Page 61 "I will set my tabernacle among you." Lev. xxvi. 11. Father, let thy faithfulness And love in Christ appear, The true tabernacle place Among thy people here, Jesus to thy church reveal Delighted with an humble shrine, Give him in our hearts to dwell The Shechinah divine. "I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people." Lev. xxvi. 12. Walking in the church below The garden of the Lord, Jesus, by thy presence shew Our paradise restor'd: Grant us fellowship with thee, Our God in all our souls reside, Then we shall thy people be For ever sanctify'd. "I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright." Lev. xxvi. 13. Lord, if thou from me hast broke The power of outward sin, Burst this Babylonish yoke, And make me free within; Bid mine inbred sin depart, And I thine utmost word shall prove, Upright both in life and heart, And perfected in love. "If they then accept of the punishment, then will I remember my covenant." Lev. xxvi. 41, 42. Father, I do at last relent, My length of painful punishment I do as just receive; Think of the covenant in thy Son, And O! Forget what I have done, And all my sins forgive. Page 62 Hymn 199. "The stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death." Num. i. 51. But all may now to God draw nigh, Spiritual priests of the Most-High, May holy altars raise, Offer their hearts, with Jesus there, In grateful sacrificial prayer, And sweet perfumes of praise. "The Lord bless thee and keep thee." Num. vi. 24. Come, Father, Son, and Holy-Ghost, One God in Persons Three, Bring back the heavenly blessing, lost By all mankind, and me: Thy favour, and thy nature too To me, to all restore, Forgive, and after God renew, And keep us evermore. "The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee." Num. vi. 25. Eternal Sun of righteousness, Display thy beams divine, And cause the glory of thy face Upon my heart to shine;
