HYMN LIV.

CHRIST'S Incarnation

ALL-wife, all-good, almighty Lord,

Jefus, by highest Heaven ador'd,
Ere Time its Course began ;
How did thy glorious Mercy stoop
To take the fallen Nature up,

When Thou thyfelf wert Man?

Th' eternal God from Heav'n came down;
The King of Glory dropt his Crown,
And veil'd his Majefty:
Empty'd of all but Love he came ;
Jefus, I call thee by the Name.
Thy Pi y bore for me.

O holy Child, ftill let thy Birth

Bring Peace to us poor Worms of Earth,
And Praise to God on high!
Come, thou, who didft my Flesh affume,
Now to the abject Sinner come,

And in a Manger lie.

Didft thou not in thy Perfon join
The Natures Human and Divine,
That God and Men might be
Henceforth infeparably one?

Hafte then, and make thy Nature known
Incarnated in me.

my

In weak finful Flefh appear,
O God, be manifefted here,

Peace, Righteousness, and Joy,
Thy Kingdom, Lord, fet up within
My waiting Heart, and all my Sin,
The Devil's Works destroy.

O he cometh ! countless Trumpets
Blow before the bloody Sign,

"Midft ten thoufand Saints and Angels,
See the Crucified fhine,
Hallelujah Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Wellcome, wellcome, bleeding Lamb!

Now his Merit, by the Harpers,

Thro' th' eternal Deep refounds;
Now refplendent fhine his Nail-prints,
Ev'ry Eye fhall fee his Wounds:

They who pierc'd him, they who pierc'd him,

[they who pierc'd him,

Shall at his Appearing wail.

Ev'ry Inland, Sea, and Mountain,.
Heav'n and Earth, fhall flee away;
All who hate him, muft, ashamed,
Hear the Trump proclaim the Day.

Come to Judgment, come to Judgment, come to
Stand before the Son of Man.

Shining in his bruised Face,

Now his People's Head fhall raise.

Happy Mourners, happy Mourners, happy.

Lo! in Clouds, he comes, he comes.

Now Redemption, long expected,
See in folemn Pomp appear;
All his People, once despised,

Now fhall meet him in the Air.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah !
Now the promis'd Kingdom's come.

View him fmiling, now determin'd
Ev'ry Evil to deftroy;

All the Nations now fhall fing him
Songs of everlafting Joy.

O come quickly! O come quickly! O come

Hallelujah! comè, Lord, come.

Admiring CHRIST'S Love.

E Children of my God,
Ye dear peculiar Race,

And fav'd through Faith by Grace:

Attend and join to tell his Fame,

Whom John the Baptist call'd the Lamb.

From

From all Eternity!

He lov'd the Sinner's Train,
His Love him forc'd to die,
Compell'd him to be flain

For us, and in our Stead he ftood,
With all his Garments roll'd in Blood.

His Heart he fet on us

When we were Enemies; And on th' accurfed Cross,

Amidft his Tears and Cries,

He pray'd for us, who us'd him fo,
Father they know not what they do.

He thought upon us when

The Blood ran from his Heart,
In all his Griefs and Pain,
In all his chiefeft Smart:

Tho' we it caus'd, he all forgave,
And bare it that he might us fave.

Still he remains the fame,

His Foes he loves, and cries,

Believe ye in my Name,

Lift up (ye Loft) your Eyes: Rehold me, and you yet fhall live, I freely will Salvation give.
