Page 93 E'en in these dregs of time make known Thy truth and mercy in thy Son; O call his precious death to mind, That ransom paid for all mankind, Thine anger with our sins remove, And shew the world thy pard'ning love. "In wrath remember mercy." Hab. iii. 2. Thine anger at what I have done, O Father, I mournfully bear, But look to thine innocent Son, Who ever intreats thee to spare! Be mindful of Jesus, and me: Thy mercy he suffer'd to buy, And what he procur'd on the tree, For me he demands in the sky. "The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places." Hab. iii. 19. My strength when thou, O Jesus, art, My soul tho' halt and lame, Runs swiftly, as the bounding hart, Exulting in thy name; Beyond the reach of sin, above The world, I then ascend, Walk in the mount of holiest love, And talk with God my friend! Page 94 Hymn 1389. "Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment, seek righteousness, seek meekness." Zeph. ii. 3. Ye that do your Master's will, Meek in heart, be meeker still, Righteous, still yourselves confess Seekers after righteousness; Gracious souls, in grace abound, Seek the Lord whom ye have found, Follow on, nor slack your pace, 'Till ye see his glorious face. "It may be, ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord's anger." Zeph. ii. 3. Warn'd of that vindictive day, You who now your Lord obey, To your dear Redeemer true, Shall he not distinguish you? Yes; he can, he will redeem Every soul that looks to him, Hide, who on his truth rely, Under, or above the sky. "All the isles of the heathen shall worship him." Zeph. ii. 11. The precious promise made to all, For Britain's isle we claim; O that we on thy name may call, And magnify thy name! Page 95 Preserve a people in our land To make thy goodness known, And worship, while the world shall stand, The glorious Three in One. "Wait upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey, c." Zeph. iii. 8.
