's by thy grace that I intend To turn to thee again It 's Thy free grace that must amend My conversation vain The will the worke is all of Thee My Sp'ritual thoughts each one Then Crown this worke begun in me And send Salvation 23. But now I see the Day appeare The Morning-Starre arise The Sun of Righteousness draws near fair Phoebus from the Skies O Shine upon my silly Soul With warming beams of light On Thee my burden I do roll O Glorious King of might FINIS SONG III. THE PILGRIMS PANACEA OR BALME OF GILEAD Holding forth 1. the Restauration or Redemption of lost mankinde how it was Decreed and gradually revealed until the Nativity of Our blessed SAVIOVR 2. Of CHRIST'S Nativity His matchless Person His divine and humane Natures His All-sufficiency to save with ane Introduction to His Offices 1. THough Satan Death and Hell conspire To throw me in Tartarean fire Yet some of Adams wretched race Rescu'd shall be by Gods free grace 2. Before the Earth foundation took It written was in Heav'ns Book Eternal and a firme decree In Council of the Trinity 3. That Christ Jehovah's only Son Should be a living Corner-stone In him were some Elect to be Choice vessels to Eternity 4. Did that Immense Eternal God In light who hath a firme abode One Essence in blest Trinity Three Persons in that Unity 5. Who from none else do'th seek supply For in him all perfections be My good to Him doth not extend For why his glory hath none end 6. Did that great Jove my bliss contrive Me wretched worme to keep alive To keep me from Eternal fire When Hellish powers did conspire 7. How shall poor I then thankful prove For this great mercie this free Love My Soul shall all her powers bend Him to extol World without end 8. To Adam this was first reveal'd When to tentation He did yield He trembling run himselfe to hide Gods presence He could not abide 9. When guilty of Apostacy By tasteing the forbidden Tree Horrour of conscience did him fright Ill-doers always shun the light 10. God frowns good Angels do forsake The Heav'n is shut th'Infernal-lake Is ready to receive and so Nothing remains but wrath and wo. 11. But He whose opportunity Is wretches great extremity He who dispenses every lot Is found of them that sought Him not 12. He calls for Adam of free Grace And Preach't to Him a blessed peace Come Adam thou hast greatly sinn'd Yet with me thou may'st mercie find 13. Afflictions sharp thou must endure But thy Salvation shall be sure I shall thee send a Blessed Seed And He shall bruise the Serpents head 14. This is the Covenant of Grace Which brings my Soul so sweet solace There is a gracious paction Betwixt the Father and the Son 15. And by the Son with Adams race Who should repent and seek his grace The Son unto the Father spake I will Man's nature on me take 16. I will my selfe a ransome give For the Elect that they may live Come Son quoth He if thou do so They shall be safe from Hell and wo. 17. The Father to poor man he saith If thou beleeve with saving Faith In this my Son I 'll give thee peace Eternal Love shall thee embrace 18. The Lord did promise ev'n the same To Faithful father Abraham That in His seed all should be blest And get from Him Eternal rest 19. This promise grows more full and clear Till that the full time did draw near So that Messiah's time and place The Prophets told Israels race 20. This blessed Seed who glorious is P'raefigur'd was by Sacrifice By Types and Shadows many one Ev'n to His Incarnation 21. This Seed is that Messias great Eternal God without all date Hence doth my drouping Soul yet Live For He Salvation will me give 22. His Birth his Life His Death and all His acts and sufferings great and small Are Balsam for my bleeding would In Him alone Salvation's found 23. I 'll now my meditation raise For this the Angels doth amaze I 'll soar on Contemplations wings Admiring these Celestial things 24. O how great sweetness JESU LORD Thy very Names my Soul afford For JESUS that 's a Saviour sure To give my Soul a Soveraign cure 25. CHRIST that 's the chiefe Anointed one To him a parallel is none Not with that Oile material Prescrib'd by Law Levitical 26. But with the Sp'rit above all measure Hence is my life my Joy my treasure Transcendent gifts I know right well He hath my Soul to keep from Hell 27. O joyful tydings do I heare At Bethlehem in a Heav'nly quire The Angels sing and shout for joy When Christ was born that blessed Boy 28. To GOD be glory peace on Earth Good will to men O Blessed birth Go Shepherds go and leave your Tent This day to you a Saviour's sent 29. To Bethlehem run and Him behold Of whom the Prophets have fortold Yee shall the great Messiah see In whom all Nations blessed be 30. The wonder first for to begin A Man is born free of sin The like was not since Adam's fall This cleanses sin Original 31. Another thing I do admire That GOD Eternal comes so neare My nature fraile he did assume This keeps me from a dismal doome 32. If GOD and Man none can so well GOD and lost Man kind reconcile This Theanthropos only can Make peace for sinful wretched Man 33. If God he cannot but prevail If Man my Brother will not fail To plead for me that haynous crimes May not condemn in judging times 34. By Sin though I be quite undone And ther 's no help below the Moon Yet Jesus Christ he can me save Who rose Triumphing from the grave 35. Though I be full of putrid sores My sinful nature good abhorres Yet Christ is that Physician sure His Panacea will me cure 36. I 'm Dead in sin I cannot move Nor speak or think of things above But He 'll come in with quickning grace And will afford my Soul Solace 37. Though wrath and curse I doe deserve For many wayes that I did swerve Yet Christ the curse did bear for me And nail'd my sins unto a Tree 38. Though I deserve Infernal pains Nothing in me but sin remains His painful death shall me relieve He did for me a ransome give 39. Though I deserve eternal shame For gross profaning of His name His ignominy and disgrace Keeps me from a confounded face 40. Like Starres my sins in number be Or like the drops of Ocean-Sea Yet do His mercies farr transcend In number for they have no end 41. Even crimson-red by sin am I My sins are of a
double dye But Christ will make me white as Snow Me to exalt he came below 42. For us poor sinners for our sakes Three offices He undertakes Then joyfully I 'll say and sing He is my Prophet Priest and King FINIS SONG IV. THE HOLY TRIPLICITY OR A Description of CHRISTS THREE Office with the devout Souls Triumphing-Song upon the consideration of CHRISTS All-sufficiency and Expectation of perfect Redemption by him To the Tune of the New Blackbird SECTION FIRST 1. I 'M not an Astrologue to gaze on the Skies To talk much of Trigons and Triplicities Nor with great Pythogre With some superstition Ascribing much virtue to Numbers condition Yet clearly I see Without any lye A Mystery wrapped in seven and in three 2. Three Persons there are in Essence divine Of Angelic orders thrice three that is nine Twice three the Creation-dayes did compleet GOD then did all finish he found to be meet Four threes are the twelve Tribes in Israel So were the Apostles in truth that excell 3. So CHRIST our Redeemer by offices three He purchas'd Salvation for me and for thee He 's King and a Priest a Prophet divine So brings he the Elect in Glory to shine His own He rescues His foes He subdues Though Furies Infernal their forces combine 4. Our woful defects they call for the three We r blind and we know not how saved to be Estranged from GOD and Children of wrath Unable to purchase a freedom from death By Prophet we see By Priest we draw nigh King JESUS gives strength to GOD we may fly 5. All these our defects they call for supply Which JESUs my LORD vouchsafes unto me I 'm blind and I cannot the way well descry But CHRIST is the Prophet to teach me the way His Spirit and word Shall help me afford From darkness to light I 'm led by my LORD 6. My sins make a distance between me and GOD For in his right path I have not abode His stroke is still ready to kill and destroy To damp all my comforts my peace and my Joy But CHRIST will with ease The Father appease As Priest he 'll get pardon and comfort will raise 7. As Man He 's the Sacrifice debt for to pay For all out trespasses on Him we do lay He 's Altar to sanctiby the Sacrifice As GOD to inrich it and give it a price As both GOD and Man He 's Priest for He can Plead offer and Pray and so favour win 8. His Kingdom He enters with Scepter and Sword His Elect He conquers by Spirit and Word By His Holy Laws He Governs them All His Power protects them what e'r can befall Their foes He shall fright With terrour and might And Crowns all His Saints with Glory most bright 9. The order of saving the offices clears For first He explains it and then He acquires And after applyes what purchase He wan So comes there much comfort to comfortles Man As Prophet declares As Priest full of cares As King He applyes it and keepeth from tears SECTION II. The Souls Triumphing-Song over all Enemies upon the consideration of CHRIST'S All-sufficiency and the expectation of that perfect Redemption and Glory purchased by Him 1. I Will then inferiour comforts forsake My choice above all things Great JESUS I 'll make Though Satan should fret and fortune should froun I do not much value when CHRIST is my own In Sickness and Health In want and in wealth I will seeke my JESUS till He give a Crown 2. And though all the World against me conspire And though all the Elements Water and Fire The Earth and the Aire and what ever more Though Men should massacre Lyons should roare Though Universe round Turn upside that 's Down Yet JESUS can conquer and give me a Crown 3. His Love is transcendent His power is great Admitting no crossing affliction or lett He 's faithful in promise and alters no words What wisdom contriveth His power affords On these I rely Until that I dye And then sing His praises to eternity 4. Pale Death with his terrours me cannot affright Nor yet the red Dragon with power and might Sin is their advantage and guilt is their sting But that is removed by JESUS our King Then conquering I Hosanna I 'll cry And sound out all praises to JESUS on high 5. When death me dissolveth glad tidings I hear Though friends they forsake me the Angels draw Transporting my Soul to Mansions above near Then all things below me but vanities prove My Joy and my rest Then find I at last For CHRIST I enjoy then of all things the best 6. And when the great day of Judgment appeares Which brings to the guilty and Godles their fears I 'll be at his right hand with gladness of heart When sinners receive ane eternal depart Hee 'll say unto me I chosen have thee And now with my Servants thou blessed shalt be 7. The Starres doe bespangle the Heaven as gemms Which GOD doth number and call by their Names This is but a payement to that Paradice Where CHRIST he resideth that Pearle of price Be humble therefore Admire and adore Let all thy aspiring be after this glore 8. With Abram and Isaac I 'll set me then down My cross is exchang'd with a glorious Crown No hunger no thrist no sickness appears For CHRIST from my eyes hath wiped all tears With Angels I dwell In light that excell But CHRIST I enjoy and He 's All in All. 9. My Joy is so full I seek not for more Of riches and honours I have so great store Nor can I be robbed no change do I feare My riches they rust not nor garments do weare For ever and ay They do not decay But last to Eternity O happy day 10. My exercise is to adore and to sing Sweet songs of high praises to JESUS my King The more I doe praise more reason I find For this finit vessel cannot comprehend The glory that 's there That 's free of all feare Come quickly LORD JESU and cause me draw near 11. Then on my Redeemer I 'll sweetly rely With comfort reposing untill that I dye Disclaiming denying the World and all I 'll give no repulses when He gives a call And for every thing I 'll joyfully sing A high Hallelujah to JESUS my King FINIS The BLESSED BETHLEHEMITE THE FONTAIN OF LIFE OR CHRISTS EXCELLENCY Containing a farther description of the blessed Messiah the LORD JESVS CHRIST in his Types Titles Attributes c.
