BOOK I.
ISAIAH.
113

4 Bless d inhabitants of Zion,
Wash d in the Redeemer s blood !
Jesus, whom their souls relj on,
Makes them kings and priests to God ;
Tis his love his people raises
Over self to reign as kings,
And as priests his solemn praises
Each for a thank-off ring brings.

5 Saviour, if of Z ion s city
I through grace a member am,
Let the world deride or pity
I will glory in thy name :
Fading is the worldling s pleasure,
All his boasted pomp and show ;
Solid joys and lasting treasure
None but Zion s children know.

61.
Look unto me, and be ye saved.—Isa. xlv, 22.

 
1 As the serpent raised by Moses
Heal d the burning serpent s bite,
Jesus thus himself discloses
To the wounded sinner s sight :
Hear his gracious invitation,
" I have life and peace to give,
I have wrought out full salvation ;
Sinner, look to me and live.

2 " Pore upon your sins no longer,
Well I know their mighty guilt ;
But my love than death is stronger,
I my blood have freely spilt:
Though your heart has long been harden d,
Look on me it soft shall grow ;
Past transgressions shall be pardon d,
And I ll wash you white as snow.

3 " I have seen what you were doing,
Though you little thought of me ;
You were madly bent on ruin,
But I said It shall not be :
