~AXTER'S PO~MS J:63 Not needles~ trifling arts, or rites; But how fallen man [may be] restor'd. How sav'd fro~n sin and misery, In [endless J life may see the Lord. DIVINE love is man's blessedness: Lost lov~ · must be [by love J repair'd • Christ came to draw man's love to God, By God's grea~ [ wond'rous J .love decla1~ 'd. He lov'd his enemies more than life: Suffer'_d [1·eproaclt],· died on a cross, A sacrifice to God for sin, [Reviv'd] and on the third day rose. He seal'd and sent the law of grace : [On earth]. he forty days abode ; Promis'd to send the Holy Ghost, [And t!ten ]' ascended up to Go~. Heav'n is the place of blessedness, In Heav'n [it's meet] our head must be ; There his great glorious kingdom is1 [And there] his glory we must see. Head over all things to his church [In Heav'n] .he reigns at God's right hand : Our great high priest, teacher , and king, [ Tlte wodd] all is at his command. W01·ship him, all ye glorious .hosts ; Praise him , ye [holy J angeIs all ; Praise him his church throughout the earth ; His foe3 before him [down sltall] fall. K
