Project Note
This is licensed under Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND. This license allows reusers to copy and distribute the material in any medium or format in unadapted form only, for noncommercial purposes only, and only so long as attribution is given to the creator.
The source of this document is the Early English Books Online (EEBO-TCP) website. Those books were transcribed in a character for character manner and can be very cumbersome to read since there was no standard spelling during that time. Many spelling variations such as "unlesse", "vnlesse", and "vnles" regularly appear.
This project was conceived to clean up those books as much as possible and make them more accessible to the interested reader, leading to the creation of a massive list of variant spellings and their corrections. This was used to clean up the text, but is of course only as complete as the list itself. Because of the nature of the original transcription, some words have missing characters or places where the original language (e.g., Greek) was not transcribed. This effort does not change that. Be aware that the original transcription can also be faulty and in some cases entire sentences may be missing.
Although this is no substitute for a properly compared, proofed, and scholarly edition, I believe that the result is a document which is far more accessible, particularly for searching for terms using standard spelling. The document has been cleaned and presented in what I hope is a pleasing and useful format for the vast majority of Christian brothers and sisters who just want access to read these spiritually nourishing works.
However, a word of warning: The Puritans were a very diverse group of people and their age was characterized with godliness, but also much upheaval, disputation and strife. They disagreed on many doctrines and some of these works contain less orthodox or Scriptural views than others. The reader is strongly advised to read with discernment, particularly if it is unknown whether author is trustworthy.
This project took a huge amount of time and skill to bring to fruition. I would particularly like to thank David Jonescue for the initial list of Puritans he found on EEBO and the concept behind this project as well as the continuous, unceasing efforts toward seeing this complete. Without his labor, this would not be available. Alex Sarrouf was invaluable in providing the initial list of over 7,000 spelling variations he had identified and corrected, as well as continuing to review more than 16,000 additions to that list for any typos.

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 will proclaim,
Jehovah
is a
Man of War,
Jehovah
is his Name.
4
Proud
Pharaoh,
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,
Even like unto a Stone;
Jehovah
thy Right Hand in Power,
Most Glorious is become:
6
Thy Right Hand hath destroyed
Those that against thee rose;
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 marvelous.
A Prophetical Part of Moses 's Song, Deut. 32.
1
GIve Ear, O Heavens, I will speak,
and let also the Earth,
Hear the good Words of my own Mouth,
which now I shall bring forth,
2
My Doctrine 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
Jehovah's
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 compared;
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 judge,
and for them he will 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 gathered 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 looked that it should bring forth Fruit,
his Glory great to show;
4
But it brought forth Wild Grapes: Alas!
to thee,
Jerusalem,
And
Judah
also I will 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 will declare
what 'tis that I will do.
7
I will take away the Hedge thereof,
my Anger shall be shown,
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 Briars and Thorns,
and on it fall no Rain.
9
For the House of
Israel,
and
the Men of
Judah
be
The pleasant Vine-yard of the Lord;
but when he looked to see
10
Judgment and true Justice done,
Oppression did espy;
And when he looked 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 turned 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
Israel's.
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 Zion dwell;
For great the Holy One's in Thee,
O happy
Israel
!
The Song of Zacharias.

LEt
Israel's
great God and King
eternally be Bless'd,
Whose come from Heaven to visit us,
and see our bonds, released.

In
David's
House a
Savior's
raised,
to sit upon his throne;
This ever since the World began,
his
Prophets
have foreshown.
3
That he would save us from the Power
and Malice of our
Foes
;
The Mercy to perform to them,
which he of old had chose.
4
He called to mind how he engaged
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 everywhere,
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 rejoice
In God, my Savior, who deserve'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 forever 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 raised to Honor great.
5
He filled the Hungry Soul, with Good,
the Rich Empty remained;
His Mercy he has called to mind,
his People help have gained.
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 fulfilled,
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,
The
Gentiles
shall enlightened be,
sweet Comforts shall them cheer.
4
Well may the long expected Sight,
make
Israel
's Joy abound;
Before with special Favors Grac'd,
but now with Glory Crown'd.

Riches and Power belong;
Wisdom and Honor, Glory, Strength,
and every Praising Song.

Thou as our
Sacrifice
was slain,
and by thy Precious Blood,
From every Tongue and Nation hast
redeemed us unto God.
8
Blessing and Honor, Glory, Power,
by all in Earth and Heaven,
To him that sits upon the Throne,
and to the Lamb be given.
Part of Hannah's Song, 1 Sam. 2. [as 100th Psalm. ]

My heart doth in
Jehovah
joy,
My
Horn
in
Jah
is lift on high;
My
Mouth
's enlarged over my
Foes,
In thy Salvation joy will I.

Holy

Of other
Rocks,

Let not Arrogancy once proceed
Out of your Mouth, for God doth know,
And 'tis by him Actions are weighed.

Dust
does take,
And
Beggars
from the
Dunghil Crown.

Princely Throne,
In Glorious Power and Dignity;

Earth

Preserves them so they shall not fail,
The Vile in darkness shall be still,
For no man shall by
strength
prevail.

Adversaries
of the Lord,
Shall broken be both great and small;
The Lord from Heaven
Thunder
will,
And in his
Wrath
destroy them all,

Gloriously,
Unto the ends of all the
Earth
:
And his
Anointed Horn
exalt,
Therefore his highest Praise sing forth.

A Song of Praise for the Marvelous Deliverance of our Sovereign King, WILLIAM, with the Church, and 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
Defense
to me.
2
Our KING Preserved is, O God,
By thy own hand and mighty Power;
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 conspired,
With
Threatning Rage
our
Face to Veil,
But at thy brightness soon
retired
:
Upon our foes falls
Fire
and
Hail.
5
The Lord doth on our
Side
engage,
From Heaven his Throne
Our Cause
upheld,
And snatched us from the
Furious Rage
Of
Threatning Waves
that
Proudly Swell'd
;
6
God his resistless
Power
employed,
Our cruel
Foes
attempts to break;
Or else they might have soon destroyed
The best Defense that we could make.
7
And God's Designs shall still Succeed;
Rome's Bloody Sons cannot stand the TEST,
He's a Strong Shield to all that need,
And on his sure Protection rest.
8
Who then deserve'st to be Ador'd,
But God, on whom our Hopes depend,
Or who, except the mighty Lord,
Can with resistless Power defend.
9
O let th' Eternal God be Prais'd,
The Rock, on whose Defense we rest
O'er highest Heavens his Name be raised,
Who with Salvation us hath blessed'
10
Therefore to celebrate his Fame,
Our greatfull Voices to Heaven 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.

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 blessed abode:
Before this World by thee was framed,
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 needest not us; What canst thou have
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
Choir
!
3
Thousands, and ten Thousands
more
of glorious
Angels,
stand
'Round thy high
Throne,
and Thee
adore
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, alas! is there
To hide from Thee? for I do know,
Lord, thou art everywhere!
HYMN 3.
On the Immensity and Omniscience of GOD.
THy
Knowledge,
Lord, is
infinite,
there's nothing hid from Thee;
Thou seest in the'
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!
4
Shall we to
Heaven mount
aloft,
lo, Thou art present there?
Or, if we should go down to
Hell,
even 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,
Alas! 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 always!
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,
It is over 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;
Thou seest in
Darkness
as in
Light,
and knowest
all things
we do.
3
'It is thy most great and glorious Name
we should forever
Fear
;
And unto thee loud Praise
proclaim,
when to thee we draw near.
4
Always let us, O Lord, we pray,
set Thee before our
eyes,
And never
grieve thy Spirit,
Lord,
by our
Iniquities.
5
Let's have a
reverent awe
of Thee,
and always Thee
adore
And
worship
in
Sincerity
;
so sing for Evermore.
HYMN 6.

Lord, what thy
Power
is,
thou
Glorious
art in
Might
;
Can ought be hard for Thee to do,

Power's Infinite.
2
Thine
Arm
of
Strength,
most
mighty King,
both
Rocks
and
Hearts
doth
break
;
O God thou canst do everything
which thou dost undertake.
3
O'er
Men
and
Angels
thou dost
Reign,
all things thou dost uphold;
Thou art the
strength
of all thy
Saints,
thy
Power
's manifold.
4
Thou power hast for to
Create,
redeeming Power
's in Thee;
Thou soon canst too
annihilate
all things which we de see.
5
None can before thy
Power
stand,
nor thy dread
Strength
resist;
Thy
Pleasure

yea, all things thou dost list.

HYMN 7.
GOD's Mercy shining: Or, The Chanel of Divine Mercy over-flowing.
1
WE of thy
Mercy,
Lord, will sing,
O it is
Infinite
!
Of all our Joys it is the
spring,
let's Praise thee Day and Night:
2
Our
Miseries
will have an end,
but thy
Mercies
abide
From
Age
to
Age,
it does extend
like to a
swelling Tide,
3
That
flows
over all
Banks
and
Bounds
amazing to
behold
;
O'er all the World thy
Mercy sounds,
O it is
manifold
!
4
But thy
redeeming Mercy,
Lord,
we chiefly do
admire
;
Christ
is the
Chanel
where it
runs,
to raise the Wonder higher!
5
O
Mercy
then!
Mercy
we need,
thy
pardoning Mercy
's sweet!
Preventing Mercy
does, in Christ,
with every
Mercy
meet.
6
Sinners

Mercy
then!
let
Saints Mercy adore
:
And for thy
Mercy
let all Men
sing Praise for Evermore.
HYMN 8.

O Lord we will
exalt
thy
Name,

We with our mouths will, Lord, make known
thy Faithfulness
always,
O help us for to trust in it,
and that too all our Days!
3
Thy
Covenant
thou wilt
hold fast.
as thou hast Sworn of Old

Thy
Promises
from
first
to
last,
fulfilled shall we behold.
4
The
Heavens
they shall Praise the Lord,
for
Wonders
thou hast done;
And all thy
Saints,
with one accord,
shall Praise thy Name alone.
5
Thy
Loving Kindness
shall not fail;
nor shall thy
Faithfulness
:
O sing unto the Lord, ye
Saints,
and him forever Bless.
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
Choose
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 given one Soul thy Grace,
O who dur'st Thee
gain-say
!
4
Or have charged thee to be
Unjust,
since all deserved to
Die,
'It is
Infinite Grace
that any be
saved Eternally.
5
Thou sendest thy
Sweet Gospel Light
to this, and to that
Place,
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 pleased to act,
and
sovereign Grace
impart.
7
We therefore Lord
exalt
thy
Name,
that with our
eyes
do see,
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
'It is they who are delivered
from that
Forelorn Estate,
They once were in, when they
lay Dead
;
whose souls, Lord, did thee
Hate.
4
'It is they whose
Souls united be
unto thyself, O Lord,
And have
Communion
too with thee,
thou dost this Grace afford.
5
Death cannot dissolve this
blessed Knot,
this union doth remain;
At
Death
such do to
Jesus go,
Death unto them is gain.
6
Well may such say unto their Souls,
Return unto your rest!
For they at
Death
to Glory go,
and lie in thy
Sweet Breast.
7
Their they
do join
with
Seraphims,
in blessed Harmony,
To
Sing
and
Celebrate
thy
Praise
unto
Eternity.
HYMN II.
Abounding Mercy of God in Christ.
1
IS there no
Mercy
in the
Lord
?
sinners
! can you say so?
Of
Mercy
sing with one accord,
Mercy
doth
overflow
!
2
The
Waters
which are in the
Sea,
and
Light
that's in the
Sun,
Are fewer than thy
Mercies
are,
to
sinners
quite undone.
3
Thy
Bowels yearn
in thee to those
who in their
Blood
do lie;
If they
Believe
thou wilt
forgive
all their
Iniquity
:
4
But some will not thy
Mercy
have,
they it do not desire;
In the
right Way,
do it not crave;
nor after it inquire!
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.
6
At
Death
and in the
Judgment-day,
God's
mercy
you shall find,
If you do leave your
evil Ways
and have a
changed Mind.
7
Redeeming Mercy
that is
sweet,
and
Pardoning Mercy sure
;
In
Christ
all
Mercies
join and meet,
and evermore
endure.
HYMN 12.
The Patience of God.
1
WHat
Wrongs, great God, hast thou long born?
(conceived they cannot be!)
By
daring Rebels,
who provoke
Thee unto
Jealousy
!
2
All
Evils
done in every place,
before thine
Eyes
they are
Throughout the World; And yet dostthou
these
Foes protect,
and
spare.
3
Tho' for Man's
Treason
down he
fell,
by thy
revenging Hand
;
Yet he lifts up his
bruised Bones
his
Maker
to
withstand
;
4
And, though a
feeble Foe
he be,
whom thou like
Moths
can
crush,
Yet still against the
Bosses
of
thy
Bucklar
he does
rush.
5
O what
vile Monsters
are
Mankind
!
thus given to
Rebel
!
Strange
thou
dost not, Lord, smite
the Earth,
and send them
quick
to
Hell
!
6
Man's sin
for
Vengeance
loudly
cries,
yet
Patience
doth abound;
Though
Justice
cries,
Cut these Trees down!
Why Cumber they the Ground?
7
Thy
Patience
still sorbears, 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 strives to
Murder
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
clothed
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 proved
in suffering
thee to Live
?
6
Was he not GOD, he could not
bear
such
Weights
as on him
lie
;
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
join with
Love
towards me all my Days!
HYMN 14.
On the Birth of CHRIST.
1
AWake my Soul, awake my Tongue,
my Glory 'wake and sing,
And celebrate the holy Birth,
the Birth of
Israel's
King!
2
O happy Night that brought forth Light,
which makes the Blind to see;
The day Spring from on high came down
to cheer and visit thee.
3
The careful Shepherds with their Flocks
were
watching
for the
Morn,
But better
News
from Heaven was brought;
your Savior is now born!
4
In
Bethlehem
the
Infant
lies,
within a place obscure,
Your Savior's come, O sing God's Praise!
O sing his Praise for ev'r.
The Second Part, 25 th Psalm Tune.
1
Heaven
is come down to
Earth
Hither the
Angels
fly,
Hark how the
Heavenly Choir
doth sing,
Glory to God on high!
2
Blest News indeed, be glad;
Simeon
O'ercome with joy,
Sings with the
Infant
in his
Arms,
;
Now let thy Servant die!
3
Wise-men
behold the
Star,
Which was their
steadfast Guide,
Until it pointed forth the
Babe
:
Let God be Glorify'd!
4
Heaven
and
Earth
rejoice
O Lord! and shall not
I
?
Christ
he is
Born
!
Sinners
sing Praise,
For
you
he came to
Die
!
HYMN 15.
A Sacred Hymn of the Deity of CHRIST.
1
IN
Thee, Lord Christ,
we may
Thy
Father
's Glory see;
Thou
his
brightness
and
glory
art,
The
God-head
dwells in
thee.
2
Thou
art a
Man,
yet
God,
In
thee
both
Natures
meet,
That
God
and
Man thou
mightest
Unite
In
Union
great and sweet.
3
Thou
must be
Man
to
Die
:
Sing Praise, ye
Saints,
sing Praise!
Christ
must be
God
to
Satisfie
;
His Glory therefore raise!
4
Such that behold
Thee,
Lord,
The
Father
also see;
And such a
Mediator
't did
Behove
thee
for to be.
5
Thou lay'st thy
Hands
on both,
And dost to each display
Most equally thy dearest
Love
;
And therefore we must say,
6
There's none,
Lord,
like to
Thee
For in
thy Self
does
shine
All Glories which the
Father
hath,
most
Sacred
and
Divine.
HYMN 16.
On CHRIST's Suretyship.
1
LOrd we've
run out,
and
wasted all
our
Riches
and our
Store
;
And now our
Credit
is quite gone
thou wilt
trust
us no more:
Unless there is a
Surety
found
we must in
Prison
lie,
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
satisfy,
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.
7
All praise and glory unto
God,
and to the
Son
whom we Adore;
And to the
Holy-Ghost
likewise,
be Praise for Evermore.
HYMN 17.
A Hymn of Christ's divine Love, on Cant. 1.
1
COme near, come nearer
yet and
move
thy sweetest Lips to
mine
?
For why, thy
Love,
who art all
Love,
excels the
choicest Wine
!
2
Like to an
Ointment Poured out,
is thy sweet
Name,
and
Favor
;
Wise Virgins
compass thee about,
for thy good
Ointments Savour.
3
O Draw me
with thy
Cords of Love
!
we will
run
after thee
;
The King into his
Chambers
hath
in
Love
Conducted
me.
4
Thy
rays
will make our
faces Shine,
;
in
thee
we will
rejoice
;
Thy Love is
better
far than
W ine
;
thou art the
upright's Choice
!
5
But O
thou, whom my Soul doth Love!
Tell me,
O tell me soon,
Where
feeds
thy
Flock
; where
is the place
thou makest them rest at
Noon
?
6
Why should I
stray
and lose my
way
?
till I at last do
fall
Among thy
fellows Flocks
(as they
themselves do proudly
Call.
)
7
O
fairest One
; if thou wouldst know
where thou shouldst
feed
and
lie,
The
foot-steps
of the
Flock will show
the
way
asuredly?
HYMN 18.
The Churches Spikenard, Cantic. the 1 st. Sung at the Lord's-Supper.
1
OUr
King
doth at his
Table
sit,
and
I
that
Love
him well,
Will pour my
Spikenard
on his
feet,
which gives a
fragrant Smell.
2
My
well-Beloved
is to me
a
bundle
of
sweet Myrrh,
And with me he will make his
abode,
and from me never
stir.
3
My
well-Beloved
is to me,
like to the
choicest Wines
;
Like
Clusters
of the
Camphire Trees,
amongst the
fruitful Vines.
4
O blessed Jesus thou art
fair,
my
beauty
is from
thee
!
Nay, thou art
fair
beyond
compare,
and
precious
unto
me
!
5
Let others on their
Dainties feed,
and
drink
the
richest Wine
;
My feasts
doth all
their feasts
exceed,
when thou sayest
I am thine.
6
I therefore will
commend
him still,
and sing unto his Praise,
He Dy'd for me, therefore shall be
my Joy and Song always.
HYMN 19.
He's White & Reddy, sung at the Sacrament.
1
MY Hearts
Delight
is
Red
and
white,
the
Lily
and the
Rose:
So
sweet a Grace adorns his Face
ten Thousand
he out-does
!
2
Was
he all White
and was not
Red?
no
Sufferer
for my
Sin?
My
Blood
would
rest
on my own
Head
and no
Joy
have
within!
3
But my
dear
Lord is
Wite
and
Red,
this
mixture
pleaseth
me
;
Cause for my
Sins
he
Suffered
who from all Sin was
free
!
4
What a
reviving Sight
is this?
a righteous Savior'
s Blood
Is th'
bath
of
Sin,
the
spring of Bliss
most
Pure,
most
sweet
and good!
5
His
God-head,
and his
Government
are infinite and
Pure
;
His
Eyes
are like the
Eyes
of
Doves,
most
constant,
so
endure.
6
His
Mouth
is most
exceeding sweet,
he's altogether so;
Down from his
Head
unto his
Feet
all
joys
and
comforts
flow:
7
O Sing his Praise for this is
he
my soul doth so admire;
This is my
Friend,
if you would know,
this is my
hearts desire
!
HYMN 20.
Deliverance from the Pit: Or, A Hymn of Thanksgiving for Gospel Salvation.
1
HOw great is this Salvation, Lord,
Which thou for us hast wrought,
By Jesus Christ our dearest Friend,
Who our poor Souls hath bought.
2
Thou didst behold us when we lay
polluted in our Sin;
And to wash us found out a way
to make us clean agin.
3
We Slaves of
Sin
and
Satan
were,
and in strong
bonds
were bound;
And when we were near to the
Pit
a
Ransom
then was found:
4
Thy
Son
out of Thy
Bosom
came,
our Souls to set quite
free
:
All Praise unto the blessed Lamb,
and equal Praise to Thee.
5
Of this
Salvation
we will Sing,
and will with one Accord
Praise Thee, from whom all Blessings spring;
ye
Saints
praise ye the Lord.
6
Thou Sav'st our Souls, O save this Land,
great things, Lord, Thou wilt do;
O haste, O Lord, quickly appear,
salvation-
wonders show.
7
Our
Dust
shall
wake,
our
Souls unite,
and then our Glory shine;
Our Happiness shall be complete;
Hallelujah;
Amen.
HYMN 21.
Christ at the Sinners Door: Or, A Song of Praise on Gospel Salvation.

WE, Lord, of thy Salvation have
a Declaration had:
O Sinners know Christ can you
save
;

2
Salvation is brought very near,
your Savior also stands
Now, now, O Soul, even at thy door,
O yield to his Commands!
3
Open to him, before his Wrath
is kindled in his Heart,
And he from you, with angry Frowns,
forever doth depart.
4
If it a little kindled be,
O happy, happy he,
Thou holy One, who doth believe,
and puts his trust in Thee
5
Ye Saints Rejoice, ye interest have
in this
Salvation
;
What is it you can further crave?
sing Praise to th' Holy One:

Blessings of life do over-flow;

And quickn'd are, (and

GODs Glory displayed: Or, A Hymn of Praise on the great Salvation.
1
WHat was thy End, O holy God,
in our
salvation
;
But thy own Glory? therefore we
will praise thee everyone:
2
Shall Man assume some part of it?
let him ashamed be;
All is of God, all is of Grace,
all glory be to Thee.
3
Thou art the
sacrificer,
Lord;
the
sacrifice
also;
'It is thou that dost sprinkle the
Blood,
and all things else dost do.
4
Lift up ye Saints, (exalt on high)
your great Redeemer, then
He shall have the preeminence;
ye Saints say all,
Amen.
5
Sinners,
will you praise Christ's great Name,
to whom all praise belongs,
And celebrate his glorious Fame
with joy in holy Songs?
6
Of
this Salvation
then take hold,
and of it get a part;
Then shall ye sing, and not till then,
with Grace in your own Heart.

1
ALL the seraphick Train above
are stooping down so low,
To learn o'th'
Church
that
Mystery
past Ages did not know:
2
But now the
Vail is Rent in twain,
the
Mystery

Vnfol'd,
Justice and Mercy, reconciled

3
We now in
Gospel days
may go
into th' Holy Place,
And in a

God's
reconciled
Face.
4
Ye
Sinners

that for your
sins
was slain;
And this
Salvation
slight no more,
O look, view him again!
5
How can ye see him
bleed,
and still
retain your
cursed sin
?
How can ye see him
call
to you
and you will not
come in
?
6
O dearest Jesus, if a taste
of Love be here so sweet,
What will it be when we with Thee,
our dearest Lord, shall meet?

O let us sing to him always,
and him in Truth Adore,
For the day's near when we shall be
with him for evermore.

By thee alone, O holy One,
from Sin we have release!
2
O
wondrous Love,
yea,
Love
indeed,
that Thou so great and high,
Who didst proceed from God, should
bleed,
and for poor
Sinners die.
3
The
Curse
which was, O Lord, our due
thou also didst endure;
And in th'
Grave lay till the Third Day
our
freedom
to procure.
4
O depth, O length, O height of Love,
none may compare with Thee,
So
low
to
lie
that we so
high
at last might raised be!
5
Shall
Sinners
slight thy Love, O Lord,
salvation
not regard?
No sin like this so great it is,
was ever known or heard.
6
Ye
Saints
love you your
Savior
dear,
sing forth his blessed Praise;
O love him, and to him adhere,
and serve him all your days.

before our heavenly King,
Tribute of Praise let us always
unto our Savior bring.
3
Before the wicked World and Hell

Lord manifest thy glorious Name

4
Let sinners not
neglect,
O Lord,
salvation

For all that do thou wilt o'erthrow,
to
hell
they shall be brought.
5
O sinners

and fall in love
with Jesus, him embrace;
With wonder now his Glory view

For which, O Lord, we do thee praise
and sing unto thy Name.
2
Come Saints and Sinners also taste
this
Water, Milk,
and
Wine,
Wine
without
dregs
that off the
Lees
our Savior did refine.
3
Here's Pardon without Wrath at all,
white Garments without stain;
A Conscience purged we may have here,
and Ease that's free from Pain.
4
We may have all if we receive
the blessed Lord of Life;
But such who do reject this Grace
shall one Day meet with strife.
5
Wrath will pursue such wretched Souls,
and they escape shall not;
But bring upon themselves sad
Woe,
yea, an Eternal
blot.
6
Stand not then to dispute and Die,
free offered Grace receive;
Then good and thankful you shall be
when once you do Believe.
7
And you will say,
Salvation's
great,
and the great Lord adore;
And sing unto his holy Name
praises for evermore.
HYMN 28.

'It is he that did
salvation
work,
O sing unto his Name!
3
To him that washed us in his
blood,
who loved poor
sinners
first;
To him that was made
Sin for us,
and was
for us accurst
;
4
To him be Glory and high Praise,
O worship at his Feet!
In him God's Attributes do shine;
in Union also meet.
5
Who would not honor and admire,
who would not Thee adore;
Who would not this
Savior
desire,
and prostrate fall before?
6
Come let us
Hallelujah
sing
unto this mighty One;
Let sinners bow unto this King
who sits upon the Throne!
HYMN 29.

Lord thou to us
Salvation

Yea, that you are
God's own Elect,
and do his
Image
bear.
3
You shall ascend God's holy Hill
who undefiled be;
And shall with him in Glory dwell
unto Eternity.
4
But as for you that have a Name,
but live as others do,
You, you shall fall and perish all,
God will you overthrow.
5
When godly Ones shall joy in Bliss,
and shall in Triumph reign,
You mourn shall in that deep Abyss,
God will your glory stain.
6
O glorious Lord, thy Spirit then
pour out upon us, so
That we may live to thee on Earth,
and unto Heaven go!

Ashamed be, and see the need
of further

Evil Thoughts abhor'd: Or, Heart-Purity
1
THy power, Lord, is very great,
to change the thoughts of men;
If
evil thoughts

see?
O

my heart within
From

O thou most holy One!
All they that do what things are right
may sing thy Praise alone.
2
All

Lord, in
Doctrine

Practice,

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,

Let such that
mingle
not themselves
thy Praises therefore sing;
And to
thy People let men join
in Faith,
to Praise our King.

Come out of
Babel
then all ye,
and be ye separate;
Depart all Godly ones, and flee

And drink you shall of his sweet Spring;
thus sing, and say,
Amen.

to
Die
upon the
Tree
!
Therefore, O Lord, with one accord
we will sing Praise to thee.

Thou hast a

didst Dye that we might Live
Therefore to thee continually
all Praises we will give.

A
bargain
's here! and 'twill appear
so to Eternity.
3
This

excels the rich
Beryl,
the

gold
of
Ophir

Begone

let every Soul then say,
This

purchase and buy
without further delay?

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 pierced him like a spear.
6
They look to him, therefore they
mourn,
and yet by
Faith rejoice
;
They cannot but
grieve,
nor yet forbear
to
sing
with cheerful Voice.

Such may rejoice well all their days
who are so
bravely clad.

Who would be fond of this
vain World,
from whence such

when we awake
and
rise:
If we do
Sleep
in
Jesus Christ
we then shall
win
the
Prize.

draw back,
whether 'tis more or less:
2
Rejoice ye Saints
and do not
fear
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 never shall move,
nor fall away; Besure
God's 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 caufe of
joy.
5
Come
Law
of
God,
what hast thou now
of us for to demand?
Thy
Curses
all did meet in Christ;
who in our stead did stand:
6
Tho' such do
Sin
thou canst not
Curse,
thy
Curses
all did lie
Upon our
bleeding Lord,
when he,
our
Sacrifice,
did
die
?
7
Come
Justice,
where is now thy
Charge
;
what hast thou now to show?
We do to thee present the
blood
which from Christ's
sides
did flow:
8
We shall not fall who do believe;
well may such sing; therefore
Draw back
they cannot so as to Die;
sing Praise for evermore.
HYMN 50.
The Power of God's Word.
1
O Lord, 'tis matter of high Praise
thy Word on us doth shine;
But Happy they who
feel
it's rays,
and glorious
Power
Divine.
2
O let poor
Sinners feel
their
Sin
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, He aled be;
4
And now in
Robes,
most richly
decked,
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,
thou
Worthy
art
alone,
6
All
Glory, Power,
and
Praise
to have,
by us for evermore;
Thus let us Sing unto our
King,
and him in Heart
adore.

OF
Mercy
still, O Lord,
We will together Sing;
And in sweet sacred Songs os Praise
Exalt our glorious King:
2
Let Heart and Tongue rejoice,
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 'twas
free Grace
that moved Thee
Our
cursed Debts
to
pay.
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
6
Then Sing, though' in the
Dust
You
lie a little while
;
A
Day
is near that will make all
God's pardoned 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.
2
Repent! Lord that's a
mighty
thing;
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
cannot not us
justify,
since
Sinners
we became.
4
Baptized be
! Lord, some we
fear
do not of that
approve
;
But
such
who are
indeed
Sincere,
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.

Clay,
For Bodies of the

Lord show unto thy
Servants
all
thy Favor 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,
so ever shall remaiu:
6
Some
joy
in
Wealth,
and others do
in
Pleasures
much
abound
;
But such alone have
cause
of
joy
that have God's
favor found.
HYMN 54.

Shepherd
sing;

And will you then go still
astray,
O see the

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

Can you forbear for to

?
4
Ah! he for you did
shed
his
blood,
he for his
Sheep
did
Die
!
And will you, Souls, your dearest Lord
again now
Crucify
!
5
Besides, the
Wolves

O
hear
your
Shepherd's Voice
!
O Sing unto your blessed
Lord,
and in him all rejoice:
6
Thou art our
Shepherd
and our
Guide.
our
Prophet, Priest
and
King,
Thou art our
Life,
our
Light
our
Hope,
from thee, our
joys
do Spring.

Then Ravish'd with thy Sacred Love,
let us thy Glory raise;
And mount our Souls to
Heaven

in Songs of lasting Praise;

That we with thee may all rejoice,

YE
Sinners
now come in,
Christ doth
invite
you all;
Return, return, make Angels sing,
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
:
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:
6
Still
Fat
and flourish shall,
God's Justice to express;
Our
Rock
is he, most pure and free
From all
Unrighteousness.

Then sing his Praises forth,
Him Honor and Adore;
For you shall sing unto your King
In Glory evermore.

Christ's Vine-yard.
1
THy
Vine-yard,
Lord, was purchased,
though
wild
it once did lie,
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
Of thy
Own Church,
and every Soul
who truly are sincere.

We will the Praises of the Lord
in sacred
Hymns
set forth;
And sing therefore with one accord,
whilst we do live on
Earth,

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 called,
whilst others
Idle stand
;
Lord help us all to work therein,
and yield to thy Command.
4
Thy care is great of thy
own Church,
thou
watcheth
it each day;
But
fruitless Trees
thou wilt
pluck up,
and throw them quite
away.
5
But wilt
prune
such that
fruitful
be,
we therefore thee adore,
And in sweet
Hymns
we'll sing to Thee,
now and for
Evermore.

Man,
who at the

of
Hell
did
Pale
and
Speechless
lie,
Not find a
Tongue,
and time to
Speak
?
Stones

your thankful Voices raise;
Who
Reconciled
are to God;
sing your
Redeemers

when they in
Blood
did lie,
For which we praise thy Holy Name,
and will thee magnify.
3
How Good art thou, to us, O Lord,
what plenteous
Food

sing praises unto Thee.

That
Satan

nor work our Overthrow.

in Heaven nor on Earth.

Of the great Dangers we are in,

O give us
Strength,

we may sing Praise to Thee!
Our Steps

and in the way of Peace
Lead

Thou wilt not
leave
us, we do know,
to
Fight,
or
War,

But wilt

us evemore,
until all Danger's gone.
Worthy art thou, therefore, O Lord,
of Praise continually;
Let all that is in us give Thanks,
and Praise Thee till we Die.

1
LOrd, of thy Mercy we will sing,

They that have said,
There is no Hope,
thy Mercy sweet have found.
2
Sinners break forth, and in amaze,
do you Rejoice, and say,
There's Hope,
that we may Mercy find,
believe, and do not stay.
3
O Lord, thou dost not look that Men
should Worthiness obtain:
Or some inherent fitness get,
much less be
Born again,
Before that they take hold on Thee,
but presently
Believe
;
And on thy
Promise
lay fast hold,
and
Ghrist
strait-way receive.
5
Glory to God, Glory to Christ,
let Sinners say no more,
There is no Hope
; let all
Believe,
and thy
free Grace
adore.

All Glory and high Praise to Thee,
who our sad
shame
didst bear.
3
Thy
Blood
was
shed,
and we are
fed
and
nourished
by Thee;
And by thy
Intercession
are
preserved
continually.
We need not fear what doth draw near,
because thy
Prayer
is heard;
For thou, according to our Day,
wilt Strength to us afford.
Ye Saints Rejoice, lift up your Voice,
Christ is at God's
right Hand

Between God's
Wrath
and our poor
Souls
he evermore doth stand.

'It is Faith whereby we do receive
free Pardon of our Sin;

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

Hell in a Rage: Sung at the Administration of Baptism.
1
LIft up your voice, sing and rejoice,

Do Sinners turn, and to Christ run,
this fills
Satan
with
Fears
;
2
This makes
Hell sad,
and Heaven glad,
the
Cherubs
claps their
wings
;
There's joy above to see what Love
is in the
King of Kings.

1
BEhold, and Wonder now,
in a most sacred Song;
O let's Exalt the Name of
Christ,
to him doth Praise belong.
2
A
Wonder
sure it was,
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
:
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
camest to
seek.
6
Thou never any failed,
that
sought
thee in their need;
Thou never
quenched
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

Love,
yet
few,
alas!
Love Thee.

The Wonder of Pardoning Grace.
1
COme

everyone,
the way that God hath found
To

us, it is such
Grace,

And with thy
Grace
exalt our
King,

our
Pardon
brought about:

Die,

Let Saints Praise Thee with one accord,

1
O Blessed Lord, what hast thou done?
what kind of
Spirit's

That makes thy
Saints
with joy to run,
and thy sweet
Lips

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
rejoice
;
And
upwards
they to thee do
move,
and sing with cheerful Voice.
4
Thy
acceptation,

thy
Love
and
Favor

Die.

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
rejoice,
And sing with joy of Heart;
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!

All Praise to
God, thus let us say

Live

Die
;
We that
believe
in
Jesus,
shall
have everlasting
joy.
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 show?
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
joined,
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.

For God did thee to Glory raise,
to pull down all

5
Salvation
is in Thee alone,
which is a thing not small:
Pardon
and
Peace,
and
Life's
in Thee,
O thou art
All in All
!
6
What is there more, what can we say,
but in the greatest
amaze,
Even stand and think, and evermore
sing forth thy Glorious Praise?

Go thy ways forth by the Footsteps of the Flock.
25th Psalm Tune.
1
O Thou my
fairest One!
Thus my
dear Lord

If thou wouldst know what thou must do,
And with my Saints partake;
2
Go up to yonder
Mount,
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
?
4
Seest thou the
Pastures
where
They do together
Feed
;
The
Shepherd
stands with both his Hands
To give them all they
Need
?
5
Their
Magna-Charta
is
My
Word;
that is thy Guide
;
O
follow them
that
follow Me,
And thy
Foot
never shall
slide!
6
Thither I will go, and
join,
There will I
Feast
and
Feed
;
There will I sing my
Shepherd
's Praise,
Who doth
supply
my
Need
!

Lord Jesus thou art mine!
O Blessed Day when we can say,
Lord Jesus I am thine!
2
Christ he is
ours
by
Deed of Gift,
and that's a
Title good
;
And Saints are his by
Purchase Right,
he
Bought
them with his
Blood.
3
Say then, I will 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
Lilies 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,
is his
delicious Fare.
6
O Let but
Me
and this
Church
be,
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
rejoice,
and sing God's Praises forth;
With
one
accord lift up your Voice,
who experience the
new Birth
:
2
And you that are not yet
renewed,
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,
rejoice with holy Dread;
Lord whilst we live let's sing thy Praise,
and do it as we read!

and with thy
Spirit
too,
Do

prepare
our
Hearts,

so as with thee to meet;
And find thy Word and Ordinance
to us exceeding sweet.

and thy great Name adore;
And filled be with inward Peace,
and
Praise thee evermore.

With
Faith

Diligence,

Word;
That cause we may have still to sing
unto our blessed Lord.
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, ever 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,
delivered be?
6
But blest are they,
who die in Christ,
their
Death to them is Gain,
Their
Souls do go to Paradise;
the
Wicked go to Pain.
7
Praised be God for Jesus Christ,
who gives such
Victory
Unto thy
Saints,
over
Sin
and
Death
;
sing Praise continually.
8
The
Godly
lie in a
sweet Sleep,
they
sleep
in Jesus do;
And no more
Pain,
nor
Sorrow
shall
forever 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;
Yea, 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 everyone?
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 excel all Men
;
Thou fairer art than ten Thousand
;
Hallelujah.
Amen.
HYMN 92.
The Rose of Sharon.
1
SHaron
the
Garden of the World,
the
Pride
of
Palestine
;
Whose
Natural soil
more
Glory bore
than
Solomon could
resign;
2
Could never produce so
sweet
a
Rose
as
I
will be to Thee.
So fair a
Lily
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
Lily
of the
Vale,
a
matchless Purity.
And I will sing thy Praise since thou
dost in my
Bosom
lie.

1
I'Ll tell you farther, that if such
A
Person
you shall see,
Whose
Eyes
like
Doves
are washed with
Milk
and
Water
this is
he
?
2
He hath a

'twill
Pierce

Adamantine
Ears;
And
wound

and
melt
it into

Eyes

set,
that can see all things

4
Whose
Eyes
are
Pure, Holy
and
Chast,
never
defiled
with
Sin
;
That never was in the least
Prompit
to take
foul Objects in.
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,
