And curfes Satan's yoke;
Great Hindrances and chains appear,
Not easy to be broke:
But Grace, free Grace, most sweetly

From his Side's Well to drink.

May active, holy, faithful prove;
But more especially,

That we in Thee may still abide,
For Babes we are most weak,
Poor finners ftill, who without thee,
Can nought act, think or speak.
7. O give us more, more ev'ry day,
'Till we're quite funk in Grace,
To drink, ftill drink! for fince thou'st

And we believe, and humbly truft,
This thirft the fame will be,
Where'er we live, where'er we range,
Through all eternity.

8. Be for all this, Husband of fouls!
Here and in Heav'n ador'd:
How great is all thy Faithfulness,
Antient and late, O Lord!
'Tis Grace each day fo feeds our fouls;
Grace keeps us inly poor;
And O! that nothing else but Grace,
May rule for evermore.
