The Burdens Thou didst bear, f
When hanging on th' accursed Tree,
And hopes her Guilt was there.

Unfruitfulness.
I.

ONG have we fat beneath the Sound
Of thy Salvation, LORD,

But ftill how weak our Faith is found,
And Knowledge of thy Word!

Oft

* 1 John ii. 5.

II.

Oft we frequent thine holy Place,
Yet hear almost in vain :

How small a Portion of thy Grace

Do our false Hearts retain.

III.

Our gracious SAVIOUR and our God,

How little art Thou known,

By all the Judgments of thy Rod,

And Bleffings of thy Throne ?

IV.

How cold and feeble is our Love,

How negligent our Fear !
How low our Hope of Joys above,

How few Affections there!

V.

Great God, thy sov'reign Aid impart,

To give thy Word Success;

Write thy Salvation on our Heart,

And make us learn thy Grace.

VI.

Shew our forgetful Feet the Way
That leads to Joys on high:
Where Knowledge grows without decay,

And Love shall never die.

7ITH Joy we meditate the Grace
Of our High Priest above;
