King of Glory! let thy light
King of Glory, from on high,
Lamb of God, for finners flain,

Let all that breathe hofannahs raise,
Let all the ranfom'd fons of grace
Like to a crane or swallow I

Look forth, my foul beyond the grave
Lo! our Redeemer, he is come
Lo, how mountains reel and shatter
Lo! how the fweet return of light,

Lo, I look with joy and wonder
Lo! our great God on high,

Lo, the glorious incarnation!

Lo! virtue's path is falfely trod,

Lo! what love the great Creator

Lo! what encouragement to all is giv'n,

Lord, at thy throne of grace we meet,

Lord, as my future ftate of blifs

Lord, bow thy heavens to the found
Lord, grant me patience to endure
Lord, how boundless is thy grace
Lord, I am thine, now fave thy own
Lord, in thy fpirit of my mind,.
Lord, if thou fees it good for me
Lord, rife and rend the rocks in twain
Lord, view the wretched ftate I'm in
Love, O how pleasant is thy voice

Man of a woman born, his days are few;
Moft gracious God, my wants fupply,
Moft righteous art thou, O Lord,

Mount, mount my foul, above terreftrial things, 69
Mount my foul, by faith to Jesus ;-

My earliest thoughts this morning, Lord,
My God, thy praise fhall be my fong
My heart it is fixed, and nothing can move
My foul breaks forth with ftrong defire
My foul explore, thus meditate,
My foul, return unto thy reft;

My foul, fearch ev'ry part within,
None Jefus but thee

No peace can wicked men enjoy,
Not unto us, but thee, O Lord,
O fatal hand of death! how foon
O God accept this humble fong,
O God, I view with fweet delight,
O God moft high! God only wife!
O heavenly Dove!

O joyful tidings for mankind!

To thee, the living God, I cry
Tremble and quake, ye wicked race,
Tremendous God! by thy command,
Up to thy throne above

Unchangeable Lord

Unhurt, through dreary paths I tread,
Unto God, who all things made,
Vain mortals! why fo fond of pride?

What tongue can tell the joy divine,

When fhall I hear the trumpet found,

Where virtue in her place refides,
Who is like unto thee, O Lord,
Why, Oh! my foul art thou caft down?

With heart and voice I'll praise thy name,
With joy the faints of the most High
With pity, gracious God, draw near,
