Relieving Chrift in his

peor Saints. Matt. xxv. 40.

1 JESUS, my Lord, how rich thy grace 1

Thy bounties how compleat!

How shall I count the matchlefs fum ?
How pay the mighty debt?

2 High on a throne of radiont light, Thou doft exalted shine :

What can my poverty beftow,

When all the world is thine.

3 But thou haft brethren here below,
The partners of thy grace;

And wilt confefs their humble names,
Before thy father's face.

4 In them thou may'ft be cloath'd and fed,

And vifited and chear'd:

And in their accents of diftrefs,
My Saviour's voice is heard.

5 Thy face, with rev'rence and with love,

I in thy poor would feel;

O rather let me beg my bread,

Than hold it back from thee.

RACE! 'tis a charming found;
Harmonious to my ear;

Heav'n with the echo fhall refound,
And God rejoice to hear.

2 Grace first contriv'd the way
To fave rebellious man;

And all the steps that grace difplay,
Which drew the wond'rous plan.

Grace taught my wand'ring feet,
To tread the heav'nly road;

And new fupplies I hourly meet,
While preffing home to God.

Grace all the work shall crown,
Thro' everlasting days;

It lays in heav'n the topmoft ftone,
And well deferves the praise.

That ranson which the Saviour paid;

That fight familiar to my view,

And, gently bow'd his dying head;
While love to finners fir'd his heart,
And conquer'd all the killing fmart.

What grateful tribute shall I bring?
Let all my pow'rs and paffions be,
Engag'd for him who dy'd for me.
