HYMNS Out of the NEW TESTAMENT.
HYMN 261. The Fan of Judgment.
Mat. 3.12.
THE Lord, whose fan is in his hand,
shall one day purge his floor;
And he will purge it thoroughly,
that it shall need no more.
Into his glorious granary
gathering his wheat together:
But then will He burn up the chaff,
with fire that burns for ever.
HYMN 262. The Agreement necessary.
Mat. 5.25.
AGree thou with thy ENEMY,
while with him in the way
Lest he should hale thee to the judge,
that will compell to pay.
The Judge unto the Officer
commit thee by command;
And thou be made a Prisoner,
under the Serjeants hand.
For verily I tell thee right,
from thence thou shalt not get:
Till thou hast pay'd the utmost mite,
of all thy dreadfull debt.
