And may the Holy Three in One,

The Father, Word, and Comforter,
Pour an abundant bleffing down

On ev'ry foul affembled here!

[blocks in formation]

3 TO thee our wants are known, From thee are all our pow'rs;

Accept what is thine own,

And pardon what is ours:
Our praises, Lord, and pray'rs receive,
And to thy word a bleffing give.

2 Oh, grant that each of us
Now met before thee here,
May meet together thus,

When thou and thine appear!
And follow thee to heav'n our home.
E'en fo, Amen, Lord Jefus, come *.

FATHER of angels and of men,
Saviour, who hast us bought,

Spirit by whom we're born again,
And fanctify'd and taught !

Thy glory, holy Three in One,
Thy people's fong shall be,

Long as the wheels of time shall run,
And to eternity.

HYMN CVI.

GLORY to God, the Father's name,
to Jefus, who for tinners dy'd;
The Holy spirit claims the fame,
By whom our fouls are fanctify'd.
2 Tby praife was fung when time began
By angels, thro' the ftarry spheres ;
And fhall, as now, be fung by man
Thro' vast eternity's long years.

The Kite; or, Pride must have a fall.

My waking dreams are beft conceal'd,
Much folly, little good they yield;
But now and then I gain, when fleeping,
A friendly hint that's worth the keeping:
Lately I dreamt of one who cry'd,
"Beware of felf, beware of pride;
When you are prone to build a Babel,›
Recal to mind this little fable."

NCE on a time a paper kite

ONCE

Was mounted to a wondrous height,
Where, giddy with its elevation,
It thus expreis'd felf-admiration:
"See how yon crowds of gazing people
Admire my flight above the fteeple;
How would they wonder if they knew
All that a kite like me can do?
Were I but free, I'd take a flight,
And pierce the clouds beyond their fight,
But, ah! like a poor pris'ner bound,
My ftring confines me near the ground:
I'd brave the eagle's tow'ring wing,
Might I but fly without a ftring.'

[ocr errors]

It tugg'd and pull'd, while thus it fpoke,
To break the ftring-at laft it broke.
Depriv'd at once of all its ftay,
In vain it try'd to foar away;
Unable its own weight to bear,
It flutter'd downward thro' the air;
Unable its own courfe to guide,
The winds foon plung'd it in the tide.
Ah! foolish kite, thou hadft no wing,
How couldft thou fly without a string!

My heart reply'd, "O Lord, I fee
How much this kite refembles me!
