 Well may I bluſh and weep to ſee What Jeſus bore for love of me.

But Oh! my ſoul, thy grief refrain, Jeſus the Saviour lives again: On the third day the Conqu'ror roſe, And greatly triumph'd o'er his foes; Prov'd his recover'd life and then Aſcending to his heaven again.

Exalted on a ſhining throne, At God's right hand he ſets him down, To plead the merits of his blood. And rule for all his people's good: Wide o'er all world: his pow'r extends, And well can he protect his friends. May I in that bleſt band appear. Secure from danger, and from fear!

HEY muſt repent, and muſt believe, Who Chriſt's ſalvation would receivę. Oh! may thy Spirit faith impart, And work repentance in my heart!

Bleſs'd Jeſus, who can be ſo baſe, As to ſuſpect thy pow'r, or grace! Or who can e'er ſo ſtupid be To flight thy bleſſings, Lord, and thee! With humble rev'rend hope and love I to thy gracious feet would move, And to thy care my all reſign, Reſolv'd to be for over thine;
