Create all new, our Wills controul,
Subdue the Rebel in our Soul;
Chace from our Minds th' infernal Foe,
And Peace, the Fruit of Faith, bestow,
And leaft again we go aftray,
Protect and guide us in thy Way.
Immortal Honours, endless Fame,
Attend th Almighty Father's Name:
The Saviour Son be glorify'd,
Who for loft Man's Redemption dy'd :
And equal Adoration be,
Eternal Comforter, to thee!
YOME, Holy Ghoft, our Hearts inspire,
Let us thine Influence prove;
Source of the old prophetic Fire,
Fountain of Life and Love..
Come, Holy Ghoft, (for mov'd by thee
The holy Prophets fpoke)
Unlock the Truth, thyfelf the Key,
Unfeal the facred Book.
Expand thy Wings, prolific Dove,
Brood ofer our Nature's Night;
On our disorder'd Spirits move,
And let there now be Light.
God thro' himself we then fhall know,
If thou within us fhine;
And found, with all thy Saints below,
The Depths of Love divine.
HY fhould the Children of a King,
WH Go mourning all their Days?
Great Comforter, defcend and bring
Some Tokens of thy Grace.
Doft thou not dwell in all thy Saints,
And feal the Heirs of Heav'n?
When wilt thou banish our Complaints,
And fhew our Sins forgiv'n?
Affure each Conscience of its Part
In the Redeemer's Blood,
And bear thy Witnefs in cach Heart,
That it is born of God.
Thou art the Earneft of his Love,
The Pledge of Joys to come;
May thy bleft Wings, celeftial Dove,
Safely convey us home!

The infant Saviour to proclaim:
Inward they felt the facred Fire,
And blefs'd the Babe, and own'd his Name.

And treat the holy Child with fcorn;
Our Souls adore th' eternal God,
Who condefcended to be born.

They in him Remiflion have;
When they fee themfelves undone,
They take Refuge in the Son;
They fhall all be born again,
And with him in Glory reign.
