardon, and Righteousnefs, mine. H Y M N CXXIII. The Loss of Christ lamented, from the paft Experience of his Love. Y Time, oh ye Daughters of Sion, did run Most sweetly and softly, when Christ was my Sun; MY Thro'Darkness I fearless could walk by his Light, His Rays were my Comfort, his Shield was my Might. When Jefus was with me, by Day or by Night, Tho' Darkness was round me, my Soul was still Light; My Joys and my Comforts enraptur'd my Mind, While under his Shadow I sweetly reclin'd, What Time in Communion with Jesus I spent, 'Twas Heay'n all over wherever I went ; And oft when his Kindnefs I've felt on my Heart, In Raptures I pray'd, he would never depart. His Mercy and Love was the Theme of my Song, To praise and adore him the Joy of my Tongue: To talk of his Goodnefs my daily Delight, To think of his Kindnefs my Pleasure by Night. But when He is absent, my Comforts are gone, My Heart is dejected, and hard as a Stone; Nor Nature or Creature Delight can impart, Till Jesus return, the fole Joy of my Heart, That e'er I should grieve thee, my Lord and my Lamb, It vexes my Souland o'erwhelmś me with Shame; The Sweets of thy Favor, and Love felt before, Restore, my dear Jesus, and leave me no more, . HY MN CXXIV. Before Sermon. Deign upon thy Truth to shine. D HY MN CXXV. The Same. To proclaim tly wondrous Love! blefs, o bless us, From thy shining Courts-above, Now thy gracious Word invites us, To partake thy Gospel Feaft; Let thy Spirit now unite us, Each to Thee a willing Guest ; O receive us, &c. To thy glorious promis’d Reft. |
