My faith and hope may see the Lord, And faith rejoice in things unseen. The hungry soul, and clothe the poor: In heav'n are found no sons of need, There all these duties are no more. Subdue thy passions, O my soul, And be thy vict❜ries ever new. There are no fields of battle there : Let ev'ry flying hour confess, I gain thy gospel fresh renown; And when my life and labour cease, May I possess the promis'd crown. For SERMON XLI, XLII, XLIII. Death of Mankind, Saints and Sinners, improved. AS death such vast destruction made? HA Here I behold the guilt of sin, That brought this spreading mischief in. And all my life prepare to die. When impious wretches yield their breath But when a saint with chearful air, We could renounce our all things here, For SERMON XLIV. The Doctrine of the Trinity, and the Use of it: Or, Access to the Father through Christ by the Holy Spirit. Common Metre. FA ATHER of glory, to thy name Who didst an act of grace proclaim, Immortal honour to the Son, Who makes thine anger cease; To thy ALMIGHTY SPIRIT be Whose influence brings us near to thee, Let men with their united voice Adore th' eternal God, And spread his honours and their joys Let faith and love, and duty join, And saints in earth and heav'n combine, FINIS. |
