And bring down bleffings from above; And ev'ry time we here adore,

Supply our wants, from mercy's ftore..

2 May all that to thefe courts repair,
Behold the glories of thy face-
Be joyful in thy houfe of pray'r,
And be replenish'd with thy grace!
And may the pard'ning love of God
Within their hearts be fhed abroad.

3 When finners come to hear thy word,
May it fink deep into their hearts,
And, by its quick'ning pow'r reftor'd,
Enjoy the life Chrift's death imparts!
Repent, and flee from future wrath,
And lay fast hold on Chrift by faith.

4 May thofe that groan for liberty

Their fupplications here prefent, And find enlargement, Lord in thee, Deliver'd from their banishment! And then with heart-felt pleasure tread The paths that to falvation lead."

ND will the great eternal God On earth establish his abode ? And will he, from his radiant throne, Avow our churches for his own?

2 Thefe, walls we to thine honour raise-
Long may they echo with thy praife;
And thou, defcending, fill the place,
With richest tokens of thy grace.

Here let the great Redeemer reign-
Here let the Lamb for finners flain,
Transform our hearts by dying love,
And fet them upon things above.

4 Awake, all-conqu'ring arm, awake,
And hell's extenfive empire shake;
Swift let thy quick'ning Spirit breathe
On our dead fouls that we may live.

5 Thine energetic pow'r difplay-
Produce a nation in a day;
For, at thy word, this barren earth
Shall travail with a genʼral birth.

LORD, our languid fouls infpire,
For here, we truft, thou art-
Send down a coal of heav'nly fire,
To warm each frozen heart.

2 Great Mafter of assemblies, hear!
Thy prefence now display:
As thou haft giv'n a place for pray'r,
So give us hearts to pray.

3. Within these walls, let holy peace,
And love, and concord dwell;

Here give the troubled confcience ease-
The wounded fpirit heal.

4 The feeling heart, the melting eye,
The humble mind bestow;
And shine upon us from on high,
To make our graces grow.

5. May we in faith receive thy word—
In faith prefent-our-pray'rs;
And, in the presence of our Lord,
Unbofom all our cares.

6 Oh, may the gofpel's joyful found,
(Enforc'd by mighty grace)
Awaken many finners round,
To praise thee in this place..
