Moses' Song, on Exod. 15.  


1  
I To the Lord, will sing,  
Triumph in him also;  
The Horses and the Riders he  
Into the Sea did throw.   

2  
Jehovah is my Song,  
And my Salvation;  
My God, for whom I will prepare  
An Habitation:    


3  
My Father's God was he,  
Whose Glory I'll proclaim,  
Jehovah is a Man of War,  
Jehovah is his Name.   

4  
Proud Pharaoh, and his Host,  
Into the Sea are cast,  
And his great Captains drowned be,  
As through the Sea they passed.    


5  
They down to th' bottom sank,  
Even like unto a Stone;  
Jehovah thy Right Hand in Power,  
Most Glorious is become:   

6  
Thy Right Hand hath destroyed  
Those that against thee risen;  
And in thy Glorious Excellency,  
Thou hast o'erthrown thy Foes.    

The second Part.  


1  
Thou didst send forth thy Wrath,  
Like stubble them to waste,  
Lord, thou didst blow, and the proud Waves,  
Overwhelmed them with a Blast.   

2  
The Sea stood up in heaps  
For Israel, (on each side)  
The Enemy said, I will pursue,  
I will the Spoil divide?    


3  
My Lust I will fulfil,  
My Sword draw out will I?  
My Hand shall now cut them all off,  
And Ruin utterly?   

4  
Thou with thy Wind didst blow,  
And they were covered,  
They in the Mighty Waters sunk,  
As if they had been Lead.    


5  
Lord, who is like to Thee,  
In Holiness Glor'us,  
Fearful in Praise, and also doth  
Things that are marvellous.      

A Prophetical Part of Moses' Song, Deut. 32.  


1  
GIve Ear, O Heavens, I will speak,  
and let also the Earth,  
Hear the good Words of my own Mouth,  
which now I shall bring forth,   

2  
My Doctrine like the Rain shall drop,  
my Speech distil shall as  
The Dew does on the tender Herbs,  
and showers on the Grass.    


3  
Because that I Jehovahs' Name  
will publish and make known;  
I will ascribe greatness to God,  
yea, and to him alone.   

4  
He is the Rock, and Perfect too  
his Ways and Judgements be;  
A God of Truth, and without Sin,  
both Just and Right is he.    


3  
Because their Rock unto our Rock  
is not to be compared;  
Yea, though our Enemies themselves,  
as Judges should be heard:   

5  
Vengeance is mine, I will repay,  
in time their Feet shall slide,  
Their dreadful Day it does draw near,  
and Woe shall them betid.    


6  
Because the Lord his Saints shall judge,  
and for them he'll Repent,  
When none shut up, or lift he sees,  
when all their Powers's spent.   

7  
Then sing ye Nations with his Saints,  
revenge their Blood will he,  
And render Vengeance to his Foes,  
but kind to his Saints be.     

The Song of the Prophet Isaiah. chap. 5.  


1  
I To my Wellbeloved, now,  
and of his Vine-yard (will  
Sing a sweet Song) which he has set,  
upon a fruitful Hill;   

2  
He Fenced it, and gathered out  
the Stones that did offend,  
He Planted it with choicest Vine,  
and it he did defend:    


3  
A Tower in the midst he built,  
and made a Winepress too,  
And looked that it should bring forth Fruit,  
his Glory great to show;   

4  
But it brought forth Wild Grapes: Alas!  
to thee, Jerusalem,  
And Judah also I'll appeal,  
and to all thinking Men;    


5  
'Twixt Me and my Vine-yard to Judge;  
what further do could I  
Unto my Vine-yard? when I looked,  
no Fruit could I espy:   

6  
Instead of Grapes, it did bring forth  
Wild Grapes: O then go to,  
Unto my Vine-yard, I'll declare  
what 'tis that I will do.    


7  
I'll take away the Hedge thereof,  
my Anger shall be shown,  
Eat up it shall, and it's strong Wall  
shall quite be overthrown;   

8  
And I will lay it Waste, and it  
not Dig, nor Prune again;  
But there shall come Briers and Thorns,  
and on it fall no Rain.    


9  
For the House of Israel, and  
the Men of Judah be  
The pleasant Vine-yard of the Lord;  
but when he looked to see   

10  
Judgement and true Justice done,  
Oppression did espy;  
And when he looked for Righteousness,  
behold! a bitter Cry.     

Isaiah's Joyful Song. Isa. 12.  


1  
JEhovah I will give thee Praise,  
this is the very Day,  
For thou dost sweetly Comfort me,  
thine Anger's turned away:   

2  
Behold thou my Salvation art,  
I will not be afraid,  
Jehovah is my Strength and Song,  
my Trust and saving Aid:    


3  
Therefore with Gladness I will draw  
Water out of the Wells  
Of Salvation (for they be  
thy People Israel's.   

4  
And in that Day shall ye all say,  
praise the Lord, on his Name  
Not only call, but for his Acts  
lift up his glor'us Fame.    


5  
Sing ye unto the Lord, for he  
most excellent things has done;  
And this throughout the Earth also,  
is now most fully known.   

6  
Cry out, and shout, and joyful be,  
all that in Zion dwell;  
For great the Holy One's in Thee,  
O happy Israel!     

The Song of Zacharias.  


1  
LEt Israel's great God and King  
eternally be Blessed,  
Whose come from Heaven to visit us,  
and see our bonds, released.   

2  
In David's House a Saviour's raised,  
to sit upon his throne;  
This ever since the World began,  
his Prophets have foreshown.    


3  
That he would save us from the Power  
and Malice of our Foes;  
The Mercy to perform to them,  
which he of old had chose.   

4  
He called to mind how he engaged  
his truth, by Covenant,  
His Solemn Oath to Abraham sworn,  
that he his Grace would grant    


5  
To serve him without fear; from all  
our Adversaries freed;  
And to continue all our days,  
a Holy Life to lead.   

6  
By the Remission of our Sins,  
to make Salvation known,  
To all his People every where,  
his tender Mercy's shown.    


7  
The Daystar from on high is rose,  
and those who also sit  
In Darkness, he in the right way  
of Peace will guide their Feet.     

The Song of the Blessed Virgin. Luke. 1.  


1  
MY Soul does magnify the Lord,  
my Spirit does rejoice  
In God, my Saviour, who deserv'st  
the Praise of Heart and Voice.   

2  
For his poor Handmaid he regards,  
whose Mind was sore depressed;  
And all Ages from hence forth shall  
call me most truly Blest.    


3  
He that is great hath Wonders done,  
and holy is his Name;  
His Mercies hath for ever been  
to his Saints, still the same.   

4  
He with his Strength hath pulled down  
the Mighty from their Seat;  
And them of Low and Base Degree,  
are raised to Honour great.    


5  
He filled the Hungry Soul, with Good,  
the Rich Empty remained;  
His Mercy he has called to mind,  
his People help have gained.   

9  
The Promise to our Fathers made,  
in the which he long stood,  
Engaged to Abraham and his Seed,  
he hath at last made good.     

The Song of Simeon, Luke, 2. 29.  


1  
NOw let thy Servant, Lord, depart  
in Peace, to quiet Rest,  
Since I have thy Salvation seen,  
and with the same am blest:   

2  
The Prophecies are now fulfilled,  
thy Promises are true;  
And thy Mysterious Love's disclosed,  
in all thy People's view.    


3  
A Light to lighten the Dark Earth,  
now this bright Sun appears,  
The Gentiles shall enlightened be,  
sweet Comforts shall them cheer.   

4  
Well may the long expected Sight,  
make Israel's Joy abound;  
Before with special Favours Graced,  
but now with Glory Crowned.     

The Song of the Lamb out of the Revelations  


1  
ALL ye that serve the Lord, his Name  
see that ye Celebrate;  
And yet that Fear him sing aloud  
his Praise both small and great. Rev. 19 5.   

2  
O thou great Ruler of the World,  
thy works our Wonder raise,  
Thou blessed King of Saints, how true  
and Righteous are thy Ways, Rev. 15. 3.

Who would not Fear and Praise thy Name,  
thou only holy One:  
The World will Worship thee, to whom  
thy Judgements are made known.   

4  
Most holy, holy, holy Lord,  
Almighty is thy Name,  
Which was before all time, and is,

All Glory, Power, and Honour, thou  
art worthy to receive;  
For all things by thy Power were made,  
and by thy Pleasure live. cha. 5. 12.   

6  
To thee, of right, O Lamb of God,  
Riches and Power belong;  
Wisdom and Honour, Glory, Strength,  
and every Praising Song.    


7  
Thou as our Sacrifice was slain,  
and by thy Precious Blood,  
From every Tongue and Nation hast  
redeemed us unto God.   

8  
Blessing and Honour, Glory, Power,  
by all in Earth and Heaven,  
To him that sits upon the Throne,  
and to the Lamb be given.     

Part of hannah's Song, 1 Sam. 2. [as 100th Psalm.]  


1  
My heart doth in Jehovah joy,  
My Horn in Jah is lift on high;  
My Mouth's enlarged o'er my Foes,  
In thy Salvation joy will I.   

2  
There's none so Holy as the Lord,  
No, no, there is none beside thee  
Of other Rocks, there is not one;  
That to our God compared may be.    


3  
Talk ye no more so Proudly then,  
Let not Arrogancy once proceed  
Out of your Mouth, for God doth know,  
And 'tis by him Actions are weighed.   

4  
The Lord both Poor and Rich does make,  
He raiseth up and pulleth down;  
thou Poor he up from Dust does take,  
And Beggars from the Dunghill Crown.    


5  
And sets them on a Princely Throne,  
In Glorious Power and Dignity;  
The Pillars of the Earth's the Lords,  
The World is his, him Glorifies.   

6  
He keeps the feet of all his Saints,  
Preserves them so they shall not fail,  
The Vile in darkness shall be still,  
For no man shall by strength prevail.    


7  
The Adversaries of the Lord,  
Shall broken be both great and small;  
The Lord from Heaven Thunder will,  
And in his Wrath destroy them all,   

8  
The Lord shall Reign most Gloriously,  
Unto the ends of all the Earth:  
And his Anointed Horn exalt,  
Therefore his highest Praise sing forth.

A Song of Praise for the Marvellous Deliverance of our Sovereign King, WILLIAM, with the Church, and whole Kingdom, from the Hellish Plot, Discovered, Feb. 1695 1695/6 6  


1  
NO change of Time shall ever shock  
Our firm Affections, Lord to Thee;  
For thou hast always been a Rock,  
A Fortress and Defence to me.   

2  
Our KING Preserved is, O God,  
By thy own hand and mighty Power;  
Thou Shield'st him when he is Abroad,  
At home to him a lasting Tower.    


3  
The Chariot of the King of kings,  
Or Troops of mighty Angels round,  
Encompass him with Rapid Wings,  
And all his Foes with Shame Confound.   

4  
Black Thundering Clouds most thick conspired,  
With Threatening Rage our Face to Veil,  
But at thy brightness soon retired:  
Upon our foes falls Fire and Hail.    


5  
The Lord doth on our Side engage,  
From Heaven his Throne Our Cause upheld,  
And snatched us from the Furious Rage  
Of Threatening Waves that Proudly Swelled;   

6  
God his resistless Power employed,  
Our cruel Foes attempts to break;  
Or else they might have soon destroyed  
The best Defence that we could make.    


7  
And God's Designs shall still Succeed;  
Rome's Bloody Sons can't stand the TEST,  
He's a Strong Shield to all that need,  
And on his sure Protection rest.   

8  
Who then deserv'st to be Adored,  
But God, on whom our Hopes depend,  
Or who, except the mighty Lord,  
Can with resistless Power defend.    


9  
O let th' Eternal God be Praised,  
The Rock, on whose Defence we rest  
O'er highest heavens his Name be raised,  
Who with Salvation us hath blessed '   

10  
Therefore to celebrate his Fame,  
Our greatfull Voices to Heaven we'll raise,  
Let Nations round dread his great Name,  
And all be Taught to Sing his Praise.    


11  
God to our King and Nation sends  
(Tho' Vile we be) Salvation sweet,  
deliverance to his Saints extends,  
To Praise his Name therefore 'tis meet.   

12  
hosannah's we to thee do owe,  
Let all the Nations Worship thee,  
And thee adore, yea thee alone,  
The Father of Eternity.    


13  
Thy Name in Songs we will adore  
Protect thy Saints, and Keep them Pure;  
To thee lets live for Evermore,  
Since from Cursed Plots we are secure.

HYMN 1.  
The Eternity of the Great GOD.  

IN th' Regions of Eternal Light,  
thou hast most Holy God;  
From everlasting in thyself,  
had thy own blessed abode:  
Before this World by thee was framed,  
or, Earth's Foundations laid;  
Or, the vast Heavens were spread forth  
or any Creature made.   


3  
Thou didst in Glory, Lord, abide;  
thy being hadst alone,  
In thy own Self, and none beside,  
was with the Holy One.   

4  
The Eternity of thy great Name,  
help us, Lord, to Adore:  
From everlasting thy dread Fame  
shone, and shall Evermore.    


5  
Thou Happy waist in thy own Self,  
and that in th' highest degree;  
To thy essential Glory, Lord,  
nothing can added be,   

6  
Thou needest not us; What canst thou have  
from any Creatures hand?  
Yet to ascribe all Praise to Thee,  
is thy most just Command.     

HYMN 2.  
The Immensity of GOD,  


THe Praise of the dread Majesty  
of the great God above,  
With trembling Heart I would sing forth,  
O with him fall in Love!

But what am I? poor sorry Dust  
that I should God admire!  
Be silent then, and let's give place  
unto the Heavenly Choir!    


3  
Thousands, and ten Thousands more  
of glorious Angels, stand  
' Round thy high Throne, and Thee adore  
in Songs at thy Command.   

4  
hosannah's they sing unto Thee,  
O Lord, continually.  
They worship and most perfect be;  
but, Ah! what, Lord, am I?    


5  
A Person of polluted Lips!  
how shall I then express  
The depth of thy Immensity?  
or thy Infiniteness?   

6  
I from thy Presence cannot go;  
what place, alas! is there  
To hid from Thee? for I do know,  
Lord, thou art every where!     

HYMN 3.

From sight of thy Allseeing Eye,  
O whither can we go!  
In all dark Places thou dost pry,  
thine Eyes walk to and fro.   

3  
Through the whole Earth, where can we hid?  
O! whither can we fly?  
Lord, from thy Presence; for thou art  
far off, and also nigh!   

4  
Shall we to Heaven mount aloft,  
lo, Thou art present there?  
Or, if we should go down to Hell,  
even there thou dost appear?    


5  
Yea, should we take us morning Wings  
and dwell beyond the Sea,  
There would thy Hand have hold on us,  
and quickly with us be?   

6  
Nay, if we say, The Darkness shall  
shroud us, Lord, from thy Sight,  
Alas! the thickest Darkness is  
to Thee, like to the Light?    


7  
Yea, Darkness hideth not from Thee,  
but Night doth shine as Day:  
Let's Praise Thee then both Day and Night,  
and sing to Thee always!

and sublime Rule likewise,  
'tis over all Things, and Persons here,  
and marvelous in our Eyes.   

6  
All Wisdom Saints and Angels have,  
from Thee it doth proceed;  
And from thy Wisdom we receive  
all good things we do need.

That flows over all Banks and Bounds  
amazing to behold;  
O'er all the World thy Mercy sounds,

HYMN 9  
A Sacred Hymn on GOD's Sovereignty.  


1  
THou Lord who didst all Creatures make,  
hast Power to dispose  
Of them, as seemeth good to thee:  
some therefore thou didst Choose   

2  
Unto Eternal Life and Bliss;  
and others didst Pass-by:  
Or didst them leave to their Heart's Lusts,  
and vile Iniquity.    


3  
If thou hadst left all Adam's Race  
Unto their evil Way,  
And not have given one Soul thy Grace,  
O who durst Thee gainsay!   

4  
Or have charged thee to be unjust,  
since all deserved to Die,  
'Tis Infinite Grace that any be  
saved Eternally.    


5  
Thou sendest thy Sweet Gospel Light  
to this, and to that Place,  
But dost to many Lands deny  
the word of thine own Grace:   

6  
And some that hear it never feel  
its Power on their heart;  
All is as thou art pleased to act,  
and sovereign Grace impart.    


7  
We therefore Lord exalt thy Name,  
that with our eyes do see,  
Since thou hast made the difference,  
all Praise belongs to thee.     

HYMN 10.  
GOD's glorious Bounty: Or, Grace shining.  


1  
THy Love, O Lord, is very great  
to such vile Ones as we;  
Such who lay Dead in Trespasses,  
are quickened by thee:   

2  
Thy Bounty to these Souls of ours;  
who can of it conceive:  
And those thou dost Regenerate  
this Bounty do receive.    


3  
'Tis they who are delivered  
from that Forelorn Estate,  
They once were in, when they lay Dead;  
whose souls, Lord, did thee Hate.   

4  
'Tis they whose Souls united be  
unto thyself, O Lord,  
And have Communion too with thee,  
thou dost this Grace afford.    


5  
Death can't dissolve this blessed Knot,  
this union doth remain;  
At Death such do to Jesus go,  
Death unto them is gain.   

6  
Well may such say unto their Souls,  
Return unto your rest!  
For they at Death to Glory go,  
and lie in thy Sweet Breast.    


7  
Their they do join with Seraphims,  
in blessed Harmony,  
To Sing and Celebrate thy Praise  
unto Eternity.     

HYMN II.  
Abounding Mercy of God in Christ.  


1  
IS there no Mercy in the Lord?  
sinners! can you say so?  
Of Mercy sing with one accord,  
Mercy doth overflow!   

2  
The Waters which are in the Sea,  
and Light that's in the Sun,  
Are fewer than thy Mercies are,  
to sinners quite undone.    


3  
Thy Bowels yearn in thee to those  
who in their Blood do lie;  
If they Believe thou wilt forgive  
all their Iniquity:   

4  
But some will not thy Mercy have,  
they it do not desire;  
In the right Way, do it not crave;  
nor after it inquire!    


5  
But you that see the Channel, where  
Mercy doth sweetly run,  
Exalt God's Name, and sing his Praise,  
until your Lives are done.   

6  
At Death and in the Judgment-day,  
God's mercy you shall find,  
If you do leave your evil Ways  
and have a changed Mind.    


7  
Redeeming Mercy that is sweet,  
and Pardoning Mercy sure;  
In Christ all Mercies join and meet,  
and evermore endure.     

HYMN 12.  
The Patience of God.  


1  
WHat Wrongs, great God, hast thou long born?  
(conceived they cannot be!)  
By daring Rebels, who provoke  
Thee unto Jealousy!   

2  
All Evils done in every place,  
before thine Eyes they are  
Throughout the World; And yet dostthou  
these Foes protect, and spare.    


3  
Tho' for Man's Treason down he fell,  
by thy revenging Hand;  
Yet he lifts up his bruised Bones  
his Maker to withstand;   

4  
And, though a feeble Foe he be,  
whom thou like Moths can crush,  
Yet still against the Bosses of  
thy Bucklar he does rush.    


5  
O what vile Monsters are Mankind!  
thus given to Rebel!  
Strange thou dost not, Lord, smite the Earth,  
and send them quick to Hell!   

6  
Man's sin for Vengeance loudly cries,  
yet Patience doth abound;  
Though Justice cries, Cut these Trees down!  
Why Cumber they the Ground?    


7  
Thy Patience still sorbears, we see,  
O it is Infinite!  
Therefore of it, we, Lord, will sing,  
and Praise Thee Day and Night.     

HYMN 13.  
Another on God's Patience.  


1  
WOuld Man forbear to seek revenge  
on such a cursed Foe,  
Who strives to Murder him each Day,  
and work his Overthrow?   

2  
But God waves all advantages  
of wrath, and vengeance too;  
And, by amazing Patience,  
doth daring Man outdo?    


3  
The Creature doth disdain his God,  
by whom he's clothed and fed,  
Yet God still spares this rebel Worm,  
who by the Devil's led   

4  
To fight against his Sovereign  
with cruel spite and rage;  
Yet God doth still forbear with him,  
even from Age to Age.    


5  
Fools ask not where th' Almighty is,  
but Glory to him give:  
Is not his Being most fully proved  
in suffering thee to Live?   

6  
Was he not GOD, he could not bear  
such Weights as on him lie;  
Weak Mortals soon are set on fire,  
and for revenge do cry!!    


7  
Why should not Patience make us sing,  
and God's great Glory raise?  
Lord, let thy Patience join with Love  
towards me all my Days!     

HYMN 14.  
On the Birth of CHRIST.  


1  
AWake my Soul, awake my Tongue,  
my Glory ' wake and sing,  
And celebrate the holy Birth,  
the Birth of Israel's King!   

2  
O happy Night that brought forth Light,  
which makes the Blind to see;  
The day Spring from on high came down  
to cheer and visit thee.    


3  
The careful Shepherds with their Flocks  
were watching for the Morn,  
But better News from Heaven was brought;  
your Saviour is now born!   

4  
In Bethlehem the Infant lies,  
within a place obscure,  
Your Saviour's come, O sing God's Praise!  
O sing his Praise for e'er.    

The Second Part, 25 th' Psalm Tune.  


1  
Heaven is come down to Earth  
Hither the Angels fly,  
Hark how the Heavenly Choir doth sing,  
Glory to God on high!   

2  
Blessed News indeed, be glad;  
Simeon O'ercome with joy,  
Sings with the Infant in his Arms,;  
Now let thy Servant die!    


3  
Wisemen behold the Star,  
Which was their steadfast Guide,  
Until it pointed forth the Babe:  
Let God be Glorified!   

4  
Heaven and Earth rejoice  
O Lord! and shall not I?  
Christ he is Born! Sinners sing Praise,  
For you he came to Die!      

HYMN 15.  
A Sacred Hymn of the Deity of CHRIST.  


1  
IN Thee, Lord Christ, we may  
Thy Father's Glory see;  
Thou his brightness and glory art,  
The Godhead dwells in thee.

Thou art a Man, yet God,  
In thee both Natures meet,  
That God and Man thou mightst Unite  
In Union great and sweet.    


3  
Thou must be Man to Die:  
Sing Praise, ye Saints, sing Praise!  
Christ must be God to Satisfy;  
His Glory therefore raise!   

4  
Such that behold Thee, Lord,  
The Father also see;  
And such a Mediator it did  
Behoove thee for to be.    


5  
Thou layest thy Hands on both,  
And dost to each display  
Most equally thy dearest Love;  
And therefore we must say,   

6  
There's none, Lord, like to Thee  
For in thyself does shine  
All Glories which the Father hath,  
most Sacred and Divine.     

HYMN 16.  
On CHRIST's Suretyship.  


1  
LOrd we've run out, and wasted all  
our Riches and our Store;  
And now our Credit is quite gone  
thou wilt trust us no more:  
Unless there is a Surety found  
we must in Prison lie,  
And bear thy dreadful Wrath, O God,  
unto Eternity.    


3  
And therefore Jesus thou didst send,  
no Friend had we to bring;  
All good from hence, we may perceive,  
doth from thy Bowels spring,   

4  
'Twas from the Worth and Dignity  
which in Christ's Person lay,  
He did God's Justice satisfy,  
and all our Debts defray.    


5  
O let Men dread how they despise  
such sovereign Grace and Love,  
Because Mysterious in their Eyes,  
and also far above   

6  
Depraved Reason to conceive,  
that such who guilty be,  
Should, by another's Righteousness,  
from Sin and Gild be free.

All praise and glory unto God,  
and to the Son whom we Adore;  
And to the Holy-Ghost likewise,  
be Praise for Evermore.

2  
Like to an Ointment Poured out,  
is thy sweet Name, and Favour;  
Wise Virgins compass thee about,  
for thy good Ointments Savour.    


3  
O Draw me with thy Cords of Love!  
we will run after thee;  
The King into his Chambers hath  
in Love Conducted me.   

4  
Thy rays will make our faces Shine,;  
in thee we will rejoice;  
Thy Love is better far than VVine;  
thou art the vpright's Choice!    


5  
But O thou, whom my Soul doth Love!  
Tell me, O tell me soon,  
Where feeds thy Flock; where is the place  
thou makest them rest at Noon?   

6  
Why should I stray and lose my way?  
till I at last do fall  
Among thy fellows Flocks (as they  
themselves do proudly Call.)    


7  
O fairest One; if thou wouldst know  
where thou shouldst feed and lie,  
The footsteps of the Flock will show  
the way asuredly?

O blessed Jesus thou art fair,  
my beauty is from thee!

and precious unto me!    


5  
Let others on their Dainties feed,  
and drink the richest Wine;  
My feasts doth all their feasts exceed,

HYMN 19

1  
MY Heart's Delight is Red and white,  
the Lily and the Rose:  
So sweet a Grace adorns his Face  
ten Thousand he outdoes!   

2  
Was he all White and was not Red?  
no Sufferer for my Sin?  
My Blood would rest on my own Head  
and no Joy have within!    


3  
But my dear Lord is Wite and Red,  
this mixture pleaseth me;  
Cause for my Sins he Suffered  
who from all Sin was free!   

4  
What a reviving Sight is this?  
a righteous Saviour ' s Blood  
Is th' bath of Sin, the spring of Bliss  
most Pure, most sweet and good!    


5  
His Godhead, and his Government  
are infinite and Pure;  
His Eyes are like the Eyes of Doves,  
most constant, so endure.   

6  
His Mouth is most exceeding sweet,  
he's altogether so;  
Down from his Head unto his Feet  
all joys and comforts flow:    


7  
O Sing his Praise for this is he  
my soul doth so admire;  
This is my Friend, if you would know,  
this is my hearts desire!

But thy own Glory? therefore we

1  
ALL the seraphic Train above  
are stooping down so low,  
To learn o'th' Church that Mystery  
past Ages did not know:

And this Salvation slight no more,  
O look, view him again!    


5  
How can ye see him bleed, and still  
retain your cursed sin?  
How can ye see him call to you  
and you will not come in?   

6  
O dearest Jesus, if a taste  
of Love be here so sweet,  
What will it be when we with Thee,  
our dearest Lord, shall meet?

For the day's near when we shall be

O wondrous Love, yea, Love indeed,  
that Thou so great and high,  
Who didst proceed from God, should bleed,  
and for poor Sinners die.    


3  
The Curse which was, O Lord, our due  
thou also didst endure;  
And in th' Grave lay till the Third Day  
our freedom to procure.   

4  
O depth, O length, O height of Love,  
none may compare with Thee,  
So low to lie that we so high  
at last might raised be!    


5  
Shall Sinners slight thy Love, O Lord,  
salvation not regard?  
No sin like this so great it is,  
was ever known or heard.

this Water, Milk, and Wine,  
Wine without dregs that off the Lees  
our Saviour did refine.    


3  
Here's Pardon without Wrath at all,  
white Garments without stain;  
A Conscience purged we may have here,  
and Ease that's free from Pain.   

4  
We may have all if we receive  
the blessed Lord of Life;  
But such who do reject this Grace  
shall one Day meet with strife.    


5  
Wrath will pursue such wretched Souls,  
and they escape shall not;  
But bring upon themselves sad Woe,  
yea, an Eternal blot.

Stand not then to dispute and Die,  
free offered Grace receive;  
Then good and thankful you shall be  
when once you do Believe.

be Glory, Honour, Fame;  
'Tis he that did salvation work,  
O sing unto his Name!

To him be Glory and high Praise,  
O worship at his Feet!  
In him God's Attributes do shine;

unto this mighty One;  
Let sinners bow unto this King  
who sits upon the Throne!

Let such who for another plead,  
which is, Lord, none of thine,  
Ashamed be, and see the need  
of further Light Divine.

which none meet with beside.

and Practice, thou dost hate;  
Ourselves, therefore, with wicked Men

our hearts lift up to Thee;  
And nothing shall our Peace destroy

O Lord what Tongue can tell   

2  
What their worth are! what Fool is there  
who doth refuse to buy?  
A bargain's here! and 'twill appear  
so to Eternity.

let every Soul then say,  
This Pearl will I purchase and buy

With purple Gore? Can ye forbear  
to grieve, shed tears, and mourn!   

4  
But did he die, and in our stead,  
that we might never die?  
O love this Lord, and sing his Praise;  
and on him all rely!    


5  
The fruits of Christ's most blessed Death  
in bleeding Hearts appear;  
Their sins, they see, have wounded him,  
and pierced him like a spear.

They look to him, therefore they mourn,  
and yet by Faith rejoice;  
They can't but grieve, nor yet forbear  
to sing with cheerful Voice.

in glory may appear.     

HYMN 47.  
Psal. 17. 15.— I shall be satisfied when I awake with thy Likeness. Sung at the Funeral of Mrs. SARAH WILMOT, July 14th, 1694.  


1  
SIng to the Lord, ye Saints of his,  
and thankfully express  
How sweet the due remembrance is  
of His pure Holiness:   

2  
And tho' his Anger burns apace  
it quickly slacks again;  
But, Lord, thy Favour and thy Grace  
for ever doth remain.    


3  
Tho' Sorrows lodge with us all Night,  
which makes us Weep and Mourn,  
Yet Joy comes in at Morning Light,  
and makes a Sweet return.   

4  
By Death thy Saints enter to joys  
prepared for them above;  
And they're for ever shall remain  
in endless Life and Love.    


5  
O there they see as they are seen,  
with clear unclouded views!  
O there they hear Lord! nothing else  
but sweet and Glorious News!   

6  
Anthems of Joy, of Love, and Praise;  
and Hallelujahs sing;  
Who would be fond of this vain World,  
from whence such Sorrows spring?    


7  
We shall be fully satisfied  
when we awake and rise:  
If we do Sleep in Jesus Christ  
we then shall win the Prize.     

HYMN 48.  
Salvation Shining.  


1  
O sing ye now unto the Lord,  
a new and pleasant Song;  
For he hath wrought by his Right Hand;  
to him doth Praise belong.   

2  
Salvation is, Lord, wrought by Thee,  
from Sin from Wrath and Hell;  
O sing to God continually,  
all who in Zion dwell!    


3  
'Tis thee, O Lord, we will exalt,  
and spread thy Glory forth.  
For thy Right Hand haste Wonders done  
For us, who dwell on Earth:   

4  
Our Enemies that are within,  
thou hast, O Lord, brought down;  
Our Foes also, that are without,  
by Thee, are overthrown.    


5  
Ye Righteous in the Lord rejoice,  
his Holiness proclaim;  
Be thankful, and with Heart and Voice  
sing to his glorious Name:  
For why, the Lord our God is good,  
and he has heard our cry?  
Since on our side, Lord thou hast stood,  
let's praise thee till we Die.     

HYMN 49.  
The Saints Holy Triumph.  


1  
TRemble all you who rest upon  
a Form of Godliness;  
As also ye that do draw back,  
whether 'tis more or less:   

2  
Rejoice ye Saints and do not fear  
you all are in Christ's hand;  
There's not a Soul that is Sincere  
but firmly it doth stand    


3  
Upon a Rock, and ne'er shall move,  
nor fall away; Besure  
Gods own Elect, who do him love,  
all trials shall endure.   

4  
Come Saints, Triumph, in the dear Lamb,  
your Lord, that once did Die;  
We that Believe in Jesus, have  
e'erlasting caufe of joy.    


5  
Come Law of God, what hast thou now  
of us for to demand?  
Thy Curses all did meet in Christ;  
who in our stead did stand:   

6  
Tho' such do Sin thou canst not Curse,  
thy Curses all did lie  
Upon our bleeding Lord, when he,  
our Sacrifice, did die?    


7  
Come Justice, where is now thy Charge;  
what hast thou now to show?  
We do to thee present the blood  
which from Christ's sides did flow:   

8  
We shall not fall who do believe;  
well may such sing; therefore  
Draw back they can't so as to Die;  
sing Praise for evermore.     

HYMN 50.  
The Power of God's Word.  


1  
O Lord, 'tis matter of high Praise  
thy Word on us doth shine;  
But Happy they who feel its rays,  
and glorious Power Divine.   

2  
O let poor Sinners feel their Sin  
prick them, as with a sword;  
And Purge out all that Filth within;  
so will we praise thy Word.    


3  
Enlightened Souls have cause to sing,  
who Wounded were by thee;  
True cause of joy to such doth spring;  
for they, Lord, He aled be;   

4  
And now in Robes, most richly decked,  
they to the King are brought;  
Surpassing Angels; for have they  
a Robe so richly Wrought.    


5  
We therefore throw our Crowns below  
thy High and Glorious Throne;  
And must all say, both Night and Day,  
thou Worthy art alone,   

6  
All Glory, Power, and Praise to have,  
by us for evermore;  
Thus let us Sing unto our King,  
and him in Heart adore.     

HYMN 51.  
Boundless Mercy.  
25th Psalm Tune.  


1  
OF Mercy still, O Lord,  
We will together Sing;  
And in sweet sacred Songs os Praise  
Exalt our glorious King:   

2  
Let Heart and Tongue rejoice,  
And say, Who's like to Thee?  
Among the gods there's none that Thus  
Forgives Iniquity.    


3  
We did not Pardon crave,  
When in our Blood we lay;  
But 'twas free Grace that moved Thee  
Our cursed Debts to pay.   

4  
This Pardon is this Day  
To sinners Offered;  
Oh! is there none that will come in,  
Whilst out thy Hands are spread!    


5  
You Happy are, O Souls,  
Who now forgiven be;  
And also over a short time  
You will it clearly see   

6  
Then Sing, tho' in the Dust  
You lie a little while;  
A Day is near that will make all  
God's pardoned Ones to smile.     

HYMN 52.  
A Call to Obedience.  


1  
THine Ordinances are, O Lord,  
like Pipes that run with Wine;  
We praise Thee now with one accord,  
for each Command of Thine.   

2  
Repent! Lord that's a mighty thing;  
but all who do not so,  
Thou down to Hell at last will bring,  
thy Wrath to undergo.    


3  
Believe! and shall we saved be?  
O Blessed be thy Name!  
For works can't not us justify,  
since Sinners we became.   

4  
Baptised be! Lord, some we fear  
do not of that approve;  
But such who are indeed Sincere,  
and truly do Thee Love,   

5  
Will do whatever Thou dost say;  
each Precept, Lord, is right;  
And That which some do loathe and hate,  
is Lovely in thy Sight.     

HYMN 53.  
Spiritual Joy increasing.  


1  
Rejoice ye that in Houses dwell,  
in Houses made of Clay,  
For Bodies of the Saints excel;  
and shall another Day:   

2  
Lord show unto thy Servants all  
thy Favour and thy Grace;  
And let us all both Great and Small  
Behold thy glorious Face.    


3  
O put great joy into our Hearts,  
so will we sing to Thee:  
And cause have more than those whose Corn  
and Wines increased be:   

4  
Sing to the Lord in Righteousness,  
his face do you behold;  
In Christ, God doth you richly Bless  
with Blessings manifold.    


5  
God is your God, you Union have  
through Christ, with him again;  
Your Bodies and your Souls are his,  
so ever shall remaiu:   

6  
Some joy in Wealth, and others do  
in Pleasures much abound;  
But such alone have cause of joy  
that have Gods favour found.     

HYMN 54.  
Christ our Glorious Shepherd.  


1  
NOw let us to our Shepherd sing;  
the Shepherd of the Sheep;  
Blessed are they, O Happy Souls,  
whom thou, Lord, Christ, doth keep:   

2  
And will you then go still astray,  
O see the Shepherd's come,  
He's come to seek, to search and find,  
and convey you all Home.    


3  
He looks about to see if he  
can find you in his fold;  
Can you forbear for to return,  
how can your Love be cold?   

4  
Ah! he for you did shed his blood,  
he for his Sheep did Die!  
And will you, Souls, your dearest Lord  
again now Crucify!    


5  
Besides, the Wolves are got abroad;  
O hear your Shepherd's Voice!  
O Sing unto your blessed Lord,  
and in him all rejoice:   

6  
Thou art our Shepherd and our Guide.  
our Prophet, Priest and King,  
Thou art our Life, our Light our Hope,  
from thee, our joys do Spring.    


7  
Then Ravished with thy Sacred Love,  
let us thy Glory raise;  
And mount our Souls to Heaven above,  
in Songs of lasting Praise;   

8  
And hate to mind a Stranger's Voice,  
thy Doctrine let us hear,  
That we with thee may all rejoice,  
when thou, Lord, shalt appear.     

HYMN 55.

2  
O blessed Day, in which we see  
God's Ordinance restored!  
Worthy art thou, O holy One,  
to be in Truth adored.    


3  
Dark Clouds of Error God expels,  
and Truth shines splendently:  
O may our Brethren be convinced,  
give them a seeing Eye:   

4  
You that Believers are, arise,  
and all Baptised be;  
Take heed you do not still despise  
Christ's Holy Baptism.    


5  
And let us all thy Name, O Lord,  
for evermore adore;  
That thy blessed Institutions are  
restored as heretofore.   

6  
If every Truth, Lord, be by us  
received in sincere Love,  
It will to us an Evidence be,  
we born are from above.     

HYMN 56.  
The Spiritual Bridegroom. Sung at the Administration of Baptism.

Their dearest Lord, who only is,

'Tis thou, Lord Jesus, we do Preach,  
and thy high Praises sing;  
Thou art our All, all Grace's from thee,  
and spiritual Blessings spring.    


3  
O who is like, Lord, unto Thee,  
thy Beauty doth exceed;  
Thy Glory is so infinite;  
in Thee's all things we need:   

4  
There's none thy Glory can set forth,  
yet thou dost condescend  
To be the Bridegroom of our Souls,  
our Joy, our God, our Friend.    


5  
Be thou to us above all things;  
Chief of ten Thousand be;  
Let those enamouring Lips of thine,  
endear our Souls to Thee:   

6  
O let thy Saints be ravished  
with Love begetting Love;  
Filled with eternal Joys Divine,  
which flow down from above!    


7  
O then with Angels sing the Praise  
of your most sacred Friend:  
The Glory of Christ Jesus raise,  
until your Days shall end.

YE Sinners now come in,  
Christ doth invite you all;  
Return, return, make Angels sing,  
Return for Christ doth call:   

2  
Lord, thou art Merciful,  
Most ready to forgive,  
And Pardon all that come to Thee,  
And do thy Son receive.    


3  
O leave your wicked Ways  
Before it be too Late;  
For those that love, and live in Sin,  
God's Soul doth loathe and hate:   

4  
But like a Cedar Tree,  
Which Lebanon forth brings,  
The Just shall grow and flourish so  
As laden Palmtree springs.    


5  
God's Temple Plants shall thrive,  
In his blessed Courts each one;  
And still produce their fruitful juice,  
When they to Age are grown:   

6  
Still Fat and flourish shall,  
God's Justice to express;  
Our Rock is he, most pure and free  
From all unrighteousness.    


7  
Then sing his Praises forth,  
Him Honour and Adore;  
For you shall sing unto your King  
In Glory evermore.     

HYMN 58.  
Christ's Vine-yard.  


1  
THy Vine-yard, Lord, was purchased,  
though wild it once did lie,  
And Barren was as any Ground  
thou couldst on Earth espy;   

2  
But thou much cost and pains hast shown,  
that it might fruitful be.  
Thy Sun doth shine, and Rain doth fall  
on it continually.    


3  
All Praise therefore to God on High,  
how great is thy blessed Care  
Of thy Own Church, and every Soul  
who truly are sincere.

We will the Praises of the Lord  
in sacred Hymns set forth;  
And sing therefore with one accord,  
whilst we do live on Earth,     

HYMN 59  
The Noble Vine.  


1  
THere is on Earth a Noble Vine,  
set in a Fruitful Place;  
The root thereof is all Divine,  
and full of Precious Grace:  
The Lord by his right Hand did Plant  
this Vine, and Vine-yard too;  
And shines upon each Gracious Saint,  
and waters it also.    


3  
Into this Vine-yard we are called,  
whilst others Idle stand;  
Lord help us all to work therein,  
and yield to thy Command.   

4  
Thy care is great of thy own Church,  
thou watcheth it each day;  
But fruitless Trees thou wilt pluck up,  
and throw them quite away.    


5  
But wilt prune such that fruitful be,  
we therefore thee adore,  
And in sweet Hymns we'll sing to Thee,  
now and for Evermore.     

HYMN 60.  
Redeeming Love.  


1  
O That we could as Angels do  
aloud God's Praises sing,  
For Wonders of Redeeming Love,  
from whence Soul Peace doth spring.   

2  
Shall Man, who at the Gates of Hell  
did Pale and Speechless lie,  
Not find a Tongue, and time to Speak?  
Stones against such will Cry    


3  
Than ye, th' Redeemed of the Lord,  
your thankful Voices raise;  
Who Reconciled are to God;  
sing your Redeemers Praise:

Sing and Triumph in boundless Grace,

Exalt, with shouts, all who Believe,  
your God continually.

2  
Thou hast thought on our Souls, we know,  
when they in Blood did lie,  
For which we praise thy Holy Name,  
and will thee magnify.    


3  
How Good art thou, to us, O Lord,  
what plenteous Food have we;  
Our Paths drop Fatness, therefore we'll  
sing praises unto Thee.

Put us, O Lord in Remembrance  
the Needful thing to do;  
That Satan may never prevail,  
nor work our Overthrow.     

HYMN 62.  
The Honour of Christ's Servants.  


1  
YE Servants of the Lord of Hosts  
who in his Vine-yard be;  
Who wait on him, and do his work,  
Praise him continually:   

Your honour, O it is not small,  
if you accepted are;  
And Servants be, than you are all  
both Sons, and Daughters fair.

Nay he Espoused hath you too,  
and in his Bosom will  
Lay you to all Eternity,  
your Souls with joy to fill.

Christ's Servants to become;  
So shall you have all Crowns at last,

or there is none like unto him  
in Heaven nor on Earth.    

HYMN 63.  
Christ the Saint's Strength and Guide.  

O Lord we praise thee with our Souls,

Of the great Dangers we are in,  
and tell'st us how to Live.  
'Tis thou must give us Power and Might,  
that we may Watchful be;  
O give us Strength, that Day and Night  
we may sing Praise to Thee!   

Our Steps direct, our Souls protect,  
and in the way of Peace  
Led us, we pray; then to th' last Day  
our Joy will never cease.  
Thou wilt not leave us, we do know,  
to Fight, or War, alone;  
But wilt assist us evemore,  
until all Danger's gone.   

Worthy art thou, therefore, O Lord,  
of Praise continually;  
Let all that is in us give Thanks,  
and Praise Thee till we Die.    

HYMN 64.

LOrd, of thy Mercy we will sing,  
thy Mercy hath no bound;  
They that have said, There is no Hope,  
thy Mercy sweet have found.   

2  
Sinners break forth, and in amaze,  
do you Rejoice, and say,  
There's Hope, that we may Mercy find,  
believe, and do not stay.    


3  
O Lord, thou dost not look that Men  
should Worthiness obtain:  
Or some inherent fitness get,  
much less be Born again,  
Before that they take hold on Thee,  
but presently Believe;  
And on thy Promise lay fast hold,  
and Ghrist straightway receive.

let Sinners say no more,  
There is no Hope; let all Believe,  
and thy free Grace adore.

who hast thy Father's Ear;  
All Glory and high Praise to Thee,  
who our sad shame didst bear.    


3  
Thy Blood was shed, and we are fed  
and nourished by Thee;  
And by thy Intercession are  
preserved continually.   

We need not fear what doth draw near,  
because thy Prayer is heard;  
For thou, according to our Day,  
will't Strength to us afford.    

Ye Saints Rejoice, lift up your Voice,  
Christ is at God's right Hand;  
Between God's Wrath and our poor Souls  
he evermore doth stand.

Lord not to us, not unto us,  
but to thy Glorious Name,  
Let all the Glory be ascribed,  
the Honour and the Fame.

Our works alas imperfect are,  
to Jesus we must fly,  
His Righteousness, and his alone  
is comely in thine Eye.

the Heart, if it be there.

Hell in a Rage: Sung at the Administration of Baptism.  


1  
LIft up your voice, sing and rejoice,  
where are your melting tears;  
Do Sinners turn, and to Christ run,  
this fills Satan with Fears;   

2  
This makes Hell sad, and Heaven glad,  
the Cherubs claps their wings;  
There's joy above to see what Love  
is in the King of Kings.    


3  
To such as we that Chosen be,  
and called by his Grace;  
Who naturally in filth did lie,  
condemned with Adam ' s Race,   

4  
But now made near and saved from fear,  
being raised up on high;  
Washed in Christ's Blood, enjoying Good;  
sing Praise continually.    


5  
Lord let these know, and away go  
assured of thy Love:  
And live each Day that all may say,  
they Born are from above:

cause to rejoice in them,  
Who being Sincere, may each appear  
with Christ, Amen, Amen.

1  
BEhold, and Wonder now,  
in a most sacred Song;  
O let's Exalt the Name of Christ,  
to him doth Praise belong.   

2  
A Wonder sure it was,  
and that in every part;  
Eor while he lay i'th' Virgin's Womb  
he lay in her own Heart.    


3  
That Son the Mother bore,  
the Mother did Create;  
Both perfect God, and perfect Man,  
a Wonder to Relate.   

4  
Lord Christ, thou art the Priest,  
and yet the Sacrifice:  
The Altar too art thou likewise,  
and Gift that Sanctifies.    


5  
Thou God-Man, King, and Priest,  
Almighty art yet Meek;  
Thou art most Just yet Merciful,  
the guilty cam'st to seek.   

6  
Thou never any failed,  
that sought thee in their need;  
Thou never quenched the smoking Flax,  
nor broke the bruised Reed.    


7  
Thy Life a wonder was;  
but here's a wonder more,  
That thou that didst all Kingdoms make,  
shouldst make thy self so Poor.   

8  
And wonderful it is,  
[that we this thing do see,]  
That thou, who art all Life and Love,  
yet few, alas! Love Thee.     

HYMN 75.

for us, be poured out;  
By thy Atonement, Lord, thou hast  
our Pardon brought about:   

4  
Our Surety for us did Die,  
O blessed be thy Name!  
Let Saints Praise Thee with one accord,  
yea, highest Praise proclaim.

1  
O Blessed Lord, what hast thou done?  
what kind of Spirit's this,  
That makes thy Saints with joy to run,  
and thy sweet Lips to Kiss?   

2  
How heavy and how dull are they,  
(how dead and carnal too;)  
Who in the Old Nature do abide,  
they nothing freely do.    


3  
Thy Saints are fired with thy Love,  
they in thy ways rejoice;  
And upwards they to thee do move,  
and sing with cheerful Voice.

Thy acceptation, Lord, of us,  
thy Love and Favour kind,  
Is Wages now enough for us;

until we come to Die.

In number they are more.

From whence thy Love and Goodness flows,  
And all things we do need:

Thy Curses all did meet in Christ,  
who did our Surety stand?    


3  
Come Justice, where is now thy Charge?  
what hast thou now to show?  
We do to thee present the Blood  
that from Christ's sides did flow:  
O blessed Wisdom infinite,  
'tis thou hast done the thing;  
Justice and Mercy now are joined,  
by our most blessed King!    


5  
But woe to such who slight this Grace,  
Salvation to neglect;  
God's Attributes with angry face  
will them at last reject:   

6

because they are set free;  
Their Crowns they throw, Lord, at thy feet,  
and will give Praise to Thee.

Pardon and Peace, and Life's in Thee,  
O thou art All in All!

And with my Saints partake;

Go up to yonder Mount,  
Thence look, and thou shalt ' spy,  
Clear as the Sun, what must be done,  
Presented to thine Eye?    


3  
Seest thou that Folded Flock,  
Whose Heart the Spirit ties;  
Whom Gospel-Order calls into  
Distinct Societies?   

4  
Seest thou the Pastures where  
They do together Feed;  
The Shepherd stands with both his Hands  
To give them all they Need?

Their Magna-Charta is  
My Word; that is thy Guide;  
O follow them that follow Me,  
And thy Foot ne'er shall slide!

2  
Christ he is ours by Deed of Gift,  
and that's a Title good;  
And Saints are his by Purchase Right,  
he Bought them with his Blood.    


3  
Say then, I'll have no Love but he,  
I like my Choice so well;  
And for his Spouse he will have Me,  
together let us Dwell.   

4  
He feeds among the Lilies White,  
there he doth most frequent;  
Amongst his Saints is his delight,  
to smell their fragrant Scent.    


5  
Their Graces are his sweet Repast,  
their Prayers and Praises are  
A Banquet to him, and their Faith,  
is his delicious Fare.   

6  
O Let but Me and this Church be,  
a garden of delight;  
To thee Lord, and with one accord,  
we'll Praise thee Day and Night.

YOu that are born again rejoice,  
and sing God's Praises forth;

who experience the new Birth:   

2  
And you that are not yet renewed,  
have cause to sing also;  
Because God doth afford the means,  
through which this Grace doth flow.    


3  
But none sweet Music truly make,  
in God's most holy Ear,  
But such who do thy Grace partake,  
and truly changed are.   

4  
O Tremble then, and take good Heed,  
rejoice with holy Dread;  
Lord whilst we live let's sing thy Praise,  
and do it as we read!

HYMN 66.  
Saints happy at Death. Sung at the Funeral of Mr. JOHN LOINS, June the 26th. 1692. Who (to the great Grief of his Godly Friends) was accidentally Drowned in the River of Thames.  


1  
THe Length of all our Life and Age,  
O Lord, is in thy hand;  
And we must go when thou dost call,  
and yield to thy Command.   

2  
Our days are few, and pass away,  
like as a shadow flies;  
Let's ready be, O Lord we pray,  
and shun all Vanities.    


3  
When we go out of our own Doors,  
none knows what may befall,  
Or come on us, e'er we return;  
Life's uncertain to all.   

4  
O call to Mind, remember then,  
our Time consumeth fast;  
Why hast thou made the Sons of Men,  
as things in vain to waste?    


5  
What Man is he that Liveth here,  
and Death shall never see?  
Or, from the hand of the dark Grave,  
can, Lord, delivered be?   

6  
But blest are they, who die in Christ,  
their Death to them is Gain,  
Their Souls do go to Paradise;  
the Wicked go to Pain.    


7  
Praised be God for Jesus Christ,  
who gives such Victory  
Unto thy Saints, o'er Sin and Death;  
sing Praise continually.   

8  
The Godly lie in a sweet Sleep,  
they sleep in Jesus do;  
And no more Pain, nor Sorrow shall  
for ever undergo.     

HYMN 90.  
Saints the Salt of the Earth.  


1  
IF Saints, O Lord, do Season all  
amongst whom they do Live,  
Salt all with Grace, both Great and Small  
they may Sweet Relish give;   

2  
And blessed be thy glorious Name,  
in England Salt is found;  
Some Savoury Souls who do Proclaim  
thy Grace, which doth abound.    


3  
But O the want of Salt, O Lord,  
how few are Salted well;  
How few are like to Salt indeed,  
Salt thou thy Israel!   

4  
Now sing ye Saints who are this Salt,  
and let all Seasoned be  
With your most Holy Gracious Lives;  
great need of it we see.    


5  
The Earth will else Corrupt and Stink  
O Salt it well therefore,  
And Live to him that Salted you,  
and sing for evermore.     

HYMN 91.

To all that do Love Thee.   

2  
In short, This is the Man,  
He's altogether Love;  
Yea, altogether Lovely's he  
To whom my Soul doth move!    


3  
You Daughters this is he,  
This my Beloved is?  
No Tongue can tell, no Language can  
Express that Love of his!   

4  
The Drops that fill the Seas,  
Go, count them every one?  
Then join the number, if you please,  
Of Stars till there is none?    


5  
To these, the Sands, the Hairs,  
And all things else in sight;  
Hyperbolise Immensity,  
And run to Infinite?   

6  
This my Beloved is,  
He is the total sum  
Of all Perfections, and the Bliss  
Of all that to him come.    

7  
Then sing his Praise, and say,  
Thou dost excel all Men;  
Thou fairer art than ten Thousand;  
Hallelujah. Amen.    

HYMN 92.  
The Rose of Sharon.  


1  
SHaron the Garden of the World,  
the Pride of Palestine;  
Whose Natural soil more Glory bore  
than Solomon could resign;   

2  
Can ne'er produce so sweet a Rose  
as I will be to Thee.  
So fair a Lily never grew,  
Sharon must stoop to Me.    


3  
O Blessed Jesus, dost thou say,  
who'll have a Rose so sweet!  
Who will refuse our Sharons' Rose,  
that knows its fragrant scent?   

4  
Upon the Cross thou was Distilled,  
we taste in Distillation,  
The sweetness of the absent Rose,  
by Faith and Acceptation.    


5  
Thou art a Rose, my Soul's repose,  
O let me never be,  
My Dearest Lord, a Thorn to thee,  
who art so sweet to me.   

6  
Thou art the Lily of the Vale,  
a matchless Purity.  
And I will sing thy Praise since thou  
dost in my Bosom lie.     

HYMN 93.

A Person you shall see,  
Whose Eyes like Doves are washed with Milk  
and Water this is he?   

2  
He hath a kill Eye, 'twill Pierce  
through Adamantine Ears;  
And wound a Rock but with a look,  
and melt it into Tears.    


3  
Eyes that are clear and fitly set,  
that can see all things past,  
And all things present and to come,  
as long as Time shall last:   

4  
Whose Eyes are Pure, Holy and chaste,  
never defiled with Sin;  
That never was in the least Promped  
to take foul Objects in.    


If such a One you meet, whose Eyes  
like Flames, and Lamps of Fire  
Strikes Dead, and yet gives Life thereby,  
'tis he that I desire?   

6  
This is the Man I seek, and praise,  
Allseeing, and All-Eye:  
Tell him, if such a one you meet,  
'tis for his Love, I Die!

in their great Master's Name.   

2  
That unto Captives do declare  
glad Tidings; and do tell  
To Sinners, there's a Ransom found,  
to save their Souls from Hell. 
Mr. D.     


3  
Who say to Saints, who interest have  
in Thee, their dearest Lord,  
Thou wilt them all for ever Save,  
such Grace thou dost afford:   

4  
Mount Sinai's fiery Law can't break  
a Heart that's like a stone;  
The Creature's Arrows at the Walls  
of Brass, in vain are thrown.    


5  
'Tis only Pardon that doth melt,  
and Love doth sinners draw:  
We therefore, Lord, will sing thy Praise;  
grace does exceed the Law.

thyself, in Faith and Love,  
May sing thy Praise on Earth, for they  
shall also sing above.
