Surely in Mercy He'll pafs by,

And view a wretched Slave of Sin; Pity will move Him to come nigh,

And wash a filthy Creature clean.-Zech. 13. 1

In Mercy, LORD, thy Creature fee,
My Guilt, my Shame, and Mis'ry hide;
O fpeak the Word, and I fhall be
Cloath'd with thy Robe and juftify'd.

Then fhall my happy Soul enjoy

A lafting Peace, in Thee, my God; Then my whole Bufinefs and Employ Shall be to speak of JESU's Blood.

The Sinner ftopp'd by Grace.

Dear REDEEMER, who alone
Canft give me Eafe in Pain:

Whofe Blood did once for Sin atone,
And Pardon for me gain.

I once was wholly dead in Sin,-Eph. 2. 1.

And ignorant of Thee;

And walk'd contentedly therein,

Nor knew thy Love to me.

But thine all-feeing Eye then view'd

And mark'd my ev'ry Way;

And still in tender Love purfu'd,
Nor let me further ftray.

My faithlefs Heart, O SAVIOUR Dear
Correct with gentle Hand;

In ev'ry Danger be thou near,

Alone I cannot ftand.

HYMN XXXV. 68 8.
Immutability of God's Love.
My diftruftful Heart,

How fmall thy Faith appears!
But greater, LORD, thou art,
Than all iny Doubts and Fears:
Did JESUS once upon me fhine è
Then JESUS is for ever mine.

Unchangeable his Will;
Whatever be my Frame:
His loving Heart is ftill
Eternally the fame.

My Soul thro' many Changes goes §
His Love no. Variation knows.

Thou, Lord, wilt carry on,
And perfectly perform,
The Work thou haft begun,

In me a finful Worm:

"Midft all my Fear, and Sin, and Woe,

Thy Spirit will not let me go.

The Bowels of thy Grace,
At first, did freely move;
I ftill fhall fee thy Face,

And feel that God is Love!
My Soul into thine Arms I caft;
I know, I fhall be faved at laft.

Till it break out in endless Day.
