[blocks in formation]

First and fecond Adam.

EEP in the Duft, before thy Throne, Our Guilt and our Difgrace we own; Great God, we own th' unhappy Name, Whence fprung our Nature, and our Shame.

But whilft our Spirits fill'd with Awe,
Behold the Terrors of thy Law,
We fing the Honours of thy Grace,
That fent to fave our ruin'd Race.

We fing thine everlasting Son,
Who join'd our Nature to his own;
Adam, the fecond, from the Duft
Raifes the Ruins of the firft.

Where Sin did reign, and Death abound,
There have the Sons of Adam found
Abounding Life; there glorious Grace,
Reigns thro' the Lord our Righteoufnels.

HYMN LXX.

Salvation.

ALVATION! O the joyful Sound !
What Pleasure to our Ears?

SAL

A Sov'reign Balm for ev'ry Wound,
A Cordial for our Fears.

Buried in Sorrow, and in Sin,
At Hell's dark Door we lay!
O may we rife by Grace divine,
And fee a heav'nly Day!

Salvation let the Echo fly

The fpacious Earth around, While all the Armies of the Sky Confpire to raise the Sound.

CHRIST'S Victory over Satan.
OSANNA to our conqu'ring King!
The Prince of Darknefs flies;

His Troops rufh headlong down to Hell,
Like Light'ning from the Skies.

There bound in Chains the Lions roar,

And fright the refcu'd Sheep!

But heavy Bars confine their Pow'r
And Malice to the Deep.

Hofanna to our conqu'ring King!

All hail, incarnate Love!

Ten thoufand Songs and Glories wait
To crown thy Head above.

Thy Vict'ries, and thy deathly Fame,
Thro' the wide World fhall run;
And everlasting Ages fing
The Triumphs thou haft won.

HYMN LXXII.

A bleffed GOSPEL.

LEST are the Souls that hear and know
The Gofpel's joyful Sound,

Peace fhall attend the Path they go,
And Light their Steps furround.

Their Joy fhall bear their Spirits up,
Thro' their Redeemer's Name;
His Righteousness exalts their Hope,
Nor Satan dares condemn.

The Lord our Glory and Defence,
Strength and Salvation gives;
Ifrael, thy King for ever reigns,
Thy God for ever lives.

HYMN LXXIII.

SING

Before Prayer.

ING to the Lord, Jehovah's Name,
And in his Strength rejoice:

When his Salvation is our Theme,
Exalted be our Voice.

With Thanks approach his awful Sight,
And Pfalms of Honour fing;
The Lord's a God of boundless Might,
The whole Creation's King,

Earth with its Caverns dark and deep,
Lies in his fpacious Hand:

He fix'd the Seas what Bounds to keep,
And where the Hills muft ftand.

Come, and with humble Souls adore,
Come kneel before his Face:
May we the Creatures of his Pow'r
Be Children of his Grace!

HYMN LXXIV.

The Church is God's House and Care.

While in his holy Courts ye wait,

Or ftand attending at his Gate.

To praise his Name is fweet employ;
Ifr'el he chose of old, and ftill

Blefs ye the Lord, who tafte his Love,
People and Priests exalt his Name;
Amongft his Saints he ever dwells,
His Church is his Jerufalem.

To fave us from our Woe,
From Satan, Sin, and Death,
And ev'ry hurtful Foe.
