When the great God His Spirit pours
Judgment attends in flaming showers.
To plague the disobedient race,
And vindicate His slighted grace.

His wrath He with His love reveals,
The vessels of destruction fills.
The bold despisers of His word,
And pleads His cause with fire and swc
2381. Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord t &c.—. w

In this Divine epitome,
Father, we Thy goodness see,
Who kindly dost declare,
The way through which to heaven w e
And all our duty here below
Summ'd up ill faith and prayer.

Father, the promised bliss I claim,
Thee invoke in Jesus' name;
For Jesus' sake forgive,
Save me from sin, and earth, and hell,
Stamp with Thy hallowing Spirit's seal,
And to Thy throne receive.
