Repentance is wrought in my Soul,
And Faith for to believe;
Whereby on Jesus I do roul,
And truly him receive.

Him always to obey;
And in all things o're me to reign,
And govern night and day.

My Soul is brought to Jesus feet,
In owning his Commands.

Those Ordinances men oppose,
And count as carnal things;
I have clos'd with, and tell't to those,
From them rare comfort springs.

My precious Lord I must obey,
Though men reproach me still;
I'le do whatever Christ doth say,
and yield unto his will.

On Christ alone I do rely,
Though men judge otherwise;
Because I can't Gods Truth deny,
I am reproach'd with lyes.

Let them deride, yet for Christ's sake
Resolved now am I,
In his own strength the Cross to take,
Yea, and for him to dy.

Before I'le ever turn my back
On him whom I do love;

Whatever Men or Devils do
In secret place design,
He soon can them quite overthrow,
And help this Soul of mine.

The Resurrection of the Dead
I constantly maintain;
When all those which lie buried,
Shall rise to life again.

And that the Judgment day will come,
When Christ upon the Throne
Shall pass a black Eternal Doom,
Upon each Wicked one.

But all the Saints then joyfully
With Bowels he'l embrace,
And Crowns to all Eternity
Upon their Heads he'l place,

Upon their Heads he'l place,
And in the Kingdom shall they reign,
Prepared long before,
And also shall with Christ remain,
In bliss for evermore.
