My Resignation. [From Heb 11. 17. with Gen. 22. 12.]

THe Dearest Lord of Heaven gave Himself an Offering once for me: The Dearest Thing on Earth I have, Now, Lord, I'll offer unto Thee.

I see my best Enjoyments here, Are Loans, and Flow'rs, and Vanities; E're well Enjoy'd they disappear: Vain Smoke, they prick and leave our Eyes.

But I Believe, O Glorious Lord, That when I seem to Lose these Toyes, What's Lost will fully be Restor'd In Glory, with Eternal Joyes.

I do Believe, That I and mine, Shall come to Everlasting Rest; Because, Blest Jesus, we are Thine, And with thy Promises are Blest.

I do Believe, That ev'ry Bird Of mine, which to the Ground shall fall, Does fall at thy kind Will and Word; Nor I, nor It, is hurt at all.

Now my Believing Soul does Hear This among the Glad Angels told; I know, thou dost thy Maker Fear, From whom thou nothing dost withhold!
