Whom we every where may find; Chiefly in the means enjoin'd, With his gracious fulness given, Jesus lifts our souls to heaven. "If thou shalt indeed do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to thine enemies." Exod. xxiii. 22. What thou hast spoke I have not done; Yet Jesus takes the sinner's part, With me, in thy beloved Son, Well pleas'd, and reconcil'd thou art: My God in Christ the sinner's friend, Thou wilt my sure defender be, Wilt with my stronger foes contend, And more than conquer all for me. "Let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them." Exod. xxxii. 10. Let me alone (amazing word) Th' Almighty to his creature cries! His creature binds th' Almighty Lord, And will not let his anger rise: Page 52 Jehovah must the rebels spare, While Moses doth for mercy groan: Jehovah hears, in Moses' prayer, The pleading Spirit of his Son. "Nevertheless in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them." Exod. xxxii. 34. But canst thou not the whole remit, Nor ever visit for my sin? See the poor leper at thy feet, Exert thy power to make me clean, Chase by a touch my guilt away, And take me from the evil day. "I beseech thee, shew me thy glory." Exod. xxxiii. 18. Father, shew to me thy glory, Prostrate at thy gracious throne, Make thy goodness pass before me, All thy goodness, in thy Son. By thy purifying presence All my guilt and sin remove, Speak it to mine inmost essence Christ is God, and God is love. "The Lord descended in the cloud, and proclaimed the name of the Lord." Exod. xxxiv. 5. Great God, to me the sight afford To him of old allow'd, And let my faith behold its Lord Descending in the cloud: In that revealing Spirit come down, Thine attributes proclaim, And to mine inmost soul make known The glories of thy name. "The Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, the Lord God." Exod. xxxiv. 6. Jehovah-El, I thee adore, Who gav'st my soul to be, Fountain of being, and of power, And great in majesty;
