Lay by your doubt and anxious fear,-
And lean upon the Saviour's breast;
All's ftolen fruit that can be found,
To chear the fouls on nature's ground.

Jefus for finners bled and dy'd;

The facred word reports there's room,
The Lamb fhall take you for his bride.
Your fouls fhall find a refting place,
In arms of everlasting grace.

With joy and peace and love!

Unless thou'rt present here,

We utter heartless prayer:

Blow on the drooping field;

Our fpices then shall breathe perfume,
And fragrant incenfe yield.

And put our fouls in frame.

And never with it part!

To each thy bleffing suit;
And let the feed thy fervant fows,
Produce abundant fruit.

Say to the fouth-wind blow;
Let every plant the pow'r partake,
And all the garden grow.

SON

CON of God, thy bleffing grant,
Still fupply my every want,
Tree of life! thine influence shed,
With thy fap, my spirit feed.

2 Tend'reft branch, alas! am I,
With'ring without thee, lo! I die;
Weak, as helpless, infancy;
O confirm my foul in thee.

3 Unfuftain'd by thee, I fall,
Send the ftrength for which I call!
Weaker than a bruifed reed,

Help I every moment need.

4 All my hopes on thee depend,
Love me, fave me, to the end!
Give me the continuing grace;
Take the everlasting praise!

That the Lord would guide my ways,
To keep his ftatutes ftill!

O that my God would grant me grace,
To know and do his will!

2 Lord, fend thy fpirit down to write
Thy law upon my heart;
Nor let my tongue indulge deceit,
Nor act the liar's part:

3 From vanity turn off my eyes,
Let no corrupt defign;
Nor covetous defires arife

Within this foul of mine.

4 Order my footsteps by thy word,
And make my heart fincere,
Let fin have no dominion Lord,
But keep my confcience clear.

5 Make me to walk in thy commands,
"Tis a delightful road;

Nor let my head, or heart, or hands,

Offend againft my God.
