HYMN 37. The voice of the Turtle heard in our Land.
1 Thy precious Blood was shed, O Lord, my soul to purge from Sin; Which purchased Grace my soul to change, when shall this work begin:
1 THy precious Blood was shed, O Lord, my soul to purge from Sin; Which purchas'd Grace my soul to change, when shall this work begin:
2 In sinners hearts, O now impart, that Grace that they may sing: O own thy word, most holy Lord, our God, and gracious King!
3 The harmless Turtle's pleasant voice is heard, Lord, in this place; Let Fig-trees put forth their green Figs, young Converts deck with Grace.
4 Arouse! the Summer will soon pass, your day of grace will end; O come to Christ, whilst he doth call, and does his love commend!
