CANT. I. 4.
—The upright love thee.
HYMN 10.
THou art belov'd, and best approv'd,Of all that are upright,Whose hearts are sound, sincerely bound;Thou art their chief delight:Whose very heart and souly part,Dwells with the Truth; and when▪Mens hearts are truly true to thee,As thou art true to them.Tho Sinners scorn, and all forlorn,In their ungodly sight:
descriptionPage 12
Wretches they are, that would not care,To Love thee, if they might.The Hypocrite will speak thee fair,But hath no love within:Kiss▪ and betray, like Judas they;O Lord, it is their Sin!My Lord! I love thee truly, thoI Love not as I should:I love thee, yet I love thee not;At least, not as I would:I would I could; but since 'tis so,Worms can but act as Worms▪Accept a real wish it were,A spark till Fire burns.
