HAW

AWKSTONE! thy Beauties please the Eye,
And charm the thinking Mind;

Thy Scenes proclaim Heav'n's Pow'r most nigh,
In them the LORD we find.

From his bleft Influence fure They are,
Out-Births of Heav'n difplay'd;
And manifeft HIS GLORY HERE,
In pleafing Forms array'd.

Delightful Forms! when we can fee
They're Heaven's grand Produce;
And were intended HERE to be
For Man's peculiar Ufe.

Which Ufe, if we do not neglect,
Our Obfervation's bleft,
Because in it we have respect

To Our Eternal Reft.

What bleft Inftruction here have we
From ev'ry Plant and Flow'r!
Speaking aloud, In Us You fee
Your great Creator's Pow'r.

From Us You may much Wisdom learn,
If You are fo inclin'd;
And now Your Hearts fincerely turn
To GOD, who forms the Mind.

To HIM who doth, by various Things,
In outward Nature preach;

And to our Hearts Inftruation brings,
And doth Them fweetly teach:
B 2

Doth

Doth teach Us, by his Works fublime,

Leffons of greatest Use,

And which, if we improve, in Time

Will lafting Good produce.

At least, they will have this Effe&,
We're left without Excufe;
Unless in Them we have Refpe&t
To their intended Ufe.

Which was, that we might clearly fee
GOD's own eternal Pow'r,
And know that it is only He,

Who makes the Plant and Flow'r.

From Whom Alone we live and move,
And have Our Being bleft;
And Whom We always ought to love,
And in His Love to rest.

Whofe Providence is over All,

And doth our Wants fupply;
And when on HIM We humbly call,
We know He is moft nigh.

Moft nigh He is to all on Earth,
As well as all in Heav'n:

For all, from HIM, receiv'd their Birth,
From HIM their Life is giv'n.

The Heav'n's declare His bleft Abode,

The Earth His Works doth show; Above He is the Angel's GOD,

As well as Man's below.

In both He mo confpicuous fhines,
Makes known his Godhead's Pow'r;
To bless Them Both alike inclines,
On each His Love doth fhow'r.

He is our great Creator, kind,
And our Redeemer too;
Regenerator of our Mind,

As Heav'nly Light doth fhow.

He is the only GOD of Love,
Who waits to make All, bleft;
In His Cœleftial Courts Above,
Where true Believers reft.

In fhort, He is the All in All

To Those who love His Ways;
And Such as on HIM truly call,
In Heav'n fhall fee His Face.

In Heav'n fhall join the Angel's Song
Of Mofes and the LAMB;

And praife, with Them, in Heart and Tongue
JESUS, the great I AM.

Seek Ye first the Kingdom of GOD and it's Righteousness, and all Things shall be added unto You. Matt. VI. 33.

The Earth is the LORD's, and the Fulnefs thereof; the World, and they that dwell therein.

Who fhall afcend into the Hill of the LORD? and who fhall ftand in his holy Place?

He that hath clean Hands, and a pure Heart; who hath not lift up his Soul unto Vanity, nor fworn deceitfully. He fhall receive the Bleffing from the LORD, and Righteousness from the GOD of his Salvation.

Pfa. XXIV. 1. 3. 4. 5.

All thy Works praife Thee, O LORD. In Wif dom haft thou made them all. Pla. CIV. 24.

How admirable are thy Works, O LORD! How excellent the Operations of thy Hands! Eastern Songs.

Range where You pleafe,

In Water, Earth and Air,
GOD is in every Thing,
And every where.

I'm ftruck with fomething new;
And do behold, with fresh Surprize,
Each Scene I'm led to view.

Extenfive Profpects Here we fee,
Moft Noble and profufe;
Adorn'd with fweet VARIETY,
Which endlefs Charms produce.

Hills, Rocks, and Vales thefe Scenes adora,
Their various Beauties fhew;

And in a bright, unclouded Morn,

Twelve Counties hence We view,
