One only gift can justify The boasting soul that knows his God, When Jesus doth his blood apply, I glory in his sprinkled blood, The Lord my righteousness I praise, I triumph in the love divine, The wisdom, wealth, and strength of grace, In Christ, thro' endless ages mine. Page 17 "O Lord, correct me but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing." Jer. x. 24. Father, if thou must reprove For all that I have done, Not in anger, but in love Chastise thine humbled son; Use the rod, and not the sword, Correct with kind severity, Bring me not to nothing, Lord, But bring me home to thee. "Pour out thy fury upon the families that call not on thy name." Jer. x. 25. Tremble, ye families prophane, Where the great God is not ador'd, Who take the name of Christ in vain, But do not invocate your Lord; Regardless of his smile or frown, Ye pull his heaviest judgments down. Before the threatned curse takes place, And sweeps your prayerless souls to hell, Daily unite t' implore his grace, Invite him in your tents to dwell, Let every house his worship shew, And every heart his presence know. "Give glory to the Lord your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness." Jer. xiii. 16. Give glory to your God and Lord, By casting all your sins away, Warn'd by his Spirit and his word, Sinners, repent, believe, obey, Before he chase you from his sight, And cover with Egyptian night.
