Page 33 "They shall all know me." Jer. xxxi. 34. Essence incomprehensible, Jehovah, who can know, Who was, and is, and comes to dwell With all his saints below! Then the whole world shall be restor'd And bow to Jesu's name, Fill'd with the knowledge of the Lord, The infinite I AM. "They shall all know me from the least unto the greatest." Jer. xxxi. 34. Not from the greatest to the least The saving word shall move, The poor are chosen first, and blest With thine enriching love: Now let thy knowledge upwards spread, 'Till all their Lord embrace, Thro' faith from sin forever freed, Forever sav'd by grace. "I will remember their sin no more." Jer. xxxi. 34. But long as I my sins repeat, My sins thou never canst forget, But while I persevere in ill, My crimes thou must remember still; Lord, that thy promise may take place, Evil out of my heart erase; I then shall in thy grace abide, Fully, forever justified. "I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever." Jer. xxxii. 39. No, they cry, it cannot be! Christians never will agree! All the world thy word deny, Yet we on the truth rely, Sure, in that appointed day, Thou wilt give us all one way, Page 34 Shew us each to other join'd, One in heart, and one in mind. Hasten then the general peace, Bid thy people's discord cease, All united in thy name, Let us think, and speak the same: Then the world shall know and own God himself hath made us one, Thee their Lord with us embrace, Sing thine everlasting praise. "I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me." Jer. xxxii. 40. That covenant of eternal grace When wilt thou make with me? My heart I open to embrace The God of purity: Now let me feel thy Spirit brought in, And when in me thou art, Feel it impossible to sin, Impossible to part.
