Come, ye weary, heavy laden,
Loft, and ruin'd, by the fall!
If you tarry 'till you're better,
You will never come at all:
Not the righteous:

Sinners, JESUS came to call.

View him, proftrate in the garden;
On the ground your Maker lies!
On the bloody tree behold him;
Hear him cry, before he dies,
"It is finifh'd."

Sinners! will not this fuffice?

Lo! th' incarnate Gop, afcended, Pleads the merit of his blood: Venture on him, venture wholly,

Let no other truft intrude;
: None but JESUS

Can do helpless finners good.
Saints, and angels, join'd in concert,
Sing the praises of the Lamb;
While the blissful heights of heaven,
Sweetly echo with his name.
Hallelujah!

Sinners, here, may fing the fame.

LXXX. The Son of Righteoufnefs. P. M.

L

IGHT of thofe, whofe dreary dwellings
Border on the fhades of death

Come, and by thy love's revealing,
Diffipate the clouds beneath;

The new heaven and earth's creator,
In our deepest darknefs rife :"
K

Scatt'ring all the night of nature,
Pouring eye-fight on our eyes.

Still we wait for thy appearing:
Life, and joy, thy beams impart ;
Chafing all our doubts, and cheering
Ev'ry poor benighted heart :
Come, and manifeft the favor

GOD hath for our ranfom'd race;
Come, fweet ADVOCATE, and SAVIOR,
Come, and bring thy gofpel-grace.

Save us in thy great compaffion,
O thou mild, pacific Prince!
Give the knowledge of falvation,
Give the pardon of our fins:
By thy all-fufficient merit,
Ev'ry burden'd foul release.

[ocr errors]

By the fhinings of thy fpirit,
Guide us into perfect peace.

LXXXI. At the Opening of Worship. C. M.
TOW may the fpirit's holy fire,

N Defcending from above:

His waiting family inspire,

With joy, and peace, and love!
Thee, we, the comforter confefs;
Unless thou'rt prefent here,
Our fongs of praise are vain address,
And lifelefs is our pray'r.

Wake, heav'nly winds, arife, and come,
Blow on the drooping field:
Our fpices then fhall breathe perfume,
And fragrant incenfe yield.
Touch with a living coal, the lip
That shall proclaim thy word,

And bid each hearer gladly keep
Attention to the LORD.

Haften the reftitution day,

Which now corruption fhrouds; New heavens, and new earth display,

With JESUS in the clouds.

LXXXII. The Glory of CHRIST in Heaven.C.M.D,

O

The delight, the heav'nly joy,

The glories of the place;

Where JESUS fheds the brightest beams,

Of his o'erflowing grace!

Sweet majefty and awful love,

Sit fmiling on his brow;

While all the glorious ranks above,

At humble distance bow,

Princes to his imperial name,
Bend their bright fcepters down
