Thy Love, thy ranſoming, and Heaven,
all jointly thou doſt give,
And whoſoever hates his Sin	1 John 4. 16
and ſets his Love on thee,
May be aſſur'd thou lov'dſt him firſt,
and for his Life didſt die.
Now, Lord, thou knowſ I hate my sin,
and ſeek to have it ſlain:
Thou that knoweſt all, knowſt I thee love	John 11. 17.
and feels it not in vain.
Then Lord, my Love thou wilt allow
that I apply thy Death:	Gal. 2. 20.
And by that Means perſwaded reft,	Pſal. 116.
to be exeem'd from Wrath.	17.
And well I wot the Ranſom is
ſufficient enough
Me to redeem from Hell, and imp
me in thee as thy bough.
For me thou emptied thy ſelf,	Rom. 4. 5.
and flood in Father's Law:
For me thou emptied thy ſelf,	Phil. 2. 7.
and ſtood in Father's aw.
For me thou took on thee the Curſe,	Gal. 3. 24.
and felt thy Father's Wrath:
For me oft plunged was thy Soul	Mat. 29. 33
and heavy to the Death.
For which I ſinfully did laugh,
thou mourn'd and wept full fore:
For pleaſure taken in my Sin,
through Grief oft didſt thou roar.
For mine ill words thou ſilenc'd was,
and knew not what to ſay:
For mine ill deeds thou, Lord, was bound	Mark 27.
condemn'd and led away.
