Who can refift thy heav'nly Love,
Or trifle with thy Blood?

'Tis by the Merits of thy Death,
The Father finiles again;
'Tis by thine interceeding Breath
The Spirit dwells with Men.

'Till God in human Flesh I fee,
My Thoughts no Comfort find
The holy, juft, and facred Three
Are Terrors to my Mind.

But if Immanuel's Face appear,
My Hope, my Joy begins!
His Name forbids my flavifh Fear,
His Grace removes my Sins.

While Jews on their own Law rely,
And Greeks of Wisdom boast

I love th' incarnate Myftery,
And there I fix my Truft.

HYMN CXXIII.

O come let us fing unto the LORD.
ISCIPLES of Christ,
Ye Friends of the Lamb,

D'

Attend and affift

In finging his Fame :
Eternal Thankgiving
The Faithful fhould pay,
The living, the living,
As we do this Day.

A Body of Clay,

He humbly put on,
And then took away
The Sin we had done;
And in it endured

The Wrath to us due,
The Curfe we incurred,

Our Stripes and our Woe.

Not only he dy'd,

But alfo arose,

Laid Weakness afide,

And over his Foes,

(Sin, Death, and the Devil)

He triumphed o'er,

And every Evil,

Dominion and Pow'r.

O merciful Lamb,

Who fits on the Throne,

We bow at thy Name,

We count thee alone
Deferving our Bleffing,
And Bleffing we'll give,
Without ever ceafing
So long as we live.

HYMN CXXIV.

Adult-Baptifm.

ESCEND, celeftial Dove!

Din ev'ry Bofom dwell;

Upon the prefent Water move,
While we the Influence feel.

Anoint with holy Fire,
Baptize with purging Flames
This Soul, and with thy Grace infpire,
In Ceafelefs living Streams.

Thy heav'nly Unction give,
Thy Promife, Lord, fulfil;
Give Pow'r thy Spirit to receive,
And Strength to do thy Will.

Thy Ord'nance we obey,
O meet us in the fame:

And with this Water now convey
The Virtues of thy Name.

Witness to this thy Sign,
And grant the inward Grace;
Let this thy Servant feal'd for thine,
From hence depart in Peace,

TH

HYMN CXXV.

Infant Baptifm.

THUS did the Sons of Abr'ham pafs Under the bloody Seal of Grace; The young Difciples bore the Yoke, 'Till Chrift the painful Bondage broke.

By milder Ways doth Jefus prove
His Father's Cov'nant and his Love!
He feals to Saints his glorious Grace,
And not forbids their Infant-Race.

Their Seed is fprinkl'd with his Blood,
Their Children fet apart for God;
His Spirit on their offspring fhed,
Like Water pour'd upon the Head.
Let ev'ry Saint with chearful Voice
In this large Covenant rejoice;
Young Children in their carly Days,
Shall give the God of Abr❜ham Praise.

HYMN CXXVI.

Original and actual Sin confefs'd and pardon'd.

ORD, we would spread our fore Distress
And Guilt before thine Eyes;

Againft thy Laws, against thy Grace,
How high our Crimes arife!

Shouldst thou condemn our Souls to Hell,
And crush our Flesh to Duft,
Heav'n would approve thy Veng'ance well,
And Earth must own it juft.

Cleanfe us, O Lord, and chear each Soul
With thy forgiving Love;
O make our broken Spirits whole,
And bid our Pains remove.

Let not thy Spirit quite depart,
Nor drive us from thy Face;
Create a-new our vicious Hearts,
And fill them with thy Grace.

HYMN

CXXVII.

Behold the Man.

E ferious Souls, draw near,
My Song of Jefus hear :

YE

Rolld in Blood his Garments fhine, See him g'oriously divine;

On his Hands your Names appear, Come with me, his Kingdom fhare.

Rivers of Pleasures flow

From him for you to know; You, who for your Saviour mourn; You, by Blood and Water born; You, who glad the Word receive; You, who taught of God believe. Th' exalted Saviour fee,

He liv'd and dy'd for thee: For you he came down from God, Empty'd all his Veins of Blood; This, the Lamb for Sinners flain, Guilty Souls, Behold the Man 1 Come near ye weary, come! His Arms fhall make you Room! He, the Fruit of Jeffe's Stem, Opens you the living Stream; Jefus, born of David's Line, You unto himself fhall join. Your Folly he fhall hide, And bury in his Side; O come near, his Mercies tafte, Let your Sins on him be caft; Bold approach, for he shall bear All your Burden, all your Care.
