When our Redeemer was betrayed; Before his Sufferings he took Bread, Gave Thanks, than brakeed, and thus he said, Take, eat, this is my Body broke Mat. 26.26, 27, 28.

His Eyes wept mournful Showers; Heb. 5.7. And all this Pain and Grief he felt For Crimes entirely ours. Isa. 53.5, 6. LORD, since our Pardon cost so dear, 1 Pet. 1.18, 19 Yet comes to us so free, Whence is it that our narrow Souls Show no more Love to Thee?

The great Achievements of his Grace In thankful Verse proclaim. True, they the highest Thoughts surpass, Can't be in Words expressed; Eph. 3.18▪ 19 Yet something of 'em you may tell, And wonder out the rest. Remember all his mighty Deeds, And all his Sufferings too, Phil. 2.6, 7, 8. How he abased his Glorious Self, To bleed and die for you.

Rivers of Pleasure there have place, And there are none of Tears. & 21.4. HYMN XXXII. [As the 100 Psalm.] LET all who love our Saviour's Name, Cant. 1.3, 4. That Name so full of Heavenly Grace, In Songs of Triumph spread his Fame Through every Age, and every Place. He kindly laid aside his Crown, Phil. 2.6, 7, 8, And Robes of awful Majesty, And in a Servant's Form came down To bear a Cross, and on it die. Heb. 5.7. Luk. 22.44 With Tears, and Sweat, and Blood besmeared Isa. 53.7. This Holy Lamb was sacrificed; Mat. 27.40— 44. By the rude Multitude was jeered, And by profaner Priests despised. 1 Cor. 15.54— 57 But dying thus, he plucked the Sting From Death; and rising from the Grave, job 18.14.

What copious Matter for a Song Gal. 3.1. Of Praises they afford! Mat. 26.30. Extended on a Cross we see The Lord whom we adore, Both giving and receiving Wounds, Col. 2. 1●. Bathed in Triumphant Gore. No Victor's Robe so rich a die Isa. 63.1. Before did ever stain, No Champion such a Victory Heb. 2.14, 15. Before did ever gain. Glory and Strength his Torments add To all his mighty Deeds; Heb. 2.10. His Enemies fly, and fall the more, The more he groans and bleeds. Tho the Law's Curse lights on his Head, Gal. 3.13. While Satan wounds his Heel, Gen. 3.15. His Body's bruised by Men, his Heart 1 Cor. 15.56. Death's cruel Sting doth feel; Yet with firm Courage he o'er all Bears up his Conquering Head, Till on their Captive Necks his Feet Col. 2.14, 15. In solemn Triumph tread. Isa. 63.3.

[As the 100 Psalm.] COME let us all, who here have seen, 1 Pet. 2.3. And tasted too our Saviour's Grace, From his blessed Table to his Cross, In Thought, his weary Footsteps trace. Luk. 23.33 Let's trace Him up to Calvary, Not flag as once his Followers did; Mat. 26.56. Who when they'd at his Table supped, Forsook their suffering Lord, and fled. john 18.1. Into the Garden first he goes, Mat. 26.38. Where Mortal Fears beset him round; Sins pressing Weight bows down his Soul, Mark 14. ●5. And sinks his Body to the Ground. Here, prostrate as he lay, he groans, And pours out Prayers with fervent Cries, Till he sweats Drops of Blood, to mix Luk. 22.44 With Floods that issue from his Eyes. Heb. 5.7. Yet are his Sorrows but begun; Mat. 26.48. By one Disciple he's betrayed, Another Him with Oaths denies, Ver. 69, &c The rest all run, like Sheep afraid. Ver. 31, 56 Falsely accused, he's doomed to die; Ver. 59, 60 Loaded with Blasphemy and Scorn, Ver. 66, 67, 68 He's rudely buffeted and bound, His Sacred Flesh with Scourges torn. Mat. 27.2. Ver. 26.

Between two Thiefs he lingering dies, Mat. 27.38. While thousand Tortures on Him meet; His Heart's dissolved within, his Blood Psal. 22.14, 15, 16. Flows out in Streams from Hands and Feet. These Streams, joined with that other Flood john 19.34. That gushed out from his wounded Side, Do make a Sovereign Bath, wherein Zech. 13.1. The Leprous Soul is purified. HYMN XXXV. Psal. 65.4.

There He his Loveliness makes known To all who love his Name, Isa. 28.5. And is to them a glorious Crown, And beauteous Diadem. Psal. 23.5.

Like one who has the Winepress trod, Ver. 2. Whose Clothes the Grape has purpled o'er? Ah! 'tis the Blessed Son of God, Isa. 53.5▪ All full of Wounds, all stained with Gore. A Mighty Conqueror indeed, Who conquers by receiving Blows; To give Wounds, first Himself does bleed; Heb. 2.14, 15. And by his Death subdues his Foes. He treads 'em down, though all Alone, Isa. 63.3. And with their Blood his Vesture's stained, But first is all bathed in his own, His own by many a Wound is drained. Col. 2.15. His Blood Hell's subtle Powers confounds, To them a Mortal Liquor proves, Luke 10.34. But is a Balm to heal our Wounds, A Wine to cheer the Souls he loves. joh. 19.34 & 20.25. The Vessels that contained this Juice, A Spear and ruder Nails did broach; And while his Flesh they wound and bruise, Ps. 69.20. His Heart was broken with Reproach. Isa. 53.5. But bruised, and broke, and mangled thus, This Sacrifice our Pardon gained; Mat. 26.26, 27. And thus prepared, is Food to us, By which we live, and are sustained. Ps. 78.24. Thrice happy they, whose Tents around Ps. 116.13 Such Heavenly Blessings still are spread! john 6.31, 32, 33. Whose Cup is with Salvation crowned, Their Board with True and Living Bread! Rom. 5.20. Praise him whose Mercies know no end, 2 Chron. 28.9. But to a vaster Sum arise Than Sins themselves; for these extend Ps. 108.4. To Heaven, but those above the Skies. HYMN XXXVII. [As the 100 Psalm.] OThers may tell of famous things Done by their Heroes and their Kings, The LORD we serve, them all exceeds Rom. 5.7, 8. For mighty Sufferings, mighty Deeds. The Torments he has undergone, 1 Pet. 1.12. The Glorious victories he has won, Armies of wondering Angels cause Rev. 5.11, 12. To fill the Heavens with loud Applause. Deep in our Breasts let us record 1 Cor. 11.24, 25, 26. The Story of our Dying LORD: As we his kind Memorials view, Mat. 26.30. Our Wonder, and our Songs renew. From Heaven the Lord of Glory came, jam. 2.1. On Earth to bear Reproach and Shame; Isa. 50.6. The Son of God his Face did cloud john 1.14. Under a mortal Body's shroud. The King of Kings a Crown adorns, Rev. 19.16. Isa. 6.3. compared with john 12.41. Instead of Gems, all set with Thorns: He whom the Angels praised and blest, Is made the Rabble's Scorn and Jest. The Meek, the Just, and Holy One Mat. 21.5. Under the Weight of Sin did groan. Acts 3.14, 15. The Prince of Life would learn to die, And be as Low as he was High. Phil. 2.6, 7, 8. 1 Tim. 4.8. He that distributes Crowns and Thrones, Rev. 3.21. Hangs on a Tree, and bleeds, and groans: Act. 10.39 He on a Cross resigns his Breath, Rev. 1.18. Who keeps the Keys of Hell and Death. 'Twas thus, because he'd have it so, joh. 10.11 That we his Wondrous Love might know▪ Mat. 26.48, 49, 50. To rescue us, he was betrayed; To make us free, a Prisoner made. Ps. 22.15. T' exalt us, in the Dust did roll; Isa. 53.4, 5 And broken was, to make us whole: To give us Pleasure, felt our Pain; Rom. 6.23 And died, that we might Life obtain. 1 Cor. 15.54— 57 Thus Sin, Death, and the Powers of Hell, Conquered, disarmed, and wounded fell. Col. 2.15. He mounted then his Throne above, Eph. 4.8. 2 Cor. 5.20 And conquers Sinners by his Love. LORD, since our Pardon, and our Bliss, 1 Cor. 6.20 Were bought at such a Price as this; 1 Cor. 7.22, 23. As Thou art ours, we be Thine alone; Thine will we be, and not our own.
