SEVERAL Scripture Songs Taken out of the Old and New-Testament. With some other Spiritual Songs; &c.
Moses's Song, on Exod. 15.
1 I To the Lord, will sing,
Triumph in him also;
The Horses and the Riders he
Into the Sea did throw.
2 Jehovah is my Song,
And my Salvation;
My God, for whom I will prepare
An Habitation:
3 My Father's God was he,
Whose Glory I'll proclaim,
Jehovah is a Man of War,
Jehovah is his Name.
4 Proud Pharoah, and his Host,
Into the Sea are cast,
And his great Captains drowned be,
As through the Sea they past.
5 They down to th' bottom sank,
Ev'n like unto a Stone;
Jehovah thy Right Hand in Pow'r,
Most Glorious is become:
6 Thy Right Hand hath destroy'd
Those that against thee rose;
[Page 2]And in thy Glorious Excellency,
Thou hast o'erthrown thy Foes.
The second▪ Part.
1 Thou didst send forth thy Wrath,
Like stubble them to waste,
Lord, thou didst blow, and the proud Waves,
O'erwhelm'd them with a Blast.
2 The Sea stood up in heaps
For Israel, (on each side)
The Enemy said, I will pursue,
I will the Spoil divide?
3 My Lust I will fulfill,
My Sword draw out will I?
My Hand shall now cut them all off,
And Ruin utterly?
4 Thou with thy Wind didst blow,
And they were covered,
They in the Mighty Waters sunk,
As if they had been Lead.
5 Lord, who is like to Thee,
In Holiness Glor'us,
Fearful in Praise, and also doth
Things that are marvellous.
A Prophetical Part of Moses's Song, Deut. 32.
1 GIve Ear, O Heavens, I will speak,
and let also the Earth,
[Page 3]Hear the good Words of my own Mouth,
which now I shall bring forth,
2 My Doctrin like the Rain shall drop,
my Speech distil shall as
The Dew does on the tender Herbs,
and showers on the Grass.
3 Because that I Jehovahs Name
will publish and make known;
I will ascribe greatness to God,
yea, and to him alone.
4 He is the Rock, and Perfect too
his Ways and Judgments be;
A God of Truth, and without Sin,
both Just and Right is he:
3 Because their Rock unto our
Rock is not to be compar'd;
Yea, though our Enemies themselves,
as Judges should be heard:
5 Vengeance is mine, I will repay,
in time their Feet shall slide,
Their dreadful Day it does draw near,
and Woe shall them betide.
6 Because the Lord his Saints shall judg,
and for them he'll Repent,
When none shut up, or lift he sees,
when all their Powers's spent.
7 Then sing ye Nations with his Saints,
revenge their Blood▪ will he,
And render Vengeance to his Foes,
but kind to his Saints be.
The Song of the Prophet Isaiah. chap. 5.
1 I To my Well-beloved, now,
and of his Vine-yard (will
Sing a sweet Song) which he has set,
upon a fruitful Hill;
2 He Fenced it, and gather'd out
the Stones that did offend,
He Planted it with choicest Vine,
and it he did defend:
3 A Tower in the midst he built,
and made a Wine-Press too,
And lookt that it should bring forth Fruit,
his Glory great to show;
4 But it brought forth Wild Grapes:
Alass! to thee, Jerusalem,
And Judah also I'll appeal,
and to all thinking Men;
5 'Twixt Me and my Vine-yard to Judge;
what further do could I
Unto my Vine-yard? when I loo'kt,
no Fruit could I espy:
6 Instead of Grapes, it did bring forth
Wild Grapes: O then go to,
Unto my Vine-yard, I'll declare
what 'tis that I will do.
7 I'll take away the Hedge thereof,
my Anger shall be shown,
[Page 5]Eat up it shall, and it's strong Wall
shall quite be overthrown;
8 And I will lay it Waste, and it
not Dig, nor Prune again;
But there shall come Bryers and Thorns,
and on it f [...]ll no Rain.
9 For the House of Israel,
and the Men of Judah be
The Pleasant Vine-yard of the Lord;
but when he lookt to see
10 Judgment and true Justice done,
Oppression did espy;
And when he look'd for Righteousness,
behold! a bitter Cry.
Isaiah's Joyful Song. Isa. 12.
1 JEhovah I will give thee Praise,
this is the very Day,
For thou dost sweetly Comfort me,
thine Anger's turn'd away:
2 Behold thou my Salvation art,
I will not be afraid,
Jehovah is my Strength and Song,
my Trust and saving Aid:
3 Therefore with Gladness
I will draw Water out of the Wells
Of Salvation (for they be
thy People Israels.
[Page 6]4 And in that Day shall ye all say,
praise the Lord, on his Name
Not only call, but for his Acts
lift up his glor'us Fame.
5 Sing ye unto the Lord,
for he most excellent things has done;
And this throughout the Earth also,
is now most fully known.
6 Cry out, and shout, and joyful be,
all that in Sion dwell;
For great the Holy One's in Thee,
O happy Israel!
The Song of Zacharias.
1 LEt Israel's great God and King
eternally be Bless'd,
Whose come from Heav'n to visit us,
and see our bonds, releas'd.
2 In Davids House a Saviour's rais'd,
to sit upon his throne;
This ever since the World began,
his Prophets have foreshown.
3 That he would save us from the Pow'r
and Malice of our Foes;
The Mercy to perform to them,
which he of old had chose.
[Page 7]4 He call'd to mind how he engag'd his truth,
by Covenant,
His Solemn Oath to Abraham sworn,
that he his Grace would grant
5 To serve him without fear;
from all our Adversaries freed;
And to continue all our days,
a Holy Life to lead.
6 By the Remission of our Sins,
to make Salvation known,
To all his People every where,
his tender Mercy's shown.
7 The Day-Star from on high is rose,
and those who also sit
In Darkness, he in the right way
of Peace will guide their Feet.
The Song of the Blessed Virgin. Luke. 1.
1 MY Soul does magnify the Lord,
my Spirit does rejoyce
In God, my Saviour, who deserv'st
the Praise of Heart and Voice.
2 For his poor Hand-Maid he regards,
whose Mind was sore deprest;
And all Ages from hence forth
shall call me most truly Blest.
3 He that is great hath Wonders done,
and holy is his Name;
His Mercies hath for ever been
to his Saints, still the same.
4 He with his Strength hath pulled down
the Mighty from their Seat;
And them of Low and Base Degree,
are rais'd to Honour great.
5 He fill'd the Hungry Soul, with Good,
the Rich Empty remain'd;
His Mercy he has call'd to mind,
his People help have gain'd.
9 The Promise to our Fathers made,
in the which he long stood,
Engag'd to Abraham and his Seed,
he hath at last made good.
The Song of Simeon, Luke, 2. 29.
1 NOw let thy Servant, Lord, depart
in Peace, to quiet Rest,
Since I have thy Salvation seen,
and with the same am blest:
2 The Prophecies are now fulfill'd,
thy Promises are true;
And thy Mysterious Love's disclos'd,
in all thy Peoples view.
3 A Light to lighten the Dark Earth,
now this bright Sun appears,
[Page 9]The Gentiles shall enlighten'd be,
sweet Comforts shall them cheer.
4 Well may the long expected Sight,
make Israel's Joy abound;
Before with special Favours Grac'd,
but now with Glory Crown'd.
The Song of the Lamb out of the Revelations
1 ALL ye that serve the Lord,
his Name see that ye Celebrate;
And ye that Fear him sing aloud
his Praise both small and great. Rev. 19. 5.
2 O thou great Ruler of the World,
thy works our Wonder raise,
Thou blessed King of Saints,
how true and Righteous are thy Ways, Rev. 15. 3.
3 Who would not Fear and Praise thy Name,
thou only holy One:
The World will Worship thee, to whom
thy Judgments are made known.
4 Most holy, holy, holy Lord,
Almighty is thy Name,
Which was before all time, and is,
and shall be still the same. ch. 4. 8. 11.
5 All Glory, Pow'r, and Honour,
thou art worthy to receive;
[Page 10]For all things by thy Pow'r were made,
and by thy Pleasure live. cha. 5. 12.
6 To thee, of right, O Lamb of God,
Riches and Pow'r belong;
Wisdom and Honour, Glory, Strength,
and every Praising Song.
7 Thou as our Sacrifice was slain,
and by thy Precious Blood,
From every Tongue and Nation hast
redeem'd us unto God.
8 Blessing and Honour, Glory, Pow'r,
by all in Earth and Heaven,
To him that sits upon the Throne,
and to the Lamb be given.
Part of Hannahs Song, 1 Sam. 2. [as 100th Psalm.]
1 My heart doth in Jehovah joy,
My Horn in Jah is lift on high;
My Mouth's inlarged o'er my Foes,
In thy Salvation joy will I.
2 There▪s none so Holy as the Lord,
No, no, there is none beside thee
Of other Rocks, there is not one;
That to our God compar'd may be.
3 Talk ye no more so Proudly then,
Let not Arrogancy once proceed
Out of your Mouth, for God doth know,
And 'tis by him Actions are weigh'd.
4 The Lord both Poor and Rich does make,
He raiseth up and pulleth down;
Thee Poor he up from Dust does take,
And Beggars from the Dunghil Crown.
5 And sets them on a Princely Throne,
In Glorious Power and Dignity;
The Pillars of the Earth's the Lords,
The World is his, him Glorifies.
6 He keeps the feet of all his Saints,
Preserves them so they shall not fail,
The Vile in darkness shall be still,
For no man shall by strength prevail.
7 The Adversaries of the Lord,
Shall broken be both great and small;
The Lord from Heaven Thunder will,
And in his Wrath destroy them all,
8 The Lord shall Reign most Gloriously,
Unto the ends of all the Earth:
And his Anointed Horn exalt,
Therefore his highest Praise sing forth▪
The Song of the Lamb.

A Song of Praise for the Marvellous Deliverance of our Sovereign King, WILLIAM, with the Church, an [...] whole Kingdom, from the Hellish Plot, Discovered, Feb. 1695/6
1 NO change of▪ Time shall ever shock
Our firm Affections, Lord to Thee;
For thou hast always been a Rock,
A Fortress and▪ Defence to me.
2 Our KING Preserved is, O God,
By thy own hand and mighty Pow'r;
Thou Shield'st him when he is Abroad,
At home to him a lasting Tow'r.
3. The Chariot of the King of kings,
Or Troops of mighty Angels round,
Encompass him with Rapid Wings,
And all his Foes with Shame Confound.
4 Black Thund'ring Clouds most thick conspir'd,
With Threatning Rage our Face to Veil,
But at thy brightness soon retir'd:
Upon our foes falls Fire and Hail.
5 The Lord doth on our Side engage,
From Heaven his Throne Our Cause upheld▪
And snatch'd us from the Furious Rage
Of Threatning Waves that Proudly Swe [...]'d;
6 God his resistless Pow'r employ'd,
Our cruel Foes attempts to break;
Or else they might have soon destroy'd
The best Defence that we could make.
7 And Gods Designs shall still Succeed;
Romes Bloody Sons can't stand the TEST,
He's a Strong Shield to all tha [...] need,
And on his sure Protection rest.
8 Who then deserv'st to be Ador'd,
But God, on whom our Hopes depend,
Or who, except the mighty Lord,
Can with resistless Pow'r defend.
9 O let th' Eternal God be Prais'd,
The Rock, on whose Defence we rest
O'er highest Heav'ns his Name be rais'd,
Who with Salvation us hath bless'd'
[Page 20]10 Therefore to celebrate his Fame,
Our greatfull Voices to Heav'n we'll raise
Let Nations round dread his great Name
And all be Taught to Sing his Praise.
11 God to our King and Nation sends
(Tho' Vile we be) Salvation sweet,
Deliv'rance to his Saints extends,
To Praise his Name therefore tis meet.
12 Hosannahs we to thee do owe,
Let all the Nations Worship thee,
And thee adore, yea thee alone,
The Father of Eternity.
13 Thy Name in Songs we will adore
Protect thy Saints, and Keep them Pure;
To thee lets live for Evermore,
Since from Curst Plots we are secure.
A FEAST OF Fat Things &c. Containing, One Hundred Sacred Hymns, &c.
CENTURY 1.
HYMN 1. The Eternity of the Great GOD.
IN th' Regions of Eternal Light,
thou hast most Holy God;
From everlasting in thy Self,
had thy own bless'd abode:
Before this World by thee was fram'd,
or, Earth's Foundations laid;
Or, the vast Heavens were spread forth
or any Creature made.
3 Thou didst in Glory, Lord, abide;
thy being hadst alone,
In thy own Self, and none beside,
was with the Holy One.
4 The Eternity of thy great Name,
help us, Lord, to Adore:
From everlasting thy dread Fame
shone, and shall Evermore.
5 Thou Happy wast in thy own Self,
and that in th' high'st degree;
To thy essential Glory, Lord,
nothing can added be,
6 Thou need'st not us; What canst the ha [...]
from any Creatures hand?
Yet to ascribe all Praise to Thee,
is thy most just Command.
HYMN 2. The Immensity of GOD,
THe Praise. of the dread Majesty
of the great God above,
With trembling Heart I would sing forth,
O with him fall in Love!
2 But what am I? poor sorry Dust
that I should God admire!
Be silent then, and let's give place
unto the Heavenly Quire!
3 Thousands, and ten Thousands more
of glorious Angels, stand
in Songs at thy Command.
4 Hosannahs they sing unto Thee,
O Lord, continually.
They worship and most perfect be;
but, Ah! what, Lord, am I?
5 A Person of polluted Lips!
how shall I then express
The depth of thy Immensity?
or thy Infiniteness?
6 I from thy Presence cannot go;
what place, alass! is there
To hide from Thee? for I do know,
Lord, thou art every where!
HYMN 3. On the Immensity and Omniscience of GOD.
THy Knowledge, Lord, is infinite,
there's nothing hid from Thee;
Thou seest i'th' Dark as in the Light,
our Thoughts before thee be.
2 From sight of thy All-seeing Eye,
O whither can we go!
In all dark Places thou dost pry,
thine Eyes walk to and fro.
3 Thro' the whole Earth, where can we hide?
O! whither can we fly?
Lord, from thy Presence; for thou art
far off, and also nigh!
[Page 8]4 Shall we to Heaven mount aloft,
lo, Thou art present there?
Or, if we should go down to Hell,
ev'n there thou dost appear?
5 Yea, should we take us morning Wings
and dwell beyond the Sea,
There would thy Hand have hold on us,
and quickly with us be?
6 Nay, if we say, The Darkness shall
shroud us, Lord, from thy Sight,
Alass! the thickest Darkness is
to Thee, like to the Light?
7 Yea, Darkness hideth not from Thee,
but Night doth shine as Day:
Let's Praise Thee then both Day and Night,
and sing to Thee alway!
HYMN 4. The Wisdom of GOD great.
1 WE of thy Wisdom will, O Lord,
not only speak but sing;
For 'tis from hence that all true Good
to us, O Lord, doth spring.
2 Thy Wisdom and most Sovereign Grace
most gloriously do shine;
Let us see it with open Face,
and Praise that Name of thine.
3 In thy own Wisdom let's be Wise;
thy Wisdom let's Adore,
And trust in it, so shall we, Lord,
sing Praise for Evermore.
4 Thy Wisdom is a mighty deep,
which Angels do admire;
Creation-Work demonstrates it,
Redemption rises higher.
5 The wonder of thy Wisdom, Lord,
and sublime Rule likewise,
Tis o'er all Things, and Persons here,
and marv'lous in our Eyes.
6 All Wisdom Saints and Angels have,
from Thee it doth proceed;
And from thy Wisdom we receive
all good things we do need.
7 Of thy amazing Wisdom then
we'll sing continually;
And unto Thee, let Foolish Men
for Wisdom daily cry!
HYMN 5. GOD's piercing Eyes.
1 YE Saints remember God always,
remember he is nigh;
Nay, with us all in every place,
and on us sets his Eye.
2 O Lord, out of thy piercing Sight
there's none of us can go;
and know'st all things we do.
3 'Tis thy most great and glorious Name
we should for ever Fear;

HYMN 9. A Sacred Hymn on GOD's Sovereignty.
1 THou Lord who didst all Creatures make,
hast Power to dispose
Of them, as seemeth good to thee:
some therefore thou didst Chuse
2 Unto Eternal Life and Bliss;
and others didst Pass-by:
Or didst them leave to their Hearts Lusts▪
and vile Iniquity.
3 If thou hadst left all Adams Race
Unto their evil Way,
And not have giv'n one Soul thy Grace▪
O who dur'st Thee gain-say!
4 Or have charg'd thee to be Unjust,
since all deserv'd to Die,
'Tis Infinite Grace that any be
saved Eternally.
5 Thou sendest thy Sweet Gospel Light
to this, and to that Place,
[Page 14]But dost to many Lands deny
the word of thine own Grace:
6 And some that hear it never feel
its Power on their heart;
All is as thou art pleas'd to act,
and sovereign Grace impart.

Since thou hast made the difference,
all Praise belongs to thee.
HYMN 10. GOD's glorious Bounty: Or, Grace shining.
1 THy Love, O Lord, is very great
to such vile Ones as we;
Such who lay Dead in Trespasses,
are quickened by thee:
2 Thy Bounty to these Souls of ours,
who can of it conceive:
And those thou dost Regenerate
this Bounty do receive.
3. 'Tis they who are delivered
from that Forelorn Estate,
They once were in, when they lay Dead;
whose souls, Lord, did thee Hate.
4 'Tis they whose Souls united be
unto thy self, O Lord,
And have Communion too with thee,
thou dost this Grace afford.
Death can't dissolve this blessed Knot,
this union doth remain;
[...]t Death such do to Jesus go,
Death unto them is gain.
Well may such say unto their Souls,
Return unto your rest!
[...]or they at Death to Glory go,
and ly in thy Sweet Breast.
Their they do joyn with Seraphims,
in blessed Harmony,
To Sing and Celebrate thy Praise
unto Eternity.

2 The Waters which are in the Sea,
and Light that's in the Sun,
Are sewer than thy Mercies are▪
to sinners quite undone.
3 Thy Bowels yearn in thee to those
who in their Blood do ly;
If they Believe thou wilt forgive
all their Iniquity:

[Page 16]In the right Way, do it not crave;
nor after it enquire!
5 But you that see the Chanel, where
Mercy doth sweetly run,
Exalt God's Name, and sing his Praise▪
until▪ your Lives are done.

In Christ all Mercies joyn and meet,
and evermore endure.
HYMN 12. The Patience of God.
1 WHat Wrongs, great God, hast thou long born?
(conceiv'd they cannot be!)
By daring Rebels, who provoke
Thee unto Jealousie!
2 All Evils done in every place,
before thine Eyes they are
Throughout the World; And yet dost thou
these Foes protect, and spare.
3 Tho' for Man's Treason down he fell,
by thy revenging Hand;
his Maker to withstand;
[...] And, though a feeble Foe he be,
whom thou like Moths can crush,
[...]et still against the Bosses of
thy Bucklar he does rush.
[...] O what vile Monsters are Mankind!
thus given to Rebel!
Strange thou dost not, Lord, smi [...]e the Earth,
and send them quick to Hell!
6 Man's sin for Vengeance loudly crys,
yet Patience doth abound;
Though Justice crys, Cut these Trees down!
Why Cumber they the Ground?
7 Thy Patience still forbears, we see,
O it is Infinite!
Therefore of it, we, Lord, will sing,
and Praise Thee Day and Night.
HYMN 13. Another on God's Patience.
1 WOuld Man forbear to seek revenge
on such a cursed Foe,
Who stri [...]es to Murther him each Day,
and work his Overthrow?
2 But God waves all advantages
of wrath, and vengeance too;
And, by amazing Patience,
doth daring Man out-do?
3 The Creature doth disdain his God,
by whom he's cloath'd and fed,
Yet God still spares this rebel Worm,
who by the Devil's led
4 To fight against his Sovereign
with cruel spite and rage;
Yet God doth still forbear with him,
even from Age to Age.
5 Fools ask not where th' Almighty is▪
but Glory to him give:
Is not his Being most fully prov'd
in suffering thee to Live?
6 Was he not GOD, he could not bear
such Weights as on him [...]y;
Weak Mortals soon are set on fire,
and for revenge do cry!
7 Why should not Patience make us sing,
and God's great Glory raise?
Lord, let thy Patience joyn with Love
towards me all my Dayes!
HYMN 14. On the Birth of CHRIST.

which makes the Blind to see;
[Page 19]The day Spring from on high came down
to cheer and visit thee.
3 The careful Shepheards with their Flocks

But better News from Heav'n was brought;
your Saviour is now born!

within a place obscure,
Your Saviours come, O sing Gods Praise!

and shall not I?
Christ he is Born! Sinners sing Praise,
For you he came to Die!

All [...]ories which the Father hath,

we must in Prison ly,
And bear thy dreadful Wrath, O God,
unto Eternity.
3 And therefore Jesus thou didst send,
no Friend had we to bring;
All good from hence, we may perceive,
doth from thy Bowels spring,
4 'Twas from the Worth and Dignity
which in Christ's Person lay,
He did God's Justice satisfie,
and all our Debts defray.
5 O let Men dread how they despise
such sovereign Grace and Love,
Because Mysterious in their Eyes,
and also far above
6 Depraved Reason to conceive,
that such who guilty be,
Should, by another's Righteousness,
from Sin and Guilt be free.

And to the Holy-Ghost likewise,
be Praise for Evermore.

The foot-steps of the Flock will show

2 All mixtures, Lord, in Doctrin
and Practice, thou dost hate;
Ourselves, therefore, with wicked Men
let's not associate!
3 And so shall we, Lord, with much joy
our hearts lift up to Thee;
And nothing shall our Peace destroy
whilst circumspect we be,
4 Let such that mingle not themselves
thy Praises therefore sing;
And to thy People let men join
in Faith, to Praise our King.
5 Come out of Babel then all ye,
and be ye seperate;
[Page 42]Depart all Godly ones, and flee

6 O touch not the Polluted thing,
and God will own you then;
And drink you shall o [...] [...] sweet Spring

and set his Glory forth;
There's none like thee, all Saints do see
in Heaven or on Earth.
3 Thy Blood's our balm, who hither came
to Die upon the Tree!
Therefore, O Lord, with one accord
we will sing Praise to thee.
4 Thou hast a Salve for every sore;
didst Dye that we might Live
Therefore to thee continually
all Praises we will give.
HYMN 37. The voice of the Turtle heard in our Land.
1 THy precious Blood was shed, O Lord,
my soul to purge from Sin;
Which purchas'd Grace my soul to change,
when shall this work begin:
2 In sinners hearts, O now impart,
that Grace that they may sing:
O own thy word, most holy Lord,
our God, and gracious King!
3 The harmless Turtle's pleasant voice
is heard, Lord, in this place;
Let Fig-trees put forth their green Figs,
young Converts deck with Grace.
4 Arouse! the Summer will soon pass,
your day of grace will end;
O come to Christ, whilst he doth call,
and does his love commend!
5 See how the Saints do bud in Grace,
what gracious fruits abound,
Upon this liberty for all
to hear the joyful sound:
6 Arise, you who yet sleep in Sin,
make hast to come and live;
So shall you sing and joyful be,
and honour to Christ give.
HYMN 38.—Buy of me.
1 COme buy of thee? Lord let us see
what 'tis that thou dost sell!
The Pearl of Price and Paradice,
O Lord what Tongue can tell
2 What their worth are! what Fool is there
who doth refuse to buy?
A bargain's here! and 'twill appear
so to Eternity.
3 This Pearl excells the rich Beryl,
the Onyx and the Sapphire;
Rubies so rare can't with't compare,
no, nor the gold of Ophir!
4 Begone vile Lusts as things accurst,
let every Soul then say,
This Pearl will I purchase and buy
without further delay?
5 Let's look about, our Glass runs out,
and take such good Advice;
What e'r you see the terms to be,
to come unto the Price.
Sing, Sing, God's Praise, you ought always,
who this rich Pearl have;
What would you be, what more can ye
ask, seek, desire, or crave?
HYMN 39. A Bleeding Christ, and the Bleeding Heart.

Thy [...]rath is o' [...], and thou on us,
in Jesus Christ, doth smile?
2 Sing Praise ye tender-hearted ones,
lift up God's Praise on high;
For you shall live for evermore,
yea, live and never die.
3 Behold a bleeding Christ! O see
his side, how did it run
With purple Gore? Can ye forbear
to grieve, shed tears, and mourn!
4 But did he die, and in our stead,
that we might never die?
O love this Lord, and sing his Praise;
and on him all rely!
5 The fruits of Christ's most blessed Death
in bleeding Hearts appear;
Their sins, they see, have wounded him,
and pierc'd him like a spear.
6 They look to him, therefore they mourn,
and yet by Faith rejoyce;
They cann't but grieve, nor yet forbear
to sing with cheerful Voice.
HYMN 40. Salvation great and Glorious.

O lay on gracious Blows,
To Sinners, and also to Saints,

and them revive also;
Upon the humble sincere Soul
all lasting blessings flow.

In this may Saints rejoyce always,
'tis this doth make them glad;
[...]uch may rejoyce well all their dayes
who are so bravely clad.
4 Your wedding Robes they are, O know,
richly Embroidered;
No Princess was e'er cloathed so,
that King did ever wed.
5 It shines bespangled with Gold;
and such who have it on
The King with joy doth them behold,
and loves to look upon.
6 How may we then continually
in Jesus Christ rejoyce,
And sing to him melodiously,
with Heart and cheerful Voice?

A Crown; they shall have All.

we then shall win the Prize.

HYMN 49. The Saints Holy Triumph.
1 TRemble all you who rest upon
a Form of Godliness;
As also ye that do draw back,
whether 'tis more or less:

you all are in Christ's hand;
There's not a Soul that is Sincere
but firmly it doth stand
3 Upon a Rock, and ne'er shall move,
nor fall away; Besure
Gods own Elect, who do him love,
all trials shall endure.
4 Come Saints, Triumph, in the dear Lamb,
your Lord, that once did Die;
We that Believe in Jesus, have
e'erlasting cause of joy.

thy [...] [...]id ly

But Happy they who fee! it's rays,

prick them, as with a sword;
And Purge out all that Filth within;
so will we praise thy Word.
3 Enlightened Souls have cause to sing,
who Wounded were by thee;
True cause of joy to such doth spring;
for they, Lord, Healed be;
they to the King are brought;
Surpassing Angels; for have they
a Robe so richly Wrought.
5 We therefore throw our Crowns below
thy High and Glorious Throne;
And must all say, both Night and Day,

by us for evermore;
Thus let us Sing unto our King,
and him in Heart adore.
HYMN 51. Boundless Mercy.

1 OF Mercy still, O Lord,
We will together Sing;
And in sweet sacred Songs of Praise
Exalt our glorious King:
2 Let Heart and Tongue rejoyce,
And say, Who's like to Thee?
Among the gods there's none that Thus
Forgives Iniquity.
3 We did not Pardon crave,
When in our Blood we lay;
But t'was free Grace that moved Thee
Our cursed Debts to pay.
[Page 57]4 This Pardon is this Day
To sinners Offered;
Oh! is there none that will come in,
Whilst out thy Hands are spread!
5 You Happy are, O Souls,
Who now forgiven be;
And also over a short time
You will it clearly see:

You ly a little while;
A Day is near that will make all
God's pardon'd Ones to smile.
HYMN 52. A Call to Obedience.
1 THine Ordinances are, O Lord,
like Pipes that run with Wine;
We praise Thee now with one accord,
for each Command of Thine.

but all who do not so,
Thou down to Hell at last will bring,
thy Wrath to undergo.
3 Believe! and shall we saved be?
O Blessed be thy Name!
For works can't not us justifie,
since Sinners we became.
4 Baptized be! Lord, some we fear
do not of that approve;
and truly do Thee Love,
5 Will do whatever Thou dost say;
each Precept, Lord, is right;
And That which some do loathe and hate,
is Lovely in thy Sight.
HYMN 53. Spiritual Joy increasing.
1 REjoyce ye that in Houses dwell,
in Houses made of Clay,
For Bodies of the Saints excell;
and shall another Day:
2 Lord shew unto thy Servants all
thy savour and thy Grace;
And let us all both Great and Small
Behold thy glorious Face.
3 O put great joy into our Hearts,
so will we sing to Thee:
And cause have more than those whose Corn
and Wines increased be:
4 Sing to the Lord in Righteousness,
his face do you behold;
In Christ, God doth you richly Bless
with Blessings manifold.
5 God is your God, you Union have
through Christ, with him again;
Your Bodies and your Souls are his,

But such alone have cause of joy
that have Gods favour found.

He's come to seek, to search and find,
and convey you all Home.
3 He looks about to see if he
can find you in his fold;
Can you forbear for to return,
how can your Love be cold?
4 Ah! he for you did shed his blood,
he for his Sheep did Die!
And will you, Souls, your dearest Lord
again now Crucifie!
5 Besides, the Wolves are got abroad;
O hear your Shepheard's Voice!
O Sing unto your blessed Lord,
and in him all rejoyce:
6 Thou art our Shepheard and our Guide;
our Prophet, Priest and King;
from thee, our joys do Spring.
7 Then Ravish'd with thy Sacred Love,
let us thy Glory raise;
And mount our Souls to Heaven above,
in Songs of lasting Praise;

thy Doctrine let us hear,
That we with thee may all rejoyce,
when thou, Lord, shalt appear.

O may our Brethren be convinc'd,
give them a seeing Eye:

[Page 61]Take heed you do not still dispise
Christ's Holy Baptisme.

It will to us an Evidence be,
we born are from above.

3 O who is like, Lord, unto Thee,
thy Beauty doth exceed;
Thy Glory is so infinite;
in Thee's all things we need:

To be the Bridegroom of our Souls,
our Joy, our God, our Friend.
5 Be thou to us above all things;
Chief of ten Thousand be;
Let those enamouring Lips of thine,
endear our Souls to Thee:

Return for Christ doth call:
2 Lord, thou art Merciful,
Most ready to forgive,
And Pardon all that come to Thee,
And do thy Son receive.
3 O leave your wicked Ways
Before it be too Late;
For those that love, and live in Sin,
God's Soul doth loathe and hate:
[Page 63]4 But like a Cedar Tree,
Which Lebanon forth brings,
The Just shall grow and flourish so
As laden Palm-Tree springs.
5 God's Temple Plants shall thrive,
In his blest Courts each one;
And still produce their fruitful juice,
When they to Age are grown▪

Our Rock is he, most pure and free
From all Unrighteousness.

In Glory evermore.

1 THy Vine-yard, Lord, was purchased,
though wild it once did ly,
And Barren was as any Ground
thou couldst on Earth espy;
2 But thou much cost and pains hast shewn,
that it might fruitful be.
Thy Sun doth shine, and Rain doth fall
on it continually.
3 All Praise therefore to God on High,
how great is thy blest Care
[Page 64]Of thy Own Church, and every Soul
who truly are sincere.

in sacred Hymns set forth;
And sing therefore with one accord,
whilst we do live on Earth,
HYMN 59. The Noble Vine.
1 THere is on Earth a Noble Vine,
set in a Fruitful Place;
The root thereof is all Divine,
and full of Precious Grace▪
The Lord by his right Hand did Plant
this Vine, and Vine-yard too;
And shines upon each Gracious Saint,
and waters it also.
3 Into this Vine-yard we are call'd,
whilst others Idle stand;
Lord help as all to work therein,
and yield to thy Command.
4 Thy care is great of thy own Church,
thou watcheth it each day;

we therefore thee adore,
And in sweet Hymns we'll sing to Thee,
now and for Evermore.
HYMN 60. Redeeming Love.
1 O That we could as Angels do
aloud God's Praises sing,
For Wonders of Redeeming Love,
from whence Soul Peace doth spring.

Stones against such will Cry?
3 Then ye, th' Redeemed of the Lord,
your thankful Voices raise;

which thus hath Set you Free;
Exalt with shouts, all who Believe,

when they in Blood did ly,
[Page 66]For which we praise thy Holy Name,
and will thee magnify.
3 How Good art thou, to us, O Lord
what plenteous Food have we;
Our Paths drop Fatness, therefore well
sing praises u [...]o Thee.
4 Put us, O L [...]d in Remembrance
the Needful thing to do;
That Satan may never prevail,
nor work our Over [...]h [...]w.
HYMN 62. The Honour of Christ's Servants.
1 YE Servants of the Lord of Hosts
who in his Vine-yard be;

2 Sinners break forth, and in amaze,
do you Rejoyce, and say,
There's Hope, that we may Mercy find,
believe, and do not st [...]y.
3 O Lord, thou d [...]t not look that Men
should Worthiness obtain:
Or s [...]me in [...]erent [...]itness [...],
much less [...]e Born [...]
Before that they take [...] on Thee,
but presently Believe;
And on thy Promise lay [...]ast hold,
and Christ strait-way receive.

his Praise do you set forth
And let all People look to him,
to the ends of the Earth.

1 BEhold, and Wonder now,
in a most sacred Song;
O let's Exalt the Name of Christ,

and that in every part;
Eor while he lay ith' Virgins Womb
he lay in her own Heart.
3 That Son the Mother bore,
the Mother did Create;
Both perfect God, and perfect Man,
a Wonder to Relate.
4 Lord Christ, thou art the Priest,
and yet the Sacrifice:
[Page 78]The Altar too art thou likewise,
and Gift that Sanctifies.
5 Thou God-Man, King, and Priest,
Almighty art yet Meek;
Thou art most Just yet Merciful,
the guilty cam'st to seek.
6 Thou never any fail'd,
that sought thee in their need;
Thou never quencht the smoking Flax,
nor broke the bruised Reed.
7 Thy Life a wonder was;
but here's a wonder more,
That thou that didst all Kingdoms make,
shouldst make thy self so Poor.
8 And wonderful it is,

That thou, who art all Life and Love,
yet few, alass! Love Thee.

for us, be poured out;
By thy Atonement, Lord, thou hast
our Pardon brought about:
4 Our Surety for us did Die,
O blessed be thy Name!
Let Saints Praise Thee with one accord,
yea, highest Praise proclaim.
5 Sinners, your Pardon ready is,
O fall at Jesus's feet;
Believe on him, and you shall have
his Pardoning Mercy sweet!

it that's like unto Thee?
Who Pardons all our horrid Sins,
yea, all Iniquity.
HYMN 76. ▪I will put a new Spirit within you: Or, The Unwearied Saint.
1 O Blessed Lord, what hast thou done?
what kind of Spirit's this,
That makes thy Saints with joy to run,
and thy sweet Lips to Kiss?
2 How heavy and how dull are they,
(how dead and carnal too;)
Who in the Old Nature do abide,
they nothing freely do.
3 Thy Saints are fired with thy Love,
they in thy ways rejoyce;
And upwards they to thee do move,
and sing with cheerful Voice.
4 Thy acceptation, Lord, of us,
thy Love and Favour kind,
Is Wages now enough for us;
this Blessing let us find.
5 And we will Praise thy Holy Name,

And of thy Ways ne'er weary be,
until we come to Die.

Sion's in Travail, and ye shall
her blest Deliverance see.
HYMN 78. God Pardons, Guides, and Leads.

For Christ hath Paid all you did Owe,

Take hold of him and you shall sing
sweet Praise for evermore.
3 And let the Saints rejoyce in God,
who cancels all their Score:
Who heals all our Infirmities,
and doth our Souls restore.
4 'Tis he that leads, 'tis he that guides,
and gives us Rest and Peace;
O sing Christ's Praise, you pardon'd Ones,
your joy shall never cease!
HYMN 79. A Call to Young-Men.
1 CHrist's Trumpet sounds yet once again,

[Page 82] Young Men, will you not now arise
and enter's Vine-yard all.

let us all live together
In Unity, so will we sing
thy Praises, now and ever.
HYMN 81. Infinite Mercy shining.
25th Psalm Tune.
1 TIs of thy Mercy, Lord,
Of Goodness and of Love.
That we will sing and magnify,
which shines from thee above.
2 We may, Lord, tell the Stars,
And Sands on the Sea-shore;
As we account thy Mercies can,
In number they are more.
3 In Christ it is alone,
The Fountain's opened,
From whence thy Love and Goodness flows,
And all things we do need:
4 Let sinners then believe,
And know assuredly,
Thou wilt forgive and pardon all,
Their great Iniquity.
5 And let thy Saints rejoyce,
And sing with joy of Heart;
[Page 84]For they shall one Day be with Thee,
And never more Depart.
HYMN 82. The joy of Repenting Tears.
1 THy ways, O Lord, most pleasant be,
and all thy Paths are Peace;
The joys of all that cleave to Thee,
shall never, never, cease.
2 What are all sinful Pleasures here,
which are sinners delight?
Will they not hateful all appear
when sin is in their sight?
3 More joy is there in leaving it,
and in Repenting Tears;
Then they do find who it commit,
who filled are with fears.
4 O Young-Men, Young-Men, will you then
Christ's gracious Call Obey?
Now hear his Voice, I say again,
no longer do delay!
5 All Praise to God, thus let us say

Who says to sinners, Hear and Live:
Believe and do not Die.
HYMN 83. The Saints Holy Triumph in Christ.
1 COme lets Triumph in the dear Lamb,
our Lord, who once did Die;
We that believe in Jesus, shall

2 Come Law of God, what hast thou now
of Saints for to demand?
Thy Curses all did meet in Christ,
who did our Surety stand?
3 Come Justice, where is now thy Charge?
what hast thou now to shew?
We do to thee present the Blood
that from Christ's sides did flow:
O blessed Wisdom infinite,
'tis thou hast done the thing;
Justice and Mercy now are join'd,
by our most blessed King!
5 But woe to such who slight this Grace,
Salvation to neglect;
God's Attributes with angry face
will them at last reject:
6 But Saints shall Hallelujahs sing,
because they are set free;
Their Crowns they throw, Lord, at thy feet,
and will give Praise to Thee.
HYMN 84. Christ a Believers All:
To be Sung at the Lord's-Supper.

Thence look, and thou shalt 'spy,
Clear as the Sun, what must be done,
Presented to thine Eye?
3 Seest thou that Folded Flock,
Whose Heart the Spirit tyes;
Whom Gospel-Order calls into
Distinct Societies?

They do together Feed;
The Shepheard stands with both his Hands
To give them all they Need?

My Word; that is thy Guide;
O follow them that follow Me,
And thy Foot ne'er shall slide!
6 Thither I'll go, and join,
There will I Feast and Feed;
There will I sing my Shepheard's Praise,
Who doth supply my Need!

and that's a Title good;
And Saints are his by Purchase Right,
he Bought them with his Blood.
3 Say then, I'll have no Love but he,
I like my Choice so well;
And for his Spouse he will have Me,
together let us Dwell.
4 He feeds among the Lillies White,
there he doth most frequent;
Amongst his Saints is his delight,
to smell their fragrant Scent.
5 Their Graces are his sweet Repast,
their Prayers and Praises are
A Banquet to him, and their Faith,

a garden of delight;
To thee Lord, and with one accord,
we'll Praise thee Day and Night.
HYMN 87. A Hymn of Praise for the New-birth.
1 YOu that are born again rejoyce,

With one accord lift up your Voice,
who experience the new Birth:
2 And you that are not yet renew'd,
have cause to sing also;
Because God doth afford the means,
through which this Grace doth flow.
3 But none sweet Music truly make,
in God's most holy Ear,
But such who do thy Grace partake,
and truly changed are.
4 O Tremble then, and take good Heed,
rejoyce with holy Dread;
Lord whilst we live let's sing thy Praise,

HYMN 66. Saints happy at Death.
Sung at the Funeral of Mr. JOHN LOYNS, June the 26th. 1692. Who (to the great▪ Grief of his Godly Friends) was accidentally Drowned in the River of Thames.
1 THe Length of all our Life and Age,
O Lord, is in thy hand;
And we must go when thou dost call,
and yield to thy Command.
2 Our days are few, and pass away,
like as a shadow flys;
Let's ready be, O Lord we pray,
and shun all Vanities.
3 When we go out of our own Doors,
none knows what may befall,
Or come on us, e'er we return;
Life's uncertain to all.
4 O call to Mind, remember then,
our Time consumeth fast;
Why hast thou made the Sons of Men,
as things in vain to waste?
5 What Man is he that Liveth here,
and Death shall never see?
Or, from the hand of the dark Grave,
can, Lord, deliver'd be?
6 But blest are they, who die in Christ,
their Death to them is Gain;
Their Souls do go to Paradice;
the Wicked go to Pain.
7 Praised be God for Jesus Christ,
who gives such Victory
Unto thy Saints, o'er Sin and Death;
sing Praise continually.
8 The Godly ly in a sweet Sleep,
they sleep in Jesus do;
And no more Pain, nor Sorrow shall
for ever undergo.
HYMN 90. Saints the Salt of the Earth.
1 IF Saints, O Lord, do Season all
amongst whom they do Live,
[...] [...]Salt all with Grace, both Great and Small
they may Sweet Relish give;
2 And blessed be thy glorious Name,
in England Salt is found;
Some Savoury Souls who do Proclaim
thy Grace, which doth abound.
3 But O the want of Salt, O Lord,
how few are Salted well;
How few are like to Salt indeed,
Salt thou thy Israel!
4 Now sing ye Saints who are this Salt,
and let all Season'd be
With your most Holy Gracious Lives;
great need of it we see.
5 The Earth will else Corrupt and Stink
O Salt it well therefore,
And Live to him that Salted you,
and sing for evermore.
HYMN 91. He is altogether Lovely.
25th Psalm Tune.
1 THe gracious Words that drop
From Christ's sweet Mouth so free,
Are sweeter than the sweetest Myrrh,
To all that do Love Thee.
2 In short, This is the Man,
He's altogether Love;
[Page 93] [...]a, altogether Lovely's he
To whom my Soul doth move!
3 You Daughters this is he,
This my Beloved is?
No Tongue can tell, no Language can
Express that Love of his!
4 The Drops that fill the Seas,
Go, count them every one?
Then join the number, if you please,
Of Stars till there is none?
5 To these, the Sands, the Hairs,
And all things else in sight;
Hyperbolize Immensity,
And run to Infinite?
6 This my Beloved is,
He is the total sum
Of all Perfections, and the Bliss
Of all that to him come.
7 Then sing his Praise, and say,
Thou dost excell all Men;
Thou fairer art than ten Thousand;
Hallelujah. Amen.
HYMN 92. The Rose of Sharon.
SHaron the Garden of the World,
the Pride of Palestine;
Whose Natural soyl more Glory bore
than Solomon could resign;
as I will be to Thee.
So fair a Lilly never grew,
Sharon must stoop to Me.
3 O Blessed Jesus, dost thou say,
who'll have a Rose so sweet!
Who will refuse our Sharons Rose,
that knows its fragrant scent?
4 Upon the Cross thou was Distill'd,
we taste in Distillation,
The sweetness of the absent Rose,
by Faith and Acceptation.
5 Thou art a Rose, my Soul's repose,
O let me never be,
My Dearest Lord, a Thorn to thee,
who art so sweet to me.
6 Thou art the Lilly of the Vale,
a matchless Purity.
And I will sing thy Praise since thou dost
in my Bosom ly.
HYMN 93. Cant. 5. 12.—His Eyes are like the Eyes of Doves.
1 I'Ll tell you farther, that if such
A Person you shall see,
Whose Eyes like Doves are wash't with Milk
and Water this is he?
through Adamantine Ears;
And wound a Rock but with a look,
and melt it into Tears.
3 Eyes that are clear and fitly set,
that can see all things past,
And all things present and to come,
as long as Time shall last:
4 Whose Eyes are Pure, Holy and Chast,
never defil'd with Sin;
That never was in the least Promp't
to take foul Objects in.
5 If such a One you meet,
whose Eyes like Flames, and Lamps of Fire
Strikes Dead, and yet gives Life thereby,
tis he that I desire?
6 This is the Man I seek, and praise,
All-seeing, and All-Eye:
Tell him, if such a one you meet, 'tis for his Love, I Die!

O let this Isle of the great Sea,
his Glory great fet forth.
3 Let th' Wilderness and Desert place,

And all that hear of thy great Acts,

4 Lord, we thy Glory will declare,
and Praise Thee in this Land,
For still to us thou art a Friend,
and up for us doth stand.
5 Blessed are they who so do Hear,
that for the time to come
They are prepar'd, and ready be,
before their dismal Doom:
6 God quickly will awake and rise,
ye Saints rejoyce therefore;
Great Babel and all Enemies,
shall e'er long be no more.
7 In vain are all their Hellish Plots,
thy Name, O Lord, we Praise;
Our King yet Lives; we Saved are,
let's Praise Thee all our Days.
HYMN 95. Beautiful on the Mountains: Or, A Ransome found.
1 HOw beautiful upon the Mount,
are they that Peace proclaim,
That unto Rebels offer Grace,
in their great Masters Name.
2 That unto Captives do declare
glad Tidings; and to tell
To Sinners, there's a Ransom found▪
to save their Souls from Hell.
Mr. D.
3 Who say to Saints, who interest have
in Thee, their dearest Lord,
Thou wilt them all for ever Save,
such Grace thou dost afford:
4 Mount Sinai's fiery Law can't break
a Heart that's like a stone;
The Creature's Arrows at the Walls of Brass,
in vain are thrown.
5 'Tis only Pardon that doth melt,
and Love doth sinners draw:
We therefore, Lord, will sing thy Praise;
grace do's exceed the Law.
6 Those who are, Lord, united to thy self,
in Faith and Love,
May sing thy Praise on Earth,
for they shall also sing above.

dost love Lord Christ to feed,
O let my Soul a Lilly be,

4 Until the Glorious Morn shall break,
and shadows flee away,
O let the Glorious Lord be mine,
and I ne'er from him stray!

begun upon my Heart;
Make up thy Jewels; unto me,

And I will sing thy Praises forth,
whilst in thy Paths I go.
