He will all glory, all perfection be,
God in the Union and the Trinity!
That holy, great and glorious mystery
Will there revealed be in majesty,
By light and comfort of spiritual grace;
The vision of our Saviour face to face,
In his humanity! to hear him preach
The price of our redemption, and to teach,
Through his inherent righteousness in death,
The safety of our souls and forfeit breath!
What fulness of beatitude is here!

What love with mercy mixed doth appear!
To style us friends, who were by nature foes!
Adopt us heirs by grace, who were of those
Had lost ourselves; and prodigally spent
Our native portions and possessed rent!
Yet have all debts forgiven us; an advance
By imputed right to an inheritance
In his eternal kingdom, where we sit
Equal with angels, and co-heirs of it.

THE SINNER'S CRY TO HIS SAVIOUR.

By that sweet name, which name we invocate
When sable sadness doth oppress the heart,
For whose dear sake our still-declining state
Finds comfort in the midst of sorrow's smart-
I pray in my lament, thou act a part:
Restore me, that in sinful ways am lost,
And, Shepherd! save thy sheep that's almost lost!

Oh, light of heaven! thou wast extinct on earth, Yet to our souls celestial life dost give,

Thy death our life, thy rising our new birth ;

Thou with thy heavenly blessings dost relieve, Thou, three days dead, didst make us ever live: Thou, at whose death obscur'd were earth and sky, Reduce me to the right, that run awry.

Fountain of grace! from whom doth, only, run Water of life, to save our souls from death! Oh, Saviour of the world! pure Virgin's Son. That in red earth' infus'd first vital breath, Joining thy Godhead with humanity!

The name, Adam, signifies red carth.
