CCCXXVIII. James's Advice to Sinners.

YE Sinners, bend your stubborn Necks
Beneath the Yoke divine;
In low Submission bow ye down
Before his sacred Shrine.

In pious Streams your Follies mourn,
And seek his injur'd Grace;
And wait with broken bleeding Hearts
The Op'nings of his Face.

Resist the Tempter's fierce Attacks,
And he shall speed his Flight:
Draw near to GOD, and his Embrace
Shall fold you with Delight.

Ye Sinners, cleanse your spotted Hands,
And purge your Hearts from Sin;
Here fix your long-divided Views,
And Peace shall reign within.

Blest Saviour, draw us by thy Love,
And fix us by thy Pow'r;
When we have felt these sweet Constraints,
Our Souls shall rove no more.
