Page 100 Satan, and the world shall fly, 'Till bound, and vanquish'd by thy power, Feeble sin shall faint, and die, And fall to rise no more. "Observe all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever." Deut. xii. 28. Teach me, O God, thy will to do, To love myself aright, My real interest to pursue By walking in thy sight: Walking in all the ways divine, O may I thus insure A blessing, Lord, on me and mine, Which always shall endure. "Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God." Deut. xviii. 13. I shall (when he who saith I shall, Hath with himself bestow'd Sufficient strength to walk in all The righteous ways of God) I shall attain my heart's desire, And serve like those above, Compleat in his whole will, intire And perfect in his love. "I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee." Deut. xviii. 18. Father, thou hast rais'd him up, That prophet of the Lord, Every heart's desire and hope, Thine own eternal Word: In our feeble flesh array'd We own the filial deity, Jesus like his brethren made, To make us all like thee.
