THE GOSPEL DISCOVERY.

, my God, exert thy power, Inſpire my ſoul to ſing, The wonders of redeeming love, To heaven's Almighty King. 2 He bows the heavens and comes down, Into our lions den, To vent his everlaſting love unto the ſons of men. 3The wonder of wonders now appears, BOth lowly meek and mild; A Virgin Mary moſt conceive; Our God appears a child. 4 The angels ſing, the ſhepherds run And ſees Chriſt with their eyes, Which was ordain d, by heaven’s decree, For ſin, the ſacrfice. 5 Our great Immanuel, God-man, Did in a manger lye, Who ſoon did break the ſerpent's head, And all his powers defy.
