When I do this begin to apprehend	A
My heart my soul and mind begins to bend	A
	-
To God ward and sincerely for to love	B
His son his ways his people and to move	C
	-
With brokenness of spirit after him	D
Who broken was and killed for my sin	E
	-
Now is mine heart grown holy now it cleaves	F
To Jesus Christ my Lord and now it leaves	F
	-
Those ways that wicked be it mourns because	G
It can conform no more unto the laws	G
	-
Of God who loved me when I was vile	H
And of sweet Jesus who did reconcile	H
	-
Me unto justice by his precious blood	I
When no way else was left to do me good	J
	-
If you would know how this can operate	K
Thus on the soul I shall to you relate	K
	-
A little farther what my soul hath seen	L
Since I have with the Lord acquainted been	E
	-
The word of grace when it doth rightly seize	M
The spirit of a man and so at ease	M
	-
Doth set the soul the Spirit of the Lord	N
Doth then with might accompany the word	O
	-
In which it sets forth Christ as crucified	P
And by that means the Father pacified	P
	-
With such a wretch was thou and by this sight	Q
Thy guilt is in the first place put to flight	Q
	-
For thus the Spirit doth expostulate	Q
Behold how God doth now communicate	Q
	-
By changing of the person grace to thee	R
A sinner but to Christ great misery	R
	-
Though he the just one was and so could not	Q
Deserve this punishment behold then what	Q
	-
The love of God is how 'tis manifest	Q
And where the reason lies that thou art blest	Q
	-
This doctrine being spoken to the heart	Q
Which also is made yield to every part	Q
	-
Thereof it doth the same with sweetness fill	S
And so doth sins and wickednesses kill	S
	-
For when the love of God is thus reveal'd	Q
And thy poor drooping spirit thereby seal'd	Q
	-
And when thy heart as dry ground drinks this in	E
Unto the roots thereof which nourish sin	E
	-
It smites them as the worm did Jonah's gourd	Q
And makes them dwindle of their own accord	Q
	-
And die away instead of which there springs	T
Up life and love and other holy things	T
	-
Besides the Holy Spirit now is come	U
And takes possession of thee as its home	V
	-
By which a war maintained always is	W
Against the old man and the deeds of his	W
	-
When God at first upon mount Sinai spake	X
He made his very servant Moses quake	X
	-
But when he heard the law the second time	Y
His heart was comforted his face did shine	Z
	-
What was the reason of this difference	A2
Seeing no change was in the ordinance	A2
	-
Although a change was in the manner when	B2
The second time he gave it unto men	B2
	-
At first 'twas given in severity	R
In thunder blackness darkness tempest high	C2
	-
In fiery flames it was delivered	Q
This struck both Moses and the host as dead	Q
	-
But Moses when he went into the mount	Q
The second time upon the same account	Q
	-
No fear nor dread nor shaking of his mind	Q
Do we in all the holy Scripture find	Q
	-
But rather in his spirit he had rest	Q
And look'd upon himself as greatly blest	Q
	-
He was put in the rock he heard the name	D2
Which on the mount the Lord did thus proclaim	D2
	-
The Lord merciful gracious and more	E2
Long suffering and keeping up in store	E2
	-
Mercy for thousands pardoning these things	T
Iniquity transgressions and sins	F2
	-
And holding guilty none but such as still	S
Refuse forgiveness of rebellious will	S
	-
This proclamation better pleased him	D
Than all the thunder and the light'ning	G2
	-
Which shook the mount this rid him of his fear	H2
This made him bend make haste and worship there	I2
	-
Jehoshaphat when he was sore opprest	Q
By Amnon and by Moab and the rest	Q
	-
Of them that sought his life no rest he found	Q
Until a word of faith became a ground	Q
	-
To stay himself upon O then they fell	J2
His very song became their passing bell	J2
	-
Then holiness of heart a consequence	A2
Of faith in Christ is for it flows from thence	K2
	-
The love of Christ in truth constraineth us	L2
Of love sincerely to make judgment thus	L2
	-
He for us died that for ever we	R
Might die to sin and Christ his servants be	R
	-
O nothing's like to the remembrance	A2
Of what it is to have deliverance	A2
	-
From death and hell which is of due our right	Q
Nothing I say like this to work delight	Q
	-
In holy things this like live honey runs	M2
And needs no pressing out of honey combs	N2
