4 Then all the chosen feed Shall meet around the throne; Shall blefs the conduct of his grace, And make his wonders known. 5 To our Redeemer-God, Wisdom and pow'r belongs; Immortal crowns of majesty, And everlasting songs. CXI. A Vifion of the Lamb. Rev. v. 6, 8, 9 A LL mortal vanities be gone, Nor tempt my eyes, nor tire my ears; Behold amidst th' eternal throne, 2 All the affembling faints around, 3 The joy, the fhout, the harmony, 4 Our voices join the heav'nly ftrain, To be our teacher and our king. 5 His words of prophecy reveal, His 6 Thou haft redeem'd our fouls from death, With thy invaluable blood; And wretches that did once rebel, Are now made fons and heirs of God." 7 Worthy for ever is the Lord, By ev'ry tongue to be ador'd, And dwell upon his Father's throne. CXII. 1 Juftification by Faith, not by Works: Or, the Law condemns, Grace juftifies. Rom. iii. 19, 22. AIN are the hopes the fons of men, their own works have built; Their hearts by nature all unclean, 2 Let Jew and Gontile ftop their mouths, Without a murm'ring word; And the whole race of Adam stand Guilty before the Lord. 3 In vain we ask God's righteous law To juftify us now; Since to convince, and to condemn, 4 Jefus, how glorious is the grace! CXIII. Chrift unfeen, yet belo ved. I Pet. i. 8. OT with our mortal eyes, Have we beheld the Lord; Yet we rejoice to hear his name, And love him in his word. 2 On earth we want the fight, Of our Redeemer's face, Yet, Lord, our inmoft thoughts delight 3 To dwell upon thy grace. And when we taste thy love, Our joys divinely grow; Unfpeakable, like thofe above, CXIV. Dead CXIV. Dead to fin by the Cros of Chrift.

Luke, xv, 7, 10, W HO can describe the joys that rife, To fee a prodigal return; To fee an heir of glory born? 2 With joy the Father doth approve, The Soa with joy looks down and fees 3 The Spirit takes delight to view, CXVI. Chrift Jefus the Lamb of God, worshipped by all the I OME let us join our chearful fongs, 2 Worthy the Lamb that dy'd, they cry, To be exalted thus: Worthy the Lamb, our lips reply, 3 Jefus is worthy to receive And bleffings more than we can give, 4 Let all that dwell below the fky, CXVIII. |
