PROMISE of SANCTIFICATION.

xxxvi. 25, &c.

By the Rev. Mr..

''God of all power, and truth, and grace, Which shall from age to age endure; Whose word, when heaven and earth shall pass, Remains, and stands for ever sure:''

''Calmly to thee my soul looks up, And waits thy promises to prove; The object of my stedfast hope, The seal of thine eternal love.''

''That I thy mercy may proclaim, That all mankind thy truth may see, Hallow thy great and glorious name, And perfect holiness in me.''

''Chose from the world if now I stand Adorned in righteousness divine, If brought unto the promis'd land, I justly call the Saviour mine;''

''Perform the work thou hast begun, My inmost soul to thee convert: Love me, for ever, love thine own, And sprinkle with thy blood my heart.''
