5. With precious faith, a confcience pure,
And humble hope may I be ftor'dd:
Hardness with fortitude endure ",
And never throw them over board f.
6. Paffing my time in holy fear §,
Pursuing things that are before",
My little Bark may mercy fteeri,
Until I reach the happy fhore.
7. The fhores celeftial let me gain,
In fpite of all that can oppofe f:
And 'midst Meffiah's fhining train,
Begin the fong fhall never clofe 8.
8. Though Son, he took a fervant's form h,
His back he bow'd beneath the load i:
And gladly bore the mid-night storm,
That he might bring us near to God k.
9. On him the angry Father frown'd',
The flaming fword he did awake m :
And he lay bleeding on the ground ",
That we might 'fcape the burning lake °.

10. Around his foul in dread array,

Stood all the terrors of the Lord P:
How fill'd his heart with deep dismay,
When he beheld the brandifh'd fword ?!

II. It reach'd his agonizing foul";
How deep the fearful wounds it made!
O'er him the floods of wrath did roll,
The torrents pour'd upon his head

12. He felt unutterable pains:

t

S

In anguish deep was made to roar :
His blood did boil as in his veins ",
And burfted forth from every pore

13. In double darkness he was wrapt,

From him the heav'ns did hide their face w:
No balmy dews upon him dropt,
When hanging in the finner's place *.-

14. Th'empoifon'd arrows pierc'd his heart Y
His holy foul the ferpent ftung,

a

And at him aim'd his ev'ry dart a,
When on the bloody crofs he hung b.

15. As upon Sinai's written ftones,
The ferpent old, did whet his fting ;
And lodg'd it in the very bones
Of Chrift our now exalted king.

16. Into the waters deep he came,

And o'er his foul the tide did rife :
Let ev'ry tongue his love proclaim,
And spread his glory through the skies !

7. Around his head the thunders roar'd,
Yea, all his foul was in a flame h ;

Was ever love like thine, O Lord ?
And who can give it half it's name k?

18. From heights above, to deeps below,
It brought th' eternal Son of God1;
And Jefus lov'd the finners fo"

That he did wash them in his blood"!

19. To him who left his Father's fide.
And who of rich became fo pourp;

Who wept, and groan'd, and bled, and dy'd,
To him be glory evermore.

20. His name let all the ranfom'd praise,
And undiffembled honours pay;

The loudeft anthems let them raise,
While endless ages roll away.

21. With facred feraphs let them join ",

Lift up their voice, and ftretch their wings w;
In fweeteft harmony combine,

To celebrate the King of kings".

22. Let them exalt the Father's name The Son, and the celeftial Dovey;

And to eternity proclaim,

The riches of redeeming love. Ja
