The Second Part.
1 Thy Word it quickens and revives, Like Fire it does cheer; It consolates and makes such warm Who to it do draw near:
1 Thy Word it quickens and revives, Like Fire it does chear; It consolates and makes such warm Who to it do draw near:
2 For they who to it will not come, No profit can receive; So such who do reject thy Word, Their Souls shall not live.
3 Fire will penetrate and pierce, There is no secret place Within the Soul, but thy Word will Most quick and swiftly pass.
4 It doth the very Thoughts discern, Nay it divides between The Soul and Spirit of a Man, To sever both from sin.
