1 UR spirits join t'adore the e Oh, that our feeble lips could move, e 2 Was ever equal pity found? e The Prince of heav'n resigns his breath, And pours his life out on the ground-To ransom guilty worms from death. e 3 Rebels, we broke our Maker's laws; -He from the threat'ning sets us free; Bore the full vengeance on his cross, And nail'd the curses to the tree. наде -6 In vain our mortal voices strive olad we a thousand lives to give, OW are thy glories here display'd, Great God! how bright they shine! While at thy word, we break the bread, And pour the flowing wine! e 2 Here thy revenging justice stands, And pleads its dreadful cause; o Here saving mercy spreads her hands, Like Jesus on the cross. -3 Thy saints attend, with ev'ry grace, On this great sacrifice; And love appears with cheerful face, e 4 Our hope in waiting posture sits, o Here ev'ry warmer passion meets, And warmer pow'rs unite. o 5 Zeal and revenge perform their part, And rising sin destroy; e Repentance comes with aching heartYet not forbids the joy. 6 Dear Saviour, change our faith to sight; Let sin for ever die; o Then shall our souls be all delight, And ev'ry tear be dry. BEDFORD. MEAR, have addressed a special Song of Glory to God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Though the Latin name of it, Gloria Patri, be retained in the English Nation from the Roman Church; and though there may be some Excesses of superstitious Honour paid to the words of it, which may have wrought some unhappy prejudices in weaker Christians; yet I believe it still to be one of the noblest parts of Christian Worship. The subject of it is the doctrine of the Trinity, which is that peculiar Glory of the Divine Nature, that our Lord Jesus Christ has so clearly revealed unto Men, and is so necessary to true Christianity. The Action is Praise, which is one of the most complete and exalted Parts of heavenly Worship. I have cast the Song into a Variety of Forms, and have fitted it, by a plain Version, or a larger Paraphrase, to be sung either alone, or at the conclusion of another Hymn.I have also added a few Hosannas, or Ascriptions of Salvation to Christ, in the same Manner, and for the same End.
