The Columbian Miscellany: Containing a Variety of Important, Instructive ...

The Mediator shall no more complain,
That he hath labor'd, spoke, or died in vain,
The travail of his soul with joy shall see,

And satisfied eternally shall be,

The TRUMPET of the JUBILEE shall sound;
Jesus shall be with endless glory crown'd;
And through the great JEHOVAH'S wide domain,
Not one shall rise against his glorious reign;
But all from sin and death, and bondage free,

Shall praise his name to all eternity.
When all are thus obedient to his call,
Christ will resign, and God be ALL IN ALL.
Here stop my soul: no further seek to go,
What God reveals is quite enough to know.

E. W.

The Triumphs of Hell shall make way, and bes come the foundation for the Triumphs of Grate.

And there shall be no more curse.

Dr. HUNTER.

REVELATIONS.

Stain'd as I am by sin unclean,
Heal, heal me thus defil'd-
Ah! will not Grace the more be seen?
LORD! am I not tay child?

Let there be no more curse in me;
Begin my heaven below;
Eternal Love I long to see

Near-neaver-even now.

O'tis too much for flesh and blood!
Moses-thy type-declar'd:
O'tis enough that thou art good;
Return till I'm prepar'd.

Events are in thy hands alone;
Content-I'll wait resign'd.
Unbounded goodness fills thy throne-
Reflect it through my mind!

So, as a river many a shore,
Enriches in its course;

And runs into the sea to pour
New tribute to its source.

Honor-if honor thou'lt bestow,
I'll render back as thine-

Should Troubles fill my cup with woe,
Still Hope should not repine.

Each time thy servants to thine house
Repair, with them I'd meet :
Venture with them to pay my vows,
And share their heav'nly treat.
Nor would I feed on bread alone,
Though hallow'd bread I prize,
Symbols most sacred can't atone,
Sublimer sense must rise.

Him must I see, and hear-and taste,
And handle, and admire;
Love and enjoy-who, when embrac'd,
Leaves more and more desire.

TO IMMANUEL.

Soul of my soul !-Bone as my bone,
Endure me thus to call;

Rise thou and shine!- shine on thy throne,
Victorious over all,

Earth! hear your Sov'reign's gracious voice
Hear, heaven!-Proclaim your King;
IMMANUEL reigns!-And thus, my choice!-
MESSIAH!-Thee I sing.

WHO ever purchases this Book, will do at the same time, two laudable deeds: He will not only furnish himself and family (if he has one) with a useful store of Divine Knowledge, and "Moral Instruction; but he will also cast in his mite, to assist the EDITOR, who hath brought himself and family into disagreeable circumstances, by striving to be beneficial to mankind.
