CCXXXIV. To the facred Three.

1

ATHER of glory, to thy name,
Immortal praise we give;

Who doft an act of grace proclaim,
And bid us, rebels, live.

2 Immortal honour to the Son,
Who bought us with his blood;
Our lives he ransom'd with his own,
To bring us near to God.

3 To the Almighty Spirit be,
Immortal glory given :
`Whose pow'r unites our fouls to thee,
And, trains us up for heav'n.

4 Let men, with their united voice,
Adore th' Eternal God:

And spread his honours, and their joys,
Thro' nations far abroad.

5 Let faith and love, and duty join,
One gen'ral fong to raife;

And faints in earth and heav'n combine,
In harmony and praise.

To Jefus Chrift.

HO can have greater caufe to fing?
Who greater caufe to bless,

Than we, the children of a king ?
Than we who Chrift poffefs. -

2 With angel-hofts, dear Lamb, we join,
To praise thy love and pow'r ;
To magnify thy grace divine.
Thou mighty conqueror.

3 We late were Satan's captives led,
And hell had been our end;
Hadft thou not for our pardon bled,
Thou finner's only friend.

4 For this we ne'er will hold our tongue,
Nor fhall our praises cease:

We evermore will fing that song,
The Lord our righteoufnefs.

5

No other God, we know but thee;

None else did us create ;.

Thy glory fhall we ever be,

O holy Advocate.

6 'Twas thou, 'twas only thou didst take,
The mediator's place;

When we the Father's ftatutes brake:
All hail, thou prince of peace.

7 We daily prove thee ftill the fame,
Whene'er we look to thee;

Thou bearest still a Saviour's name ;
Our Saviour thou fhalt be.

8 Nor law, nor fin, nor hell, nor death,
Shall us from thee divide:

Strongly we hold that precious faith,
For us the Saviour dy'd.

Calling to follow Jefus.

OME my Father's family,

Ye ranfom'd of the Lord:

Come ye finners, who with me
Are ev'ry where abhorr'd.
Let us gladly trace his steps,

Who fuffer'd death among the jews ;
Who the friendless foul accepts,
Whom all befide refufe.

2 Jefus the defpis'd and mean, Our mafter let us own;

He the facrifice for fin,

The Saviour he alone.
Let us take and bear his cross,
Defpis'd difciples let us be;
Mock'd and flighted as he was

For you, my friends, and me.

3 None but Jefus will we fing,
None else will we adore;
He our prophet, prieft and king,

Shall be for evermore.

None among the heav'nly pow'rs,

Nor one on earth our praise may claim,

None but Jefus call we ours;

None but the bleeding Lamb.

CCXXXVII. For Persons joined in Fellowship.

O we are journeying home to God,

'L° Bid by the Spirit move;

And in the way his children trod,
In those bleft courts above.

2 We walk a narrow path and rough,
And we are tir'd and weak:

Yet foon we shall have reft enough
In those bleft courts we feek.

3 Nigh to the country we appear,
Stov'd with eternal blifs;

We know we quickly shall be there :
In fight our city is.

4 Upon mount Sion's distant top,
A Lamb our eyes behold;

'Tis Jefus look, ye children, up,
He calls us to his fold.

5

Our Saviour tells us there is room
For us ; and we believe:

We come, Lord Jefus ! lo, we come,
Thy promis'd kingdom give !

CCXXXVIII.: Bleffing God for his Goodness to Soul and Body. Pfal. ciii. 1, 7•

'B

LESS O my foul, the living God,

Call home thy thoughts that rove abroad:

Let all the pow'rs within me join,

In work and worship so divine.

2 Blefs, O my foul, the God of g
grace;
His favours claim thy highest praife:
Why fhould the wonders he hath wrought
Be loft in filence, and forgot?

3 'Tis he, my foul, that fent his fon,
To die for crimes, which thou haft done
He owns the ranfom and forgives
The hourly follies of our lives.

4 The vices of the mind he heals,

And cures the pains that nature feels;
Redeems the foul from death, and favės:
Our wafting life from threat'ning graves.

5 Our youth decay'd his pow'r repairs
His mercy crowns our growing years:
He fatisfies our mouth with good,
And fills our hopes with heav'nly food.

6 He fees th' oppreffor, and th' oppreft; And often gives the fufferer's rest ;

But
