Psal. VI.

RAise thy head, O my soul! and look up; and behold the glory of thy crucify'd Sa∣viour:

He that was dead and layd in the grave, * low enough to prove himself Man,

Is risen again and ascended into heaven, * high enough to prove himself God:

He is risen, and made the light his Garment; and commanded the Clouds to be the chariot of his triumph:

The gates of heaven obey'd their Lord; and the everlasting doors opened to the King of glory:

Enter bright King attended with thy beaute∣ous Angels; and the glad train of thy new de∣liver'd Captives:

Enter, and repossess thy antient Throne; and reign eternally at the right hand of thy Father:

May every knee bow low to thy exalted Name; and every tongue confess thy glory:

May all created nature adore thy Power; and the Church of thy Redeem'd exult in thy goodnes:

Whom have we in heav'n, O Lord, but Thee, who expresly wentst thither to make way for thy followers?

What have we on earth but our hope, by following Thee, * to arrive at last where Thou art gon before us?

O glorious JESU, our strength, our Joy; and the immortal life of all our Souls!

Be Thou the principal subject of our studyes; and dayly entertainment of our most serious thoughts:

Draw us, O dearest Lord, from the World, and our selvs; that we be not entangled with any earthly desires:

Draw us after Thee, and the odours of thy sweetnes; that we may run with delight the ways of thy Commands:

Draw us up to Thee on thy Throne of blyss; that we may see thy face, and rejoyce with Thee for ever in thy Kingdom.

Glory be, &c.
