Truth divine will fay depart,
But this holiness we find,
In the Saviour of mankind.

Where for refuge hall we flee?
Chris our great redemption fee!

View this myfry with defire;
Hark! the bright enraptur'd throng
Catch, and raife the grateful fong.

Since you're fav'd from endless night,
And fince we are rais'd to you,

By him fupported all things fland;
He is the whole creation's head,
And angels fly at his command.

He led the hot of morning stars
Thy generation who can tell,
Or count the number of thy years?
4 But lo, he leaves thofe heav'nly forms,
The Word defcends and dwells in clay,
That he may hold converfe with worms,
Drefs'd in fuch feeble feth as they.
Mortals with joy behold his face,
Th' eternal Father's only Son;
How full of truth! how full of grace!
When thro' his eyes the Godhead fhone!
Archangels leave their high abode,
To learn new myft'ries here; and tell
The love of our descending God,
The glories of Immanuel.

In Achor's gloomy vale.

The building ftrong and fair;
Within are paftures fresh and green,
And living streams are there.
3 Enter, my foul, with cheerful hafte,
For Jefas is the door ;
Nor fear the ferpent's wily arts,
Nor fear the lion's roar.

All travelling thro' one beauteous gate
To oné eternal home.
