Still sounded in my ear. 3. Then to the law I trembling fled, Itpour'd its curses on my head, I no relief could find ; This fearful truth 1 found remain, The smner must be born again, O'ervvhelm'd my troubled mind. 4. Again did Sinai s thunder loll, ^nd guilt lay iieavy on my soul, A vast unwieldy load , Alas ! I read and found it plain, The sinner must be born again, Or drink the wrath of God. 5.

Sweet is tlie mem'ry of the dead, While sleeping on his dusty hed, His l)ody sleeps in silence, where No glimni'ring sun can enter there. 2. O ye, who heard his voice below. And woiidei'd why he labor'd so, Why he should preach till he was spent. And then give up without consent. 3. Daughters of Zion, now draw near. And hear his dying speech with fear — "Have 1 (lone all ? have I got through, And iiuish'd what I had to do ? 4. Another life could I live o'er, And range the world from shore to shore, I'd wear this mortal body down, To gain a never fading crown.' 5. I saw this faithful herald fallj 1 saw him burst the prison wall. And trac'd him when he took his 'flight, To dwell among the saints in light. 6. I saw him round the city wall ; 20 HYMN 15. I heard the mighty angel call, "Come in," cried he, '' the war is o'er," And then I saw his face no more. HYMN 15. P.M. Come and taste along with me The weary pilgrim's consolation ; Boundless mercy running free, The earnest of complete salvation., Joy and peace in Christ I find, My heart to him is all resign'd, The fullness of his power I prove, And all my soul's dissolved in love, Jesus is the pilgrim's portion, Love is boundless as the ocean. 2. When the world and flesh would rise, And strive to draw me from my Saviour, Strangers slight, or foes despise, I then more highly prize his favor. Friends, believe me, when I tell, If Christ is present, all is well. The world and flesh in vain would rise, I all their efforts do despise ; In the world I've tribulation. But in Christ sweet consolation. 3. When I'm in the house of prayer, I find him in the congregation ; Music sweet unto my ear Is the sound of free salvation. My heart exults, my spirits flow, I love my God and brethren so ; 3 join and sing, and showt aloud^ And disregard the gazing crowd, •Glorious tiieme of exultation, Jesus Christ ie my salvation ! 4. Worldlings hold me in disdain, Because I slight their carnal pleasure-; All in this that gives me pain. Is, they slight a noble treasure. But among them, bless the Lord, The;?e'6 some that trembk at his word, And thie doth joy to me impart, To think the Lord has reach'd their heart, ^^3 the praise to G-od be given, -l*eace on earth and crowns in heaveri. •5. Why shoiild ,{ regard the frowns [me ? Of those who mock, deride and slight Soon ni lie beneath the ground, Beyond the reach of those who hate me. Toil and pain and sufF'rings o'er, 3 '11 gain the blissful happy shore ; And with the shining host above, ■ni sing aad shout vredeeming love, Pleasures there beyond expression, ■Ever fiow in sweet succession.

With arms extended to receive you ; See ! he spreads his bleedinrf hands, Come, venture on him, he'll relieve you. Cast oil your doubts and fears, aside. The door of mercy's open wide. The fountain flows that saves from sin, Come, now believe, and enter in ; ^ Don't dititrust your blessed Saviour, Now believe, and live forever. 8. Sinners, you may mock and scorn. Your moments lost will be lamented ; That awful' day is hastening on, When you will wish you had repented ; Death, in its embraces cold, Will soon your mortal bodies hold, Your pleasures then will take their fliglit, And down you'll sink to endless night- While you're of that guilty number. Your damnation doth not slumber. 9. Come, poor sinners, go with me, My heart s enlarg 'd to receive you ; Slight not mercy offer'd free. Venture on him. he'll rel eve you; But if you offer'd grace refuse, HYMN 16. 23 And still the way of folly chooge, Unhappy souls, your guilt and blood Will rest on your jlefeneeless heads ; Darkness, torment, pain and sorrow, May be your's before to-morrow.

His standard's unfuri'd, see it wave thro' the air, And volunteers coming from far ofTand near ; Now's the time, brother sailor, no longer delay, Emba'rk now with Jesus, good wages he'll payj 7. The bounty he'il give when the voyage doth begin Is justificatfon and freedom from sin ; Good usage b^'ll give, while we sail on the way. And shortly you'll anchor in heaven'a broad bay. 102 HYMN 72, 73. -8. In the harbor of glory forever you'll ride, Free from quicksands and dangers and sin's rapid tide ; Waves of death cease to roll, and tempests are o'er; The hoarse hreath of boreas dismasts thee no irfbrc. 9. Thy tarpawling jacket no longer you'll wear, But robes of bright glory all shining and fair; A crown on thy head that would dazzle the sun, And from glory to glory eternally run. HYMN 72^ P. M. Bless God; O my soul, rejoice in his name, And let my glad voice his greatness proclaim — Surpassing in honor, dominion and might. Thy throne is the heaven, thy robe is the light. 2. The sky we behold, a curtain display'd, Tliy cliambers of heaven on waters are laid, The clouds are a chariot thy glory to bear, * On wings thou art wafted, thou ridest on air. 3. As rapid as fire, thy angels on high Convey thy commands, thy ministers fly; The earth on its basis eternal sustain'd, Is fix'd in the station thy wisdom ordain'd. 4. The world when at first of chaos compos'cl, Was void, without foim, and in water enclos'd; Thy voice, how majestici in thunder was heard, The water subsided! the mountains appeared! HYMN 73. P. M. The blessed Jesus, loving Saviour, He has cali'd on me to go ; In the vineyard I must labor, Or on me must come the wo. Farewell, dear friends and loving neigh- The gospel trumpet I must blow, [bors, And sound salvation to poor sinners, Or on me must come the wo. [harvest, 2. Say not four months, then comes the HYMN 73. 103 Tho fields are white, the harvest near, He that reaps receiveth wages, As from scripture doth appear. Tlifen for my Jesus I will travel, O'er mountains high and vallies low ; To seek a bride for my dear Master, For the word to me is, go. 3. O hark, poor sinner, will you hear me? Will you have my Christ or no ? To you my errand is directed, Will you with my Saviour go ? Say, poor sinners, will you hear me ? Will you have my Christ or no ? The blessed Jesua now invites you, Now he calls on you to go. 4. O come, poor mourners, who feel wounded, Tho' your sins like mountains rise, Let your hopes on Christ be founded, Prepare to meet him in the skies. If your sins appear like crimson, . He'll wash your souls as white as snow; O come, dear sinner, to the Saviour, Come, aud feel the pardon flow. 5. O come, backsliders, who have wan^ dered, [house, Come home, come home to father's Return, ye restless, wand''ring children, Come home, come home and pay your For the fatted calf is killed, [vows, All things are ready now I know, 104 HYMN 74. Wine on the lees and well refined, So farewell wanderers, I must go. 6. Ye little lambs of my Redeem er, Ye who feed on pastures green. Follow, follow Christ your leader, Ever let your light be seen. Ever mind and love each other, Shun the path that leads to wo, And travel on the way together — So farewell, brethren, I must go. HYMN 74. P. M. Hark/ brethren, don't you hear the sound^ The martial trumpets now are blowing, Men in order listing round, And soldiers to the standard flowing, JBounties offer'd joy and peace To every soldier this is given, And when from toil and war we cea?e A mansion bright, preparM in heaven. 2. Those who long in debt have laid, And felt the hand of dire oppression, All their debts are freely paid, And they endowed with large possession, Those that's sick, or blind or lame — Maladies are also healed, Outl^wM rebels, when they come, Receive a pardon freely seal'd. > 3. The battle is not to the strong ; The burden's on the Captain's shoulder^ HYMN 75. 105 None so aged or so young But lie may Mist and be a soldier. Those who cannot fight nor fly, Beneath his banner find protection ; None who on his name rely, Shall be reduc'd to base subjection. 4. Ye need not fear, the cause is good, Come, wiio will 'list and be a soldier? In this cause the martyrs bled, And shouted victory in the fire. In this way let's follow on, And soon we'll tell the pleasing story How through Christ we've gain'd the crown, And fought our way thro' grace to glory. 5. The battle, brethren, is begun, Behold the army's now in motion ; Some by faith behold the crowfi, And almost grasp their future portion. Shout the victory, sing aloud; I Immanuel's chariot wheels are rumbling ; Mourners weeping through the crowd, And Satan's kingdom down is tumbling. HYMN 75. P.. M. Bright scenes of glory strike my sense, And all my passions capture ; Eternal beauty round me shines, Infusing warmest rapture ; I dive in oceans deep and full, That swell in waves of glory ; 106 HYMN 75. I feel my Saviour in ray soul, And loi'g to tell the story. 2. I feast on honey, milk and wine— I drink perpetual sweetness ; Mount Zion yields her rich perfumes While Christ unfolds his greatness. No mortal tongue can tell my joy, Nor can an angel show them ! ' • Ten thousand times suipassing all Terrestrial worlds or emblems ! 3. My footsteps trace the pleasant mead And myrtle fields adorn ; ' While groves of epice my noon-day ^hadci; And spreads a richer grandeur. The chaurrt of seraphs lift my soul Till caught with heavenlyjfire ; And dying love tome unfolds. Which tunes my heart the higner. 4. My captivated spirit flies Through worlds of shining beauty / Dissolved in love, to heaven I cry In praises loud and mighty : I'll here eternal notes employ In songs of rapturous praises, O'erwhelming all my powers with joy, While all within me gazes / 5. Then earth and sea shall be no more. And all their glory perish ; When sun and moon shall cease to ehine. And stars at midnight languish. HYMN 76. 107 My joy refinM shall higher shine — Mount heaven's radiant glory, And tell through one eternal day, Love's all immortal stor3^ HYMN 76. P. M. If ever pity movM thee, Thou glorious Son of righteousness, If ever saints have prov'd thee A sure relief is sore distress, O breathe thy loving spirit, Thyself to me, O Christ, impart, And bring me to inherit Thy kingdom form'd within my heart. 2. By sa* an oft deceiv'd Drawn from the path of righteousness; Thy spirit oft I've griev'd, And brought upon me sore distress But as thy great compassion Extends to all the lallen race, In faith, [ for salvation, [grace. Will humbly look through sov' reign 3. Here like repentant Peter, My tears I shed, I make my moan, Pity thy faitMess creature. Dear Lord, and break my heart of stone. Accept of my petition, 1 hy pardon to my soul reveal, Thou great, thou good physician, Hear, and my wounded spirit heal, ^4. AH glory to the Savioilr, 108 HYNN 77. Who shed for me his precious blood, I feel I'm in his favor. That I am his, and he's my God; And as I've much forgiven, Much while on earth, O may I love, And find my way to heaven, And join the blood-wash'd throng above 5. There through the starry regions, To sound aloud redeeming grace, And with celestial legions To sing of my Creator's praise ; Forever free from sadness. To sing and shout forevermore, Where all is joy and gladness. On that eternal happy shore. HYMN 77. P. M. Now begins the heavenly theme, Sing aloud in Jesus' name ; Ye who Jesus' goodness prove, Triumph in redeeming love. 2. Ye who see the Father's grace, Beaming in the Saviour's face, While to Canaan on ye move, Bless and praise redeeming love. 3. Mo>urning souls dry up your tears, Banish all your guilty fears, See your guilt and curse remov'd, Cancel'd by redeeming love. 4. You, alas ! who long have been i HYMN 78. . 109 Willing slaves to death and sin, Now from bliss no longer rove, Stop and taste redeeming love. 5. Welcome all by sinoppress'd, Welcome to a s acrid rest; . Nothing brought him from above, Nothing but redeeming love, 6. He subdu'd th' infernal pow'rs. His tremendous foe and ours. To their cursed empire drove. Mighty in redeeming love. 7. Hither then yoiir music bring, Strike aloud each joyful string -, Mortals join the hosts above ; Join to praise redeeming love. HYMN 78. P. M. Jesus at thy command, I launch into the deep, And leave my n wither, Let not all our hopes be vain. 5. Let our mutual love be fervent. Make us prevalent in pray'rs ; Let each one, esteera'd thy servant, Shun the world's bewitching snares^ Break the tempter's fatal pow'r. Turn the stony heart to flesh; And begin from this good hour. To revive thy work afresh. HYMN 80. P. M. The Beggar's Prayer. Encourag'd by thy word Of promise to the poor, Behold a beggar, Lord, Waits at thy mercy's door ; No hand, no heart, dear Lord, but thine Can help or pity wants like mine. 2. The beggar's usual plea, Relief from men to gain, If offer' d unto thee, I know thou would'st disdain ; [ear. But those which move thy gracious Are such as men would scorn to hear. 3. I have no right to say, That though I now am poor. Yet once there was a ^y, HYMN 80. 113 When I possessed more, Thou knowest from my very biith I've been the poorest wretch on earth. 4. Nor dare I to profess, As beggars often do, Though great is my distress, My faults have been but few ; If thou shouldst leave my soul to starve, It would be what I should deserve. 5. Nor dare I to pretend I never begg'd before. And if thou now befriend, I'll trouble thee no more ; Thou often hast releiv'd my pain, * And often I must come again. 6. Though crumbs are much too good For such a wretch as I, No less than children's food My soul can satisfy ; do not frown and bid me go, 1 must have all thou can'st bestow. 7. Nor can I willing be Thy bounties to conceal From others, who like me Their wants and hunger feel; I'll tell them of thy mercy's store, And try to send a thousand more. 8. Thy ways, thou only wise. 114 HYMN 81. Our thoughts and ways transcend, Far as the arched skies Ahove this earth extend. [hear, Such pleas as ntine men would not But God receives a heggar's prayer. HYMN 81. P. M. The Complainer. I set myself against the Lord, Despised his spirit and his word; And wish'd to take his place ; It vext me S0,that I must die, And perish too, eternally, Or else be sav'd by grace. 2. Of every preacher I'd complain ; One spoke thro' pride and one for gain, Another's learning small ; One spoke too fast, and one too slow ; One pray'd too loud, and one too low, Another had no call. 3. Some walk too straight, to make a show, While others far too crooked go ; And both of these I scorn. Some odd fantastic motions make ; Some stoop too low, some stand too straight, No one is faultless born. 4. With no professor I could join ; HYMN 82. 115 Some dress'd to mean, and some too And some would talk too long ; [fine. Some had a tone, some had no gift, Some talk'd too slow, and some too And all of them were wrong, [swift; 5 I thought they'd better keep at home Than to exhort where'er they come, And tell us of their joys: They'd better keep their gardens free From weeds than to examine me, And vex me with their noise. 6. Kindred and neighbors too are bad. And no true friend is to be had; My rulers are too vile. At length kind heaven gave me to see. The fault did mostly lie in me, And had done all the while. 7. Now I can hear a child proclaim The joyful news, and praise the name Of Jesus Christ, my King ; I know no sect— the saints are one — With my complaints I now have done, And God's free grace I sing. HYMN 82. P. M. Throughout the Saviour's Ufe we trace, Nothing but shame and deep disgrace, No period else was seen, 116 HYMN 82. Till he a spotless victim fell, Tasting in soul a painful hell, Caus'd by the creature's sin. 2. On the cold ground methinks I see My Jesus kneel and pray for me. For I his I him adore : Seiz'd with a chilly sweat throughout, Blood-drops did force their passage out Through every opening pore. 2. A crown of thorns his temples bore. His back with lashes all was tore, This he endur'd for me : Mocking they push'd him here and there. Marking his way with blood and tear : Press'd by the heavy tree. 4. Thus up the hill he painful came, Round him they mock'd and made all At length his cross they rear, [game : And can you hear the ?on of God Cry out beneath his heavy load, Without one thankful tear ? 5. Thus veiled in humanity. He dies in anguish on the tree : What tongue his grief can tell ? The shudd'nng rocks their heads recline, The morning sun refus'd to shine. When the Redeemer fell. 6. Shout brethren, shoutwith songs divine, He drank the gall to give us wine To quench our parching thirst : HYMN S3. • 117 Seraphs, advance your voices higher, Bride of the Lamb unite the choir And laud the precious Christ. HYMN 83. P. M. Destruction's dangerous road What multitudes pursue / While that vi'hich leads the soul to God Is known or sought by few. 2. B^ievers enter in By Christ the living gate: But they who will not leave their sin Complain it is too straight. 3. If self must be denied And sin forsaken quite, [wide, They'd rather choose the road that's And strive to think it right. 4. Encomnass'd by a throng. On numbers they depend, So many surely can't be wrong. And miss a happy end. 5. But numbers are no mark That men will right be found ; For few were sav'd in Noah's ark And many millions drown'd. 6. . Obey the gospel call, And enter while you may ; The flock of Christ was always small, And none are safe butthey. 7. Lord, open sinmers' eyes; Their awful state to see ; 118 HYMN 84. And make them, e'er the storm arise, To thee for safety flee. HYMN 84. P. M. Friends parting. Our souls by love together knit, Cemented, mix't in one. One hope, one heart, one mind, one 'Tis heaven on earth begun; [voice. Our hearts have burn'd while Jesus And glow'd with sacred fire; [spoke. He stop'd and talk'd, and fed, and bless'd, And fiU'd th' enlarg'd desire. CHORUS. Jl Saviour let creation sing, *B. Saviour let all heaven ring; He's God with us, loejeel him ours. His fullness in our souls he pours, ' Tis almost done, His almost o'er, We're joining them who're gone before We soon shall meet to part no more. 2. We're soldiers fighting for our God, Let trembling cov/ards fly; We'll stand unshaken, firm and fix'd With Christ to live and die; Let devils rage and hell assail, We'll cut our passage through. HYMN 89. 119 Let foes unite and friends all fail, We'll seize the crown in view, A Saviour let, ^c. 3. The little cloud increases still. The heavens are big with rain; We haste to catch the teeming show'r And all its moisture drain; A rill, a stream, a torrent flows, But pour the mighty flood; O sweep the nations, shake the earth, Till all proclaim thee, God, A Saviour let, ^-c. 4. And when thou mak'st thy jewels up And set'st thy starry crown, [shine, When all thy sparkling* gems shall Proclaim' d by thee thine own; May we, a little band of love, We sinners sav'd by grace. From glory into glory chang'd, Behold thee face to face. A Saviour let, ^^c. HYMN 85. P. M. Invitation. Wandering pilgrims, mourning christians, Weak and tempted lambs of Christ ; Who endure great tribulation, Seeking for your souls a rest — Christ hath sent me to invite you 150 HYMN 85. To a rich and costly feast ; Let not shame nor pride prevent you ; Come, the rich provision taste. 2. If you have a heart lamenting, And bemoan your wretched case, Come to Jesus Christ repenting. He will give you sweet release. With your hearts believing on him, Love and serve him all your days ; Come, O come to Christ and ask him, He will give you gospel grace. 3. If your heart is unbelieving. Doubting Jesus' pardoning love, Lay hard by Bethesda waiting. Til the troubled waters move ; Though no mortal arm can save you. All their efforts prove but talk, Jesus, Jesus saith unto you, Arise, take up your bed and walk. 4. If you will but claim his promise And forsake your unbelief, Patient waiting, constant praying, He will send you sweet relief ; He will give you grace and glory. All your wants shall be supplied ; Canaan, Canaan lies before you, Rise and cross the swelling tide. 5. Death shall not impede your comfort, Christ will guide us thro' the gloom, Down he'll send a heavenly consort HYMN 86. 121 To convey our spirits home ; Phere with him we'll reign in pleasure, Free from every want and care ; Come, O come, my blessed Saviour, Fain my spirit would be there. HYMN 86. C. M. [n evil long I took delight, Unaw'd by shame or fear, rill a new object struck my sight, And stopp'd my wild career. 2. I saw one hanging on a tree. In agonies of blood ; He fix'd his languid eyes on me, As near his cross I stood. 3. Sure never till my latest breath, Shall I forget that look ; Fie seem'd to charge me with his death, Though not a word he spoke. 4. My conscience felt and own'd the guilt, And plung'd me in despair ; I saw my sins his blood had spilt. And help'd to nail him there. 5. Alas ! I knew not what 1 did. But now my tears are vain ; Where shall my trembling soul be hid, For I the Lord have slain. 6. A second look he gave, which said, I freely all forgive ; This blood is for thy ransom paid ; I died that thou may'st live. 122 HYMN 87. 7* With pleasing grief and mournful joy, My spirits now were fill d ; That I should such a life destroy, Yet live by him I kill'd. HYMN 87. C. M. The glorious day is drawing nigh, When Zion's light shall come ; She shall arise and shine on high, Bright as the morning sun. The north and south their sons resign. And earth's strong pillars bend ; Adorn'd as a bride, Jerusalem, All glorious shall descend. 2. The King that bears the golden crown, The azure flaming bow ; The holy city shall bring down To bless his saints below. When Zion's bleeding conqu'ring King Shall sin and death destroy ; The morning stars together sing. And Zion shout for joy. 3. The holy bright musician band Shall tune their harps of gold. With palms of vict'ry they shall stand, Fair Salem to behold ! Descending with such melting strains,. Jehovah's name adore ; Such notes thro' earth's extensive plains,. Were never heard before ! 4. Let satan rage and boast no more,. HYMN 88. 123 Ye fiends af darkness fly ; Tho' saints are feeble, weak and poor, Their great Redeemer's nigb. He is their shield, their hiding place, A covert from the wind — A shady rock of boundless grace, Throughout this weary land, 5- The crystal streams run down from They issue from the throne, [heav'n^. The floods of strife away are driven, The church becomes but one, That peaceful union she shall know, And live upon his love ; And shout and sing of grace below, I As angels do above ! HYMN 88, P. M. The old Israelites knew what it was they must do. If fair Canaan they would possess, They must still keep in sight of the pillar of light. Which led on to the promised rest. 2» The camps on the road could not be their abode, But as oft as the trumpet should blow, ■' They all glad of a chance of a further advance, Must then take up their baggage and go. 3. I am thankful indeed for the heavenly head, Which before me hath hitherto gone; For that pillar of love which doth onward still move, And doth gatner our souls into one. 4. Now thecross bearing throng are advancing along>. And a closer communion doth flow. Now all who would stand on the promised land, Let them take up their crosses and go. 5. The way is all new, as it opens to view, And behind is a foaming red sea; 124 HYMN 88. So none now need to speak cf the oniona and leeks, Or talk about garlicks to me. 6. My mind's in pursuit, I must have the good fruit, Which on Canaan's rich val!ies doth grow, Although millions of foes should rise up and oppose, 1 will take up my crosses and go. 7. What tho' some in the rear preach up terror & fear, And complain of the trials they meet ,• Though the giants before with great fury do roar, I'm resolved I will never retreat. 8. We are little, 'tis true, and our numbers are few, And the sons of old Anak are tall ; But while I see a track I will never give back, But go on at the risk of my all. 9. Though while scatter'd around in this wildernes« With good manna awhile we've been fed; [grpund, This will not always do, we must rise and go thro'. Till we feed on the heavenly bread. lO.Now the morning doth dawn for the camps to move And the priests with their trumpets do blow, [on, As the priests give the sound, and the trumpets re- All my soul is exulting to go. [sound 11. On Jordan's nearside lean never abide, For no place here of refuge I see, Till I come to the spot, and inherit the lot Which the Lord God will give unto me. 12. Vow 'tis union I seek with the pure and the meek, So an end to all discord and strife ; Since I have fix'd mine eyes on the heavenly prize, I will go, at the risk of my life. 13. If 1 am faithful and true, and my journey pursue, Till I stand on the heavenly shore, I shall joyfully see what a blessing to me, Was the mortifying cross which 1 bore. 14. Since these losses are gain, I will never complain, But so Jong as I am able to move, With the resolute few I'm resolv'd to go through, Till I reach the fair Canaan above. HYMN 89, 90. 125 15. All my honors and wealth, all my pleasures and I am willing should now be at stake, [health. If my Christ I obtain, 1 shall think it great gaia For the sacrifice which I shall make. 16. When I all have forsook, like a bubble 'twill look, From the midst of a glorified throng, Where alJ losses are gam, where each sorrow & pain, Are Exchanged for the conqueror's song. HYMN 89, P. M. Hither ye faithful, haste with songs of triumph, To Bethlehem go, the Lord of life to meet.- To you this day is born a Prince and Saviour, O come and let us worship at his feet. 2. O Jesus ! for such wonderous condescension, Our piiiise and reverence are an offering mete: Now is the word made flesli that dwells among us, O come and let us worship at his feet. 3. Shout his almighty name, ye choirs of angels, Let the celestial courts his praise repeat ; Unto our God be glory in the highest, O come and let us worship at his feet. HYMN 90. P. M. Shout aloud, O ye angels, In glory's bright rays; Who wait on King Jesus, His glory to praise. "V'e thousands of thousands, Ascribing your songs, To Jesus whom praises And power belongs. 2. Shout aloud saints in glory, The Saviour's high praise j Who on Jesus's glory, Eternally gaze. 126 HYMN 90. He's worthy of honor.

The thunder while roaring, Is showing his voice ; And showers descending, Make vallies rejoice : 128 HYMN 90. The mountains in standing, Do show forth his power. And waters are shouting, . From shore unto shore. IQf The birds sing his praises, Which fly in the air ; The rose and the lilly, His, beauties declare ; The fish in the ocean. He makes them all swim, And leap out of water, In honor of him. 1 1 . Here's glory and honor, To Jesus below ; All things here around us, His power doth show ; He's worthy of honor, From all things that be, On earth or in heaven, And all in the sea. 12. All glory, all glory To Jesus above ; All glory, all glory For gracej peace and love; All glory to Jesus, My Priest and my King; All glory and praises, To Jesus I'll sing.

Come, precious souls, and let us take A walk becoming you and me ; And whither my friend, Shall we our footsteps bend, To Calvary or Gethsemane. 2. " O Calvary is a mountain high, 'Tis much too hard a task for me ; And I had rather stay In the broad and pleasant way, [mane. Then to walk in the garden of Gethse- 3.

We'll seek for heav'nly treasure, 134 HYMN 94. 4- Until H-e find the sea Ofsw>^p> unbounded liches, Of life, and lov ', and peace; Where beauty never withers, And glory nev.*r tease. 6. What, though the world reproach us And say we re mean and puorj No matter what we suffer, If we can rench the shore; 'Twill make the gory sweeter, And raise thi praises higher; And we shall be completer, When purified by fire.

While he surveys the much lov'd spo^ He slights the space that lies between. His pistlatigues are novi^ forgot, Because his journey's end is seen. 3. Thus when the christian pilgrim viev By faith, his mansion in the skies. The sjtrht his fainting strength renews, HYMN 102. 143 And wings his speed to reach the skies.

Lord ! when together here we meet, And taste the heavenly grace, rhe smiles are so di indy sweet, We're loath to leave the place. Yet, Father, since it is thy will That we must part again, ) let thy precious presence still With every one remain. h T us let u"- all in Christ bn one, - Bound with the c<»rds of l(»ve, till we around thy gh.rious throne, Shall joyous meet above. I. Where sin and sorrow from each heart', I Shall t( en ftuever flv, Aud not one thought ihat we should part, 144 HYMN 103. Once intercept our joy. 5. Whe e, void of all distracting painsj Our spirits ne'er shall tire; But in seraphic heavenly strains; Redeeming love admire. 6. And thus through all eternity, Upon the heavenly sh re, The great mysterious One in Three, Jehovah we'll adore. HYMN 103. L. M. Oi'tas the bell wiih solemn toll, Speaks the departure of a soul ; Let each ooe ask himself, am I Prepar'd. should I be ealPd to die ? 2. Only this frail and fleeting breath; Preserves me from the jaws of death ; Soon as it fails, at once I'm gone, And plung'd into a world unknown. 3. Then leaving all I lov'd below, To God's tribunal 1 must go; Must hear the judge pronounce ray fate,. And fix my everiastmg state. 4. But could I bear to hear him say^ ^'Depart, accursed, far away/ With satati, in the lowest hell, Thou art forever doomM to dwell.'' 5. Lord Jepus, help me now to Cee, And seek my help alone m thee; Apply thy blood, thy Spirit give, HYMN 104. 145 Subdue my sin, and let me live. 6. Then when the solemn bell I hear. If sav'd from guilt, I need not fear; Nor would the thought distressing be, Perhaps it next may toll for me. 7. Rather my spirit would rejoice, And long and wish to hear thy voice; Glad when it bids me earth resign, ijecure ofneaven, if thou art mine. HYMN 104. C. M Come humble sinner, in whose breast, A thousand thoughts revolve ; Come, with your guilt and fear opprest^,. And make this last resolve. ' 2. "I'll go to Jesus, though my sin Hath like a mountain rose ,* I know his courts — I'll enter in, Whatever may oppose. 3. Prostrate Ml lie before bis throne, And there my guilt confess ; I'll tell him I'm a vv^retch undone. Without hisaov'reign grace. 4. But should the Lord reject my plea, And disregard my pray'r ; Yet still, like Esther I will stay, And perish only there. 5. I can but perish if I go, I am resolv'd to try ; For if I slay away, I.kaow 10 146 HYMN 105,106. I must forever die. 6. But shduld I Hie with mercy sought, When I the Kino: liave tried ; ' 1 there should die (dehghtful thought/) Where ne'er a sinner died. HYMN 105. P. M.

HYMN lOti P. M. Come all ye weary travellers, And let us join to >mg, The everlasting praises Of Jesus Christ t^ur King; HYMN 106. 147 We'vo had a tefiious journey, . And tiresorue, lis true ; But seo liovv niMiiy dangers J lie Lord has bruiij;ht us through. 2. At first when Jesus found us, He call d us unto him : And pointed out the danger OlTallmg into sin ; The 'vorld, the tle>li and satan, Will prove a fatal siiure. Unless we do reject llietn, By faith and I uuible prayer. 3. But by our disobedience, With sorrow we confess. We've had too hnig to wander In a dark wildernwss, Where we niijiht soon have fainted In that enchanted grtjund, But now and then a cluster Of pleasant grapes we ftiund. 4. The pleasant fruits of Canaan Give life, and joy, and peace^ Revive our drooping spirils, And failh and love increase ; Confess our Lord and Ma>ter, ' And run at his coniuiand, And iiHsten'on our journey Unto the proniis'd land. 5. Ifi faith, and hope, and patience We now arc going on 148 HYMN 106. The pleasant way to Canaan, . Where Jesus Christ is gone ; In peace and consolation, WeVe going to rejoice, And Jesus and his people Forever be our choice. 6. Sinners, why stand ye idle, While we do march along I Has conscience never told you That you are going wroKg, Down the broad road to ruin. To bear an endless curse ? Forsake your ways of sinning, And come along with us. 7. But ifyou will refuse us, We'll bid you all ftirewell ; We "'re on the way to Canaan, And you the way to hell; We're sorry for to leave you. We'd rather you would go, Come, t;y a bleeding Saviour, And feel salvation flow. 8. O sinners, be awaken'd To see your dis-?al state, Repent and be converted. Before it is too late ; Turn to the Lord by- praying, And daily search his vvord. And never rest contented. Until you find the Lord. HYMN 107. 149 9. Now to the King immortal Be everlasting praise, For in his holy service We mean to spend our days; Till we arrive at Canaan, The celestial world above, With everlasting praises, To sing redeeming love. HYMN 107. P. M. My days, my weeks, my months, my years, Fly rapid as the whirling spheres, Around ihe steady pole ; Time, like the tide, its motion keeps, And I must launch ihro boundless deeps, Where endless ages roll. 2. The grave is near the cradle seen, How swift the moments pass between, And whisper as they fly, "Unthinkmg man, remember this. Though fond of ^ublu narblissy, That you must groan and die.'' 3. My soul attend the solemn call. Thine earthly tent must shortly fall, And thou must take ihy flight, Beyond the vast expansive blue, To sing above as angels do, Or sink in endless night. 4. How great the bliss, how great the wo, ,Hanfs on this inch of time below, 150 HYMN 107. On this precarious breatR ; The Lord of nature only knows, Whellier anolher year shall close, Ere I expire in death. 5. Long ere the snn shall rnn his roundf I may be huried underground, And there in silence rot, Ala^ .' an hour in;iy nioso the scene, And ere twelve months shall roll between, My name, be quite forgot. 6. But will njy soul be thus extinct, And cease to live, and cease to think ? ll cannot, can ot be ; No, my irnniorial cannot die ; What wilt thou do, or whither fly, When death shall set thee free 9 7. Will meic-y then her arms extend, Will Jesus be thy guardian friend, And heaven thy dwelling place? Or shall insulting fiends ajjpear, And drag thee down o dirk despair, Below the reach of grace ? 8. A heaven or hell and these alone, Beyond the pres«nt li e are known. There is no middle space, To-day attend the call divine, To-morrow may be none of thine, Or it may be too late. 9. O do not pass this as a dream. Vast s iho c ange whate'erit seem, HY1|N 108. 151 To poor nnthinkinjr man ; Lord at thv footstool I would bow, Bid ronscience plainly te'l tne now, What it would lell me then. 10.
