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

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, 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!

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.

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.

3 'Tis thy most great and glorious Name we should for ever 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.

1 WHo knows, Lord, what thy Power is thou Glorious art in Might; Can ought be hard for Thee to do, whose Power's Infinite.

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 Pow'r's in Thee; Thou soon canst too annihilate all things which we do see.

5 None can before thy Power stand, nor thy dread Strength resist; Thy Pleasure thou wilt do we know, yea, all things thou dost list.

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.

And all thy Saints, with one accord, shall Praise thy Name alone.

Thy Loving Kindness shall not fail; nor shall thy Faithfulness: sing unto the Lord, ye Saints, and him for ever 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 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,

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.

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. '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.

HYMN 11. Abounding Mercy of God in Christ.

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 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:

4 But some will not thy Mercy have, they it do not desire;

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.

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.

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;

••et he lifts up his bruised Bones 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!

1 Heaven is come down to Earth Hither the Angels fly, Hark how the Heavenly Quire doth sing, Glory to God on high!

4 Heaven and Earth rejoyce 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

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

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.

Depart all Godly ones, and flee before it is too Late!

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 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.

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.

4 You that Believers are, arise, and all Baptized be;

Take heed you do not still dispise Christ's Holy Baptisme.

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▪

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.

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.

3 To such as we that Chosen be, and called by his Grace; Who Nat'rally in filth did ly, condemn'd with Adam's Race,

4 But now made near and sav'd from fear, being rais'd up on high; Wash'd in Christ's Blood, enjoying Good; sing Praise continually.

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 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 we this thing do see,] That thou, who art all Life and Love, yet few, alass! Love Thee.

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 '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, to bring poor sinners in; 'Tis Voluntiers he would obtain, to fight against their Sin.

3 Christ worthy is, his Service too, will raise you very high; His Wages is a Crown of Life, his Servants never Die.

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;

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!

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:

3 Seest thou that Folded Flock, Whose Heart the Spirit tyes; Whom Gospel-Order calls into Distinct Societies?

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, is his delicious Fare.

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.

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.

••••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?

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;

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?

2 He hath a killing Eye, 'twill Pierce 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!

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 Ran∣some 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.* 1.2

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.
