For ever in his name be glad.

Sun, moon, and stars, in heav'n above,
And feas, whofe waves he made to flow,
Proclaim his glory and his love.
Govern'd are they, upheld, and mov'd,
By Zion's great Almighty King;
Rejoice in him, his children lov'd,
And of his tender mercies fing.
Lo, all in Adam finn'd and dy'd,

But fov'reign grace is magnify'd,
In quick'ning of his chofen feed.
Though you, by Adam's one offence,

Expreffed bright in Jefus' face!

And bore it firft, tho' Lord of Hofts,
Your crown of glory to obtain.

And they with scandal blot your name;
Rejoice, your name is found among

Thro' fire he'll purge you from your drofs;
Thro' floods his hand fhall you fuftain;

Behold, he comes, the Morning Star,
Firft-born of all his chosen ones;
His brightness fee, out-fhining far
Ten thousand thousand flaming funs.
His angels ftrong in raptures burn;

They bring his faints home at his word: Then, cloth'd with fhame, the wicked mourn Then ye are fashion'd like your Lord.

Lo, down to outer darknefs, then,"
His foes by his great pow'r are thrust;
Ye to their doom fhall fay, Amen,
Rejoicing in his judgment juft
Lo we, redeem'd from fin and fhame,
All fpotlefs in his tent divine,
Circling in vifion of the Lamb,
Round all eternity fhall fhine.

Our King hath conquer'd death and hell;
No evil now can us befal:
Within his palace fair we dwell,

Where God himself is all in all.
The fin and darkness, paft away,
Jehovah never more fhall frown;
Jehovah's our eternal day;

The Lamb is our eternal Sun.

Triumph in God, and praifes fing
To him in whom we are approv'd:
While God omnipotent doth reign,

His faints fhall never more be mov'd. ́

THE

THE LORD's PRAYER PARAPHRASED.

O

UR Father, who owneft that dear holy name, O deal thou with us as becometh the fame; We doubt not thy wisdom, thy pow'r, nor thy love: Thy love, and thy wisdom, and pow'r, let us prove. Direct us, protect us, and comfort us still; Advife us, chastise us, deny us our will:

We ask of thee nothing but this, great or small,
That thou, only thou, mayft be all and in all.

Thy name, holy Father, be hallowed ftill;
With filial feelings thy family fill;
With high emulation thy children infpire,
And keen-burning zeal to refemble our Sire;
Conduct us, inftruct us in brotherly love,
All blanielefs and harmless as thy Holy Dove;
Univerfal our love and our bounty to all,"
As thy fhow'rs and bleffings diffufively fall.

Thy kingdom, our Father, fo holy and pure,
We wish in our hearts may for ever endure:
Thou art everlasting; thy kingdom's the fame;
No kingdom but thine e'er deferved the name:
Advance it, enhance it, with glory and pow'r;
We meet it, and greet it, with joy ev'ry hour:
Let all the evanifhing things pafs away,
And haften thy kingdom and glory, we pray!

Thy will, over all the terreftrial ball,
Be done as above, where 'tis holiness all:
In all thy beloved fubdue ev'ry fin

By the pow'r of thy Spirit, refiding within.
Infpire us, and fire us, with heavenly love;
That, foaring, exploring, we onward may move,
Advancing from glory to glory and strength,
Until we be with our Redeemer at length.

With food all-fufficient, and daily, and due, We trust in thy promifes faithful and true, That thou wilt supply us, and give us enough, Without our perplexities touching the stuff:

Perfuade

Perfuade us, and lead us in thy holy way,
Obfervant and fervent in spirit to-day,
To do to our Father whatever we do,
And leave for to-morrow the cares of it too.

Forgive us our trefpaffes; Father, forgive;
For who without trefpaffing daily can live?
All glory to thee, who in Christ haft forgiv'n,
And freely abfolv'd us, O Father in heav'n!
Forgiven by heaven, we alfo forgive

Each other, as brothers who tenderly live:
Compaffionate, courteous, pitiful, kind,
Let us, like our Father, be always inclin❜d.

O never expose us to th' heat of the day,
Nor on us a burden too heavily lay;

But hold with thy hand, and o'erfhade with thy wing,

Thou Father Almighty, our Shepherd and King:
O fhield us, and yield us the victory foon,
When tried and plied by that evil one:

When Jordan is fwelling, and death is the flood, O reach down, and fave, who haft wash'd us in blood.

Amen to thy name, and amen to thy will; Amen to thy wifdom, thy pow'r, and thy fkill; Amen to thy kingdom, thy truth, and thy love; Amen to thy coming with thy faints above; Amen to the THREE-ONE, who bear the record, The Father, the Word, and the Spirit-the Lord, Our Father Jehovah, ONE GOD, evermore: For thine is the kingdom, the glory, and pow'r.
