9. For thine's the pow'r, the glory

thine,

John xi. 55, &c.

With mind fix'd and eager, To a place, where he did know, Jews would him beleaguer. 3. (Oft,when many with him walk'd, To his twelve friends turning, He of things had with them talk'd His own Death concerning: How men him with scorn would treat, Then condemn him thro pure hate, Scourges, and Reviling, And his Blood be spilling; 4. He fhould die, as Prophets wrote,

Lie interr'd a feason,

And on earth an Antidote

Be 'gainst Satan's poifon ; Laftly rife on the third day,

Burft death's bands in th' middle: But when he those things did fay, 'Twas to them a riddle.)

5. So, when that Feftivity Was at fix days distance, Jefus came to Bethany,

To his chief acquaintance. Martha welcom'd him, and dress'd For her Lord a Supper; Laz'rus too eats, for the feaft Simon's house feem'd proper. 6. As he there at table fits, Faint with forrows pungent, Mary quick a vial splits

Full of precious Unguent, Wets all o'er his facred Head, Ev'n his Feet perfuming:

1.JE

To a place retreated;

Ephrem they the village ftile,

In the Defart feated:

He a little time ftaid there

With his twelve disciples;
Paffah, that great Feast was near,
The whole Jewish people's.

2. But when the right hour once came
For his own departure,
As the real Pafchal Lamb
Offer'd up in torture;

Therefore 'twas becoming,

158.

Sion's daughter joyful be,

Thy Lord comes on an ass to

thee,

The crofs's death to fuffer:

Happy the foul whose confidence, Whofe faith is in the flaughter'd prince;

Such he lets perish never!

159.

Our Lord's Prayer, John xvii.

1. Ather! now the time is come
To fhew thy Son's glory ;,
And this to thy Son gives room
To make known thy glory.
2. Therefore all the flef that lives,
To him thou gav'ft over;
That he to all who believe,
Might give life for ever.
3. And th' eternal life is here,
That his own can call thee

Eli! and thy Son fo dear
My flesh, my bone truly!

4.

All the while he was below,
He hath been thy honour,

And hath done the work, which thou
To his care didft render.

5. And then, Father! gav'st thou him That majestic flation, Which he had before all time,

'Fore the world's foundation.

6. To those whom thou mad ft his own, (From the vein world fever'd) He hath made thee fully known, Thy name he discover'd. 7, All his creatures were thy own, The twelve not excepted; But thou gav'ft them. thy Son, Thy will they accepted.

8. He had made them understand,

That all he's poffeffing, (Tho' He made it with his hand) Was the Father's bleffing. 9. Ev'ry gift he gave to them, And which they received, That from thy kind hand it came, Always they believed.

1

10. They for certain knew, that he
From thee was defcending
And believ'd, that willingly
Thou on earth had fent him.

11. For thefe agoniz'd thy Lamb,
Not for all the people:
But for thofe that lov'd his name,
Wages for his travel.

12. What was his, was also thine,
And was led unto thee:
What was thine, did his remain
And advanc'd his glory.

13. He is in the world no more:
They are here abiding
Longer, and he is gone there
Where he is refiding.

14. Holy Father! grant that they,
Who're for thee created,
Undifturb'd may Abba cry,

In one be cemented.

15. All the time he had with them
Here his conuerfation,
He did keep them in thy name
Without Interruption.

16. He kept for thee ev'ry one
Who was in his nurture:
Save the disobedient fon,

Who fulfill'd the Scripture.
17. But e're he went up to thee
In thy Realm, be order'd,
The difciples joy fould be

Full, and by nought hinder'd.
18 Thy word to them plain he made,
Whom the world so hated;
For they no more than their Head,
Were to her related.

19Not for their life's end he pray'd, But for their protection

From the World; because they had With it no connexion.

20 In the truth, which is thy word, Sanctify them always:

He was thy Embajador,

Now they are what he was.
21. For them he did willingly
Offer himself wholly,
To the end that they should be
In him truly holy.

22. His Peace is not only theirs ;
But all who give credit
To their Witnefs, fhall be heirs
Of all he did merit.

23. That as thou art in the Son,
And the Son is in thee;

So they all

may be but One,

One Soul, and one Body.

24. Thus the World will fee, that thou Haft fent him, and bleffeft Them fo, as thou here below Thy dear Son embracedft. 25. Father! this he begg'd of thee; That all thou gavft to him Should be there, where he shall be, As parts clearing to him. 26. That his glory in thy throne They, with joy abounding, May fee; for thou lov'dft the Son Long e'er the world's founding. 27. Thee the world hath never known, Righteous Father! but he Hath known thee, and these his own Knew he was fent by thee. 28. To these people he thy Name Then hath represented; And he will thy Heart and them Make ftill more acquainted : 29. Till thy love, which on the throne

In him always center'd,

Be within them, and the San

Into them is enter'd.

Da Jefus an dem creatze fund

Hen Jefus on the Cross was found,

His body pierc'd with many a wound, With torture very bitter;

The dying Words, which he then fpoke,

With a ftill heart confider. 2. First, he does to his Father speak In heaven's kingdom, fweetly meek, What they to me are doing, Father! forgive, they know it not: Here he's Love's pattern fhewing. 3. Weigh next the mercy and relief Beftow'd on the repenting Thief; He the poor Heart addresses, Verly thou shalt in Paradife To-day feel my careffes.

4. Thirdly, obferve the tender care Which he ftill for his Houfe did bear; Woman, lo! there is thy Son: John! fee thy Mother there; and this Was the firft Crofs-church union. The fourth Word, on the cross accurft,

5.

By our Prince spoken, was, I thirst! With fuch keen Thirst he's pained For our Juftification: now,

Dear Heart, his cordial's gained. 6. Weigh too the fcorn he underwent, As he to God the fifth word fent,

A Scorn which knew no measure;

My God, ny God! why leav't thou me? Am I no more thy pleasure?

7. The fixth's a very pow'rful word, Which many a finner poor hath heard

Out of his Mouth proceeding; 'Tis finish'd: what? our Happiness: Thro' what? his Wounds fo bleeding.

8. Father! when all was at an end, Immanuel fays, I recommend My Spirit feparated
