CCCV. The Stability of the divine Foundation, and its double Inscription.

TO Thee, great Architect on high,
Immortal Thanks be paid,
Who, to support thy sinking Saints,
This firm Foundation laid.

Fix'd on a Rock thy Gospel stands,
And braves the Rage of Hell;
And, while the Saviour's Hand protects,
His Blood cements it well.

Here will I build my final Hope;
Here rest my weaty Soul;
Majestick shall the Fabrick rise,
Till Glory crown the whole.

Deep on my Heart, All-gracious LORD,
Engrave its double Seal;
Which, while it speaks thy honour'd Name,
Its sacred Use may tell.

Dear by a thousand tender Bonds
Thy Saints to Thee are known;
And, conscious what a Name they bear,
Iniquity they shun.
