5 Behold him rising from the grave;
Behold him rais'd on high:
He pleads his merits there to save
Transgressors doom'd to die.
6 There on a glorious throne, he reigns,
And by his power divine
Redeems us from the slavish chains
Of Satan, and of sin.
7 Thence shall the Lord to judgment come,
And, with a sovereign voice,
Shall call, and break up every tomb,
While waking saints rejoice.
8 O may I then with joy appear
Before the Judge's face,
And, with the blest assembly there,
Sing his redeeming grace!
Song 4.
_Praise for Mercies Spiritual and Temporal_.
1 Whene'er I take my walks abroad,
How many poor I see?
What shall I render to my God
For all his gifts to me?
2 Not more than others I deserve,
Yet God hath given me more;
For I have food, while others starve,
Or beg from door to door.
3 How many children in the street
Half naked I behold?
While I am clothed from head to feet,
And cover'd from the cold.
4 While some poor wretches scarce can tell
Where they may lay their head,
I have a home wherein to dwell,
And rest upon my bed.
5 While others early learn to swear,
And curse, and lie, and steal,
Lord, I am taught thy name to fear,
And do thy holy will.
