Classic Poem

A God there is, a God of boundless Might,
In Wisdom, Justice, Goodness, Infinite.
God is but One and yet in Persons Three.
The Father, Son , and Spirit , One God we see.
Our God, by His Great Name JEHOVAH known,
HE the World Made, and Keeps, and Rules Alone.
To Glorify the Glorious God , is That
For which He did all men, and me Create.
God a Just Rule doth in our Bible give,
A Rule, both what to Think , and how to Live .
Holy & Happy our First Parents came
From Gods Hand, with Gods Image in our Frame.
Tasting Forbidden Fruit our Parents fell;
This Taste has plung'd Mankind all down to Hell .
Our Blest Lord JESUS CHRIST, in our Distress,
Comes to fetch us from Hell to Blessedness .
Into his Person, the Bright Son of God ,
A Virgins Son took; There He makes Abode .
Life as a Priest CHRIST will His People bring,
Light as a Prophet, & Law as a King.
For us our Surety Liv'd, for us he Dy'd,
And Rising did to Heaven in Triumph Ride.
By Faith to Christ we for Salvation go;
Faith too, as well as That must He bestow.
For Sin will the Renew'd Believer Mourn ,
And from all Sin , he'l by Repentance Turn .
Sinners receiving of Gods Pardon , they
Gods Precept will, made Saints , with Love Obey.
All Homage we must yield unto the Lord ;
In all directed, by His Heavenly Word .
His Works and Names, we may not use in Vain;
Nor by our Works thereon His Days Profane.
With Honours due we must our Neighbours treat;
And sweetly wish them Lives both Long & Sweet .
With Chastity we must our selves Behave;
And do no Wrong in what we Get or Save.
Truth we must utter, & abhor to Lye;
And be Content, tho' in Adversity.
Them who to be in CHRIST, thro' Grace , Consent,
God brings into His Gracious Covenant .
The Baptism of the Lord , assures that we
Both Wash'd from Sin , & Rais'd from Death , shall be.
To See the Lord, we at His Table Sitt,
And Show, that we shall in His Kingdom Eat.
Gods Children His good Promises Enjoy:
And Good comes of what Ill may them annoy.
His Angels He to them does Guardians make,
And these their Souls , at their Departure take.
To Judge the World, CHRIST will descend at Last;
A Righteous Doom shall by that Judge be past.
The Wicked shall bear bitter Pain and Shame ,
With Wicked Spirits in Eternal Flame.
The Godly shall, with their Great GOD, on High,
Reap Joyes , High Joyes , to all Eternity.
