To furvive the trying hour.

Of eternal life and love..

The fallen fons of Adam's race,
Above the reft, ought to declare

Both feen and unfeen, we have found
The hand that faveth from all ill,
To be our God and Saviour' ftill.

For wholly in thy grace we trust,
Whofe love is fet upon the just.

A Figurative Defcription of CHRIT as a SHEPHERD.

I

C

HRIST, the GOOD SHEPHERD of his sheep,
Doth fafely keep them from all harm;
But hirelings either fall asleep,
Or fleeth at the wolf's alarm.

2 How bleft then are that little flock,
Who in his paftures fafely feed?
In drought unto the fhady rockk,
And living streams' he them doth lead.
3 He of himself his life laid down,
That he eternal life might give;

And this to all he will make known,
Who ftill on barren mountains live.

4 Though far and wide his fheep have stray'd, Amidit the dark and cloudy day;

They of one. fold fhall all be made,

m

And their CHIEF SHEPHERD's voice obey.
5 Hence we'll promulge his name with joy,
And gladly fpread the joyful found;
For he at laft will death deftroy,
Till evils no where fhall be found!
