II. That heav'nly Teacher, sent from God, shall your whole soul inspire; Your minds shall fill with sacred truth, your hearts with sacred fire. 111. Peace is the gift I leave with you, my peace to you bequeath; Peace that shall comfort you through life, and cheer your souls in death. IV. I give not, as the world bestows, with promise false and vain; Nor cares, nor fears, shall wound the heart in which my words remain. BEHOLD XLIV. JOHN, xix. 30. I. EHOLD the Saviour on the cross, a spectacle of wo! See from his agonizing wounds the blood incessant flow, II. Till Death's pale ensigns o'er his cheek and trembling lips were spread; Till light forsook his closing eyes, and life his drooping head. III. 'Tis finish'd-was his latest voice; these sacred accents o'er, He bow'd his head, gave up the ghost, and suffer'd pain no more. IV. 'Tis finish'd-The Messiah dies V. 'Tis finish'd—All his groans are past; his blood, his pain, and toils, Have fully vanquished our foes, and crown'd him with their spoils. VI. 'Tis finish'd-Legal worship ends, and gospel ages run; All old things now are past away, and a new world begun. XLV. 231 ROMANS, ii. 4,-8. 258.1 UNGRATEFUL sinners! whence this of God's long-suff'ring grace? [scorn And whence this madness, that insults th' Almighty to his face? II. Is it because his patience waits, III. Dost thou not know, self-blinded man! his goodness is design'd To wake repentance in thy soul, and melt thy harden'd mind? VI. And wilt thou rather choose to meet th' Almighty as thy foe, And treasure up his wrath in store against the day of wo? V. Soon shall that fatal day approach, that must thy sentence seal, And righteous judgments now unknown, in awful pomp reveal; VI. While they who full of holy deeds to glory seek to rise, Continuing patient to the end, shall gain th' immortal prize. End Coben XLVI. ROMANS, iii. 19,-22. I.' VAIN are the hopes the sons of men upon their works have built; Their hearts by nature are unclean, their actions full of guilt. 11. Silent let Jew and Gentile stand, without one vaunting word; And, humbled low, confess their guilt before heaven's righteous Lord. III. No hope can on the law be built of justifying grace; The law, that shows the sinner's guilt, condemns him to his face. IV. Jesus! how glorious is thy grace! when in thy name we trust, Our faith receives a righteousness that makes the sinner just. XLVII. ROMANS, vi. 1,-7. I. AND shall we then go on to sin, that grace may more abound? Great God, forbid that such a thought should in our breast be found! When to the sacred fount we came, did not the rite proclaim, That, wash'd from sin, and all its stains, new creatures we became ? |
