Bid it bear precious fruit:

And make thy word take root.

And blefs the feed that's fown.

Send thy Spirit from above
To quicken and apply.

WHAT fhall I do my Saviour to praise? So faithful and true; fo plenteous in grace; So ftrong to deliver; fo good to redeem The weakest believer who hangs upon him! 2 How happy the man whofe heart is set free! The people who can be joyful in thee, Their joy is to walk in the light of thy face; And ftill they are talking of Jesus's grace. 3 Their daily delight will be in thy name; They fhall,as their right, thy righteousness claim: Thy righteoufnefs wearing, and cleans'd by thy blood,

Bold fhall they appear in the prefence of God.

With angels round the throne:

Ten thousand thousands are their tongues;
But all their joys are one.

M

2 Worthy the Lamb that dy'd, they cry, To be exalted thus!

Worthy the Lamb, our hearts reply,
For he was flain for us!

3 Jefus is worthy to receive

Honour and pow'r divine:

And bleffings, more than we can give,
Be, Lord, for ever thine.

The faints and angels join in one,
To blefs the facred name
Of him who fits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.

122,

NOW to the pow'r of God fupreme Be everlasting honours giv'n!

He faves from hell; we blefs his name;
He calls loft wand'ring fouls to heav'n,

2 Not for our duties, nor deferts,
But of his own abounding grace,
He brings falvation to our hearts,
And thereby forms us for his praife.

3

'Twas his own purpose that began
To refcue rebels doom'd to die:
He gave us grace in Chrift his Son
Before he form'd the starry fky.
