Are forc'd into a flame,

But kindled, oh! how fierce they blaze!
And rend all nature's frame.

4 At his approach the mountains flee,
And feek a wat❜ry grave:

The frighted fea makes hafte away,
And fhrinks up ev'ry wave.

5 Through the wide air the mighty rocks
Are fwift as hail-ftones hurl'd:
Who dares engage his-fiery rage,
That fhakes the folid world?

Yet, mighty God! thy fov'reign grace
Sits regent on the throne,
The refuge of thy chofen race

When wrath comes rufhing down.

7 Thy hand fhall on rebellious kings
A fiery tempeft pour,

While we beneath thy fhelt'ring wings
Thy just revenge adore.

I AWAKE, our fouls, (away, our fears,
Let ev'ry trembling thought be gone,)
Awake, and run the heav'nly race,
And put a cheerful courage on.

2 True, 'tis a ftrait and thorny road,
And mortal spirits tire and faint;
But they forget the mighty GoD,

That feeds the ftrength of every faint.

Is ever new, and ever
young,

And firm endures, while endless years
Their everlasting circles run.

4 From thee, the overflowing fpring,
Our fouls fhall drink a fresh fupply,
While fuch as truft their native strength
Shall melt away, and drop and die.

We'll mount aloft to thine abode ;
On wings of love our fouls fhall fly,
Nor tire amidst the heav'nly road.

OW ftrong thine arm is, mighty GOD!
Who would not fear thy name?

Jefus, how sweet thy graces are!

Who would not love the Lamb?

From bonds of hell he freed our fouls,
And taught our lips to fing.

In the Red fea by Mofes' hand

Th' Egyptian hoft was drown'd;
But his own blood hides all our fins,.
And guilt no more is found.

4 When through the defart Ifra'l went,
With manna they were fed;
Our Lord invites us to his flesh,
And calls it living bread.

5 Mofes beheld the promis'd land,
Yet never reach'd the place;

But Chrift fhall bring his followers home,
To fee his Father's face.

6 Then fhall our love and joy be full,
And feel a warmer flame;

And fweeter voices tune the fong
Of Mofes and the Lamb..

NOW be the God of Ifra’l bless'd,

Who makes his truth appear;

His mighty hand fulfils his word,
And all the oaths he fware.

2 Now he bedews old David's root
With bleffings from the skies;

He makes the branch of promise grow,
The promis'd horn arife.

[3 John was the prophet of the Lord
To go before his face,

The herald which our Saviour GoD
Sent to prepare his ways.

4 He makes the great falvation known,
He speaks of pardon'd fins;

5

While grace divine, and heav'nly love,
In its own glory fhines.

"Behold the Lamb of GoD," he cries,
"That takes our guilt away;
"I faw the Spirit o'er his head
"On his baptizing day.]

6" Be ev'ry vale exalted high,
"Sink every mountain low;

"The proud must stoop, and humble fouls "Shall his falvation know.

"The heathen re'lms with Ifra'l's land

"Shall join in fweet accord;

"And all that's born of man fhall fee

"The glory of the Lord.

8" Behold the morning Star arife, "Ye that in darkness fit;

"He marks the paths that lead to peace, "And guides our doubtful feet."

O GOD the only wife,
Our Saviour and our King,

Let all the faints below the skies
Their humble praises bring.

His counsel and his care,
