In Jesus is our store, Grace issues from his throne; Whoever says, "I want no more," Confesses he has none. LXIII. NOT OF WORKS. GRACE, triumphant in the throne, your Works of man, when made his plea, Never shall accepted be; Fruits of pride (vain-glorious worm!) Are the best he can perform. Self, the god his soul adores, But when God the Judge shall come, Το pronounce the final doom, Then for rocks and hills to hide Still the boasting heart replies, LXIV. PRAISE FOR FAITH. Of all the gifts thine hand bestows, Not heaven itself a richer knows Faith too, the blood-receiving grace, Till thou thy teaching power apply, Shut out the view of thee. Blind to the merits of thy Son, What misery we endure! Yet fly that hand from which alone We could expect a cure. We praise thee, and would praise thee more, To thee our all we owe; The precious Saviour, and the power That makes him precious too. LXV. GRACE AND PROVIDENCE. ALMIGHTY King! whose wondrous hand Supports the weight of sea and land, Whose grace is such a boundless store, No heart shall break that sighs for more. Thy providence supplies my food, My streams of outward comfort came Whate'er I want his bounty gives, By whom my soul for ever lives. Either his hand preserves from pain, From Satan's malice shields my breast, Forgive the song that falls so low LXVI. I WILL PRAISE THE LORD AT ALL TIMES. WINTER has a joy for me, While the Saviour's charms I read, Hark! the turtle's plaintive song Seems to speak his dying groans! Summer has a thousand charms, What! has autumn left to say Light appears with early dawn, See his bleeding beauties drawn On the blushes of the skies. Evening with a silent pace, FRAGMENT OF A HYMN. To Jesus, the Crown of my Hope, O bear me, ye cherubims, up, And waft me away to his throne! My Saviour, whom absent I love, All glory, dominion, and power. 66 TRANSLATIONS FROM THE FRENCH OF MADAME DE LA MOTHE GUION. THE NATIVITY.
