5 Here I can read and learn how Christ, the Son of God, Did undertake our great concern,-- our ransom cost his blood. 6 And now he reigns above, he sends his Spirit down To show the wonders of his love, and make his gospel known. 7 O may that Spirit teach, and make my heart receive Those truths which all thy servants preach, and all thy saints believe! 8 Then shall I praise the Lord in a most cheerful strain, That I was taught to read his Word, and have not learned in vain. IX.--_The All-seeing God._ 1 Almighty God, thy piercing eye strikes through the shades of night, And our most secret actions lie all open to thy sight. 2 There’s not a sin that we commit, nor wicked word we say, But in thy dreadful book ’tis writ against the judgment day. 3 And must the crimes that I have done be read and publish’d there? Be all exposed before thy Son, while men and angels hear? 4 Lord, at thy feet asham’d I lie, upward I dare not look; Pardon my sins before I die, and blot them from thy book. 5 Remember all the dying pains that my Redeemer felt, And let his blood wash out my stains, and answer for my guilt. 6 O may I now for ever fear T’ indulge a sinful thought, Since the great God can see and hear and writes down every fault. X.--_Solemn Thoughts of God and Death._ 1 There is a God that reigns above, lord of the heavens and earth and seas, I fear his wrath, I ask his love, and with my lips I sing his praise. 2 There is a law which he has writ, to teach us all what we must do; My soul, to his commands submit, for they are holy, just and true. 3 There is a gospel of rich grace, whence sinners all their comfort draw Lord, I repent and seek thy face, for I have often broke thy law. 4 There is an hour when I must die, nor do I know how soon ’twill come; A thousand children young as I are called by death to hear their doom. 5 Let me improve the hours I have, before the day of grace is fled; There’s no repentance in the grave, nor pardon offered to the dead. 6 Just as a tree cut down, that fell to north or southward, there it lies: So man departs to heaven or hell, fix’d in the state wherein he dies. XI.--_Heaven and Hell._ 1 There is beyond the sky, a heaven of joy and love; And holy children when they die, go to that world above.
