True Christian Love
| I hear thee ſay, Man's due is Death, | |
| I'll do thy Will, O Lord. | |
| My Soul and Body both for theirs | |
| let ſuffer I accord. | Pſal. 4. 8. |
| I hear my Father's Voice from Heaven | |
| cry, lovely Son art thou: | Mat: 3. 17 |
| Theſe all, and this (and that was I) | |
| are thine, I'm pleaſed now. | |
| I hear him ſay to all, and me, | |
| go hear my Son, and live. | |
| He drew I came, they welcom'd me | |
| and Lite, I feel, doſt give. | |
| Now take me with thee where thou wilt | |
| for we muſt never ſhed. | Pſal. 61. 1. |
| In Faith my Soul is glew'd to thee, | |
| lead me as blind are led. | |
| Croſs Satan's Teeth, if our Way ly, | |
| and croſs each other ſo: | |
| To Prieſts, to bench, to Golgotha. | |
| lead me, and I will go. | Mat. 27. 33. |
| But lead, and leave me not, or elſe | |
| I cannot miſs to fall: | |
| If thou do hold me in thy Hand, | |
| I fear no Foe at all. | |
| Thy Combats makes me not amaz'd | |
| for what could make me wo; | Rom. 8. 31. |
| Thy Victory my conflict makes | Mat. 8. 31. |
| to be with vanquiſht ſo. | |
| Thy going to the Wilderneſs | Mat. 4. 1. |
| brings me to Saints City: | |
| Thy fighting all alone, makes me | |
| fight in thy Company. | |
| Thy being tempted fourty Days, | Mat. 4. 1. |
| all my Days makes me ſure. |
