Repair, O lost Souls, Repair to the Lord Jesus Christ, as your only Lord-Redeemer. Child of Wrath; Make thy Supplications to the Lord JESUS CHRIST. Let the Lord Jesus Christ, hear from thee in those Terms; Psal 69 18 Oh, Draw nigh unto my Soul, and Redeem it. And make thy Resignations to the Lord JESUS CHRIST. Let the Lord Jesus Christ hear from thee also in those Terms; Psal. 31. 5. Into thy Hand I commit my Spirit, thou hast Redeemed me, O Lord God of Truth. In short; Accept the Redemption of the Lord Jesus ⟨p. 175⟩Christ; and Humbly Declare thy Acceptance of it. Would you come at the Blessedness, of calling, My Redeemer? why, the way is to call Him so. Do but Receive a Redeemer willing to be thine, and thou shalt Enjoy Him. Say, with a conquered Heart, Lord, I perish, if thou be not my Redeemer; I cry to thee, I hope in thee, for all the Redemption, which a miserable Sinner does want! Let thy voice to the Lord Jesus Christ, be that; Psal 26. 11 Lord, Redeem me, and be merciful unto me. Then, Then the voice of the Lord Jesus Christ unto thee, will be that; Isa. 43. 1. Fear not, for I have Redeemed thee.
II. And, O ye Redeemed of the Lord, now Take the Satisfaction and Consolation, of being able to say, I Know that my Redeemer Lives! It was better than a Thousand Cordials unto our Father Jacob when that Intelligence was brought unto him; Gen. 45. 26. Joseph is yet alive, and he is Governor over all the Land of Egypt. Good News then, Good News, for you O ye Redeemed of the Lord; JESUS CHRIST is yet Alive, and He is yet your Lord Redeemer!
