YOU that the Holy JESUS love,
Make mention of his Name;* 1.1
The great Atchievements of his Grace
In thankful Verse proclaim.

True, they the highest Thoughts surpass,
Can't be in Words exprest;* 1.2
Yet something of 'em you may tell,
And wonder out the rest.

Remember all his mighty Deeds,
And all his Sufferings too,* 1.3
How he abas'd his Glorious Self,
To bleed and die for you.

Remember all the Shame and Scorn,
The Vinegar and Gall,* 1.4
The gaping Wounds thrô which he pour'd* 1.5
His Blood, his Life, and All.

His Vertues, and his Miseries* 1.6
Both numberless were found;
Sorrows from Earth, from Heaven and Hell,* 1.7
His innocent Soul surround.

Crucify'd by the worst of Men,* 1.8
Forsaken by the best;
With th' endless Number of our Sins,* 1.9
Sins endless Weight oppress'd.* 1.10

* 1.11He felt the Curses of the Law,
* 1.12His Father's Wrath sustain'd,
Endur'd the cruel shock of all
* 1.13The Powers of Hell unchain'd.

* 1.14But after all victorious He
In Triumph did ascend,
* 1.15And now prepares us Crowns and Thrones,
* 1.16And Joys that ne're shall end.
