O thou whofe bowels move
With pity to mankind,

Now fend thy Spirit from above,
That we true peace' may find..

Our feeble fouls to thee,

That we may praise thee with delight
To all eternity.

OD's love we may trace,

Through Jefus's grace,

To Adam and all his degenerate race.

2 The vileft may fee

How full and how free

This love was display'd" when he pray'd on the tree.

3 Grim death to invade, Atonement he made,

And bore all our fins, which

upon him were laidy!

4 Though 'twas with much pain

Our peace to regain,

In triumph o'er death, he the monster hath flain!

5 Amazing what love

His bowels doth move!

He calls upon alla men falvation to prove.

6 By faith then draw near, And pray without fear;

The God of Elijah is waiting to hear.

The humble defire,

And freely bestows what poor finners require

8 We therefore attend;

O God now defcend,—
Confume, and for ever of fin make an end.

3 That we might obtain

God's favour again,

This lover of finners for finners was flain".

4 What spirit that fell,

Or feraph can tell,

The pain he endured to fave us from hell?

5 Lo! ftill at God's throne

His blood doth atone,

And makes interceffions for finners alone.

6 Aftonishing grace!

That God fhould embrace,

And give fuch large blessings unto a loft race.

To fall at thy feet,

This wonder of wonders with joy to repeat!

For freedom from Sin and fitness for Heaven.

LORD, fet us free,

Who call upon thee,

For long we have lived in captivity.

2 Now break off our chains,

And purge out the ftains

Of fin, and deftroy all its curfed remains..

3 Could we but believe i

We all fhould receive

Thy Spirit, to help us obedient to live.

4 We therefore refign Ourselves to be thine,

And earnestly strive for the kingdom divine.

Transform us in love,

And make us all meet for the mansions above.

2 Take off the galling yoke°
Of fin and mifery,

And let the fetters all be broke,
Of our captivity.

3 By LOVE's fubduing pow'r
The force of fin repel;
And fave us in temptation's hour
From all the pow'rs of hell.

4 When waves' like mountains rife,
Calm thou the raging fea;
Force all that hell can e'er devife,
To bow and yield to thee.

5 Lo! how they stand aghaft
Amidft yon burning lakes,
Who into hell for fin were cast:
They tremble', fear, and quake !

6 Whilft myriads round thy throne,
Of faints and angels bright,
Exulting there praise God alone
With wonder and delight!

7 Alfo at thy dread nod,

The wicked' here are flain !
They feel, when fmitten" with thy rod,
Excruciating pain!

8 But Jefu's little flock

Are in thy fight approv❜d:

Their church is built upon a rock,
Which cannot be remov❜d.

Our covert thy eternal" hand,
By whom all things were made!

And triumph o'er the grave:
Behold, and with our latest breath
Praise him who thus can fave.

CLIX.

On Thunder and Lightening.

LMIGHTY Godd! how great art thou?
In ev'ry place thy pow'r is known:

I

Beneath thy rode the wicked bow,

And own that thou art God alone.

2 When thunders from on high doth roll
With awful noife through earth and skies;
Where fin is, fear arrefts the foul
With fudden horror and furprise !

3 Guilt flashes in the finner's face,-
For confcience God's vicegerent speaks,
And forcibly defcribes his cafe:
Hence, while alarm'd, he mercy feeks.
Of death afraid and felf-condemn'd,
His naked foul he fain would screen:
All things around him feems inflam'd,
That just before were quite ferene.

5

Not fo with thofe who feel his love!
When forked light'nings fwiftly fly,

They know JEHOVAH reigns above,,
And in his arms they fafely lie.
