Thirdly, Not to do it coldly, but with a heart inflamed with sense of it, that I live, I have, I do, I am what I am: Oh 'tis Grace. So that now if the Lord shall come and ask you, what will you say if I'll deliver you from all misery, subdue all sins, pass by all wrong, hear all Prayers, do all good to thee, do much good by thee, love thee every moment, give a Kingdom when thy work is done to thee, and my self better than all? say, Lord I can never recompense this, I shall be I hope the more vile in my own eyes for ever, and give all to Grace. Oh sing that Song, or get that Song by heart now, for Rev. 7. 10. there is a Song, Salvation to the Lamb, which none else could sing. This is our work, and a great work indeed.
