XII. The Proclamation of GOD'S Name to Moses, or divine Mercy and Justice.

ATTEND, my Soul, the Voice divine,
And mark what beaming Glories shine
Around thy condescending GOD!
To us, to us, he still proclaims
His awful, his endearing Names:
Attend, and sound them all abroad.

"JEHOVAH I, the sov'reign Lord,
"The mighty GOD, by Heav'n ador'd,
"Down to the Earth my Footsteps bend:
"My Heart the tend'rest Pity knows,
"Goodness full-streaming overflows,
"And Grace and Truth shall never End.

"My Patience long can Crimes endure;
"My pard'ning Love is ever sure,
"When penitential Sorrow mourns;
"To Millions thro' unnumber'd Years,
"New Hope and new Delight it bears;
"Yet Wrath against the Sinner burns."

Make Haste, my Soul, the Vision meet,
All prostrate at thy Sov'reign's Feet,
And drink the tuneful Accents in;
Speak on, my Lord; repeat the Voice;
Diffuse these Heart-expanding Joys,
Till Heav'n compleat the rapt'rous Scene.
