YE weary wanderers draw near,

That know no folid peace or reft, Lay by each doubt and anxious fear, And lean upon your Saviour's breaft: All's ftolen fruit that can be found To chear the foul on nature's ground. 2 Come, for the gospel bids you come: JESUS for finners bled and dy'd; The facred word reports there's room, The Lamb he woos you for his bride; Your fouls fhall find a refting-place In th' arms of everlasting grace.

3 The day of finall things don't defpife; By poverty increase your ftore; The happy foul that's truly wife, Can richer grow by being poor: To melt in love, to fink in fhame, This be my wifh, be that my flame. 4 Give me a fympathizing foul, i

To bear thy fuff'rings on my heart,
Thy pain and agonizing toil,
-Nor let me from this vifion part;
Then fhall I heartily rejoice,
And raise to thee my grateful voice.

All earthly objects now give way,
Nature and creature both refign;

On thee by faith myself I'll stay,

And tafte the pow'r of love divine; Redemption in thy blood is found, My anchor's caft on facred ground.

NOW may the Spirit's holy fire,
Defcending from above,

His waiting family infpire

With joy, and peace, and love!

2 Thee we the Comforter confefs;
Unless thou'rt present here,
Our fongs of praise are vain addrefs,
Wę utter heartless pray'r.

2 'Wake, heav'nly Wind, arife, and come, Blow on the drooping field;

Our spices then fhall breathe perfume,
And fragrant incenfe yield.

Touch with a living coal the lip
That fhall proclaim thy word;
And bid each awful hearer keep
Attention to the LORD.

Haften the reftitution-day,

Which now corruption fhrouds;

y New heav'ns and new earth difplay, With JESUS in the clouds.

Once more his bleffing afk;

Hoard up the precious treasure there,
And never with it part.

To each thy blessing suit;
And let the feed thy fervant fows
Produce a plenteous fruit.

And all the garden grow.
