 On Baptising.. 
 
 1 Lord, we have come at thy command, 
 To follow thine appointed way ; 
 Now send a blessing from thy hand, 
 Assist us here to sing and pray. 
 
 2 A man from God, we hear, was sent, 
 Who did baptize in Jordan''s stream, 
 Such as believingly repent. 
 Repent, believ*, this was his theme. 
 
 3 The way he came for to prepare, 
 For one more mighty to proceed. 
 The truth of God he did declare 
 And taught us what we further need. 
 
 4 Thou art more mighty, Lorf', we own, 
 Who doth from heaven, with hre baptize. 
 Come let thy power, and gift be shown, 
 That we may in thine image rise. 
 
 5 This promise is to all the seed 
 Of Abraham, who now believe, 
 Such as from sin and guilt are freed. 
 May sure, the Holy Ghost receive. 
 
HTMNS. 
 
 6 Come Alpha, and Omega be, 
 
 Command thy blessings here, we pray, 
 Bring us the heavenly land to see. 
 Where we with God may ever stay. 
 
 »^fter Baptism. 
 
 1 Whien Christ was baptized in Jordan of 
 
 old, 
 Tb« spirit descended, in scriptufe we're 
 
 told, 
 A voice sounds from heaven declaring 
 
 the Son 
 The Father's well pleased in what he 
 
 hath done 
 March, march, march, Jews and Gentiles 
 Tl^ Saviour in glory to see. 
 
 2 Go on now rejoicing, who follow the 
 
 Lord, 
 Like the Ethiopian, believing the word, 
 The spirit of holiness will bring you 
 
 through, 
 March on to the city of gold, which is 
 
 new, 
 Praise, praise, praise him through heaven 
 On earth we shall praise him again. ■ 
 
 3 March, strait to the mark, for the ptizp 
 
 it is--sure 
 
HYMJTS. 5 
 
 For all that's good soldiers and hardness 
 
 endure 
 Who follow their captain, and king on 
 
 the way 
 Despising the shame, and not ceasing to 
 
 pray 
 Soon, soon, soon, we will praise him, 
 With all the bless'd armies above. 
 
 4 Come sinners the chief, and the worst of 
 
 mankind, 
 The sick, and the lame, and the halt, 
 
 and the blind. 
 Repent and believe on the Saviour Of all, 
 He came not the righteous, but sinners 
 
 to call. 
 Come, come, come to the marriage, 
 A feast is prepared for you. 
 
 5 Come publicans, harlots and thieves be 
 
 . made new 
 The high, and the low, sure the call is to 
 
 you, 
 Where sin hath abounded, there grace 
 
 shall exceed. 
 From sin, and from death, and from 
 
 bondage be freed 
 Sing, sing, sing ye his praises, 
 March home from the battle to teign. 
 
b HYMNS. 
 
 6 Come bond, and the free, and ye covetous 
 
 come, 
 No money is asked, and yet there is room, 
 Come Isles of the sea, and ye far distant 
 
 lauds, 
 March on to the kingdom, where JesuS^ 
 
 commands, 
 Crowns, crowns, crowns are prepared 
 For all who do conquer below. 
 
 7 To battle to battle, we surely will go, 
 The world, flesh, and satan, is only the 
 
 foe, 
 They're conquered by Jesus, who did 
 
 overcome. 
 We'll follow him truly, he'll bring us all 
 
 home, 
 March, march, march, on to glory. 
 Where soldiers are meeting to praise. 
 
 8 No peace to the wicked, is found here 
 
 below. 
 But all that believe, the true peace they 
 
 do know, 
 And likewise the earnest, is promised to 
 
 thee 
 Receive it, be holy, from bondage be free, 
 Shout, shout, shout, ye with Angels, 
 And all that do follow the Lamb. 
 
 9 The holy, the sealed, are far on the way, 
 All things, to inherit whiqh never decay, 
 
HYMK&. 7 
 
 There's glittering girdles, and crowns 
 
 which are gold, 
 They sing hallelua with wariors of old 
 Sound, sound, sound all ye harpers 
 We join to praise God ever mor«,

 And all the holy brethren great.

 Exhort, rebuke, persuade, 
 To turn to God as he doth call, 
 That they may find his aid. 
 
 ^ Lord help us now, we pray, 
 The spirit's sword to take. 
 Let sin and sorrow flee away, 
 Pardon for Jesus sake.

 Increase their faith, cast out their fear 
 Let them thy sanction feel.

 Now let it, Lord, appear.

 Througji faith he will perform the vow 
 And you the truth shall know

 A glorious Jubilee.

 And hear the Lord your King 
 Glad tidings to thee we declare. 
 Terms of Salvation bring. 
 
 2 Look unto me, and saved be

 The Son can surely make you free 
 From sin and death, come forth.

 The serpent up did raise 
 
HYMNSi y 
 
 The Son of Man, we must confess 
 For health, and pardon, praise.

 And you shall find this promise true 
 The meek, his pardon hath. 
 
 6 Gift of the spirit, seek by faith,

 Your God shall see, as Jesus saith 
 In heav'n, at last abide. 
 
 5. L. M. 
 
 1 Again in fellowship we part. 
 
 To different climes we now must go. 
 All of one soul, all of one heart. 
 The Father and the Son we know. 
 
 2 To God we look for strength and aid, 
 
 To keep us all in holiness, 
 Which Christ unto us all is made, 
 In whom we all things here possess. 
 
 3 Gome Lord a parting blessing send 
 
 Be with each one, and those that stay 
 Help each one ficht unto the end 
 And never let us go astray.

 Abide in us and ever reign 
 
 A show'r from heav'n now let it sound. 
 
 6 Thy Father and thyself abide, 
 
 In all thy saints while here below 
 .Such as by faith, are sanctified, 
 And let them full salvation know.

 May we, at last, be holy found 
 And safely all arrive at home. 
 Thy praise eternally resound.

 Morning. 
 
 1 Early I seek thy Grace, 
 
 To aid this day in love. 
 Assist to run the heav'nly race. 
 That I may reign above. 
 
 2 This morning from on high, 
 
 Send down a righteous rain, 
 
 And bless thy sons afar, and nigh, 
 
 Renew their strength again. 
 
 3 For blessings which are past, 
 
 Thy name be ever praised, 
 
HYMNS. 11 
 
 For mercy which doth ever last, 
 Be songs of glory raisM. 
 
 4 Let aid be granted still 
 
 Through life's short journey here. 
 The Holy Ghost, let each one fill, 
 Till we with thee appear. 
 
 & Bloss'd Comforter abide, 
 And lead us all to rest, 
 With all that now are sanctified, 
 Where all things are possessed.

 And dwell and reign within ; 
 To things of time we bid adieu, 
 Let heav'n on earth begin.

 PleyeVs Hymn. On Meeting of the Holj^ 
 
 Brethren. 
 1 Again we meet another year. 
 To praise the Lord anew, 
 Spirit of holiness appear, 
 
 Help us the truth pursue, 
 We praise the Lord, for blessings pasi^ 
 
 We trust him still for aid. 
 
 He'll help us build unto the last, 
 
 Foundations, he hath laid. 
 
I 
 
 12 HYMNS. 
 
 2 O God, the pillars raise, we pray, 
 
 The Church again restore, 
 And put the battle in array, 
 
 As thou hast done before ; 
 Salvation's walls raise high again, 
 
 Set up her gates of praise, 
 Her watchmen let them there remfiin, 
 
 And banners lofty raise. 
 
 ^3 Help them to sound alarm afar. 
 
 In Zion's Holy Mount, 
 Her armies quickly, Lord, prepare. 
 
 To give a good account, 
 The Holy Ghost, the rivers send 
 
 Direct, and lead the way. 
 And help us fight unto the end, 
 
 Be never drove astray.

 Tht Pilgrimage. 
 
 A pilgrim's journey, long I take, a better 
 
 world to view, 
 Where tribulations have an end, and all 
 
 things are made new, 
 Forgetting tioubles a^ I go,^ and hope for 
 
 better things, 
 Where sorrows all come to amend, and 
 
 fiaints forever sings. 
 
HYMNS. 13 
 
 2 The world I bid a long farewel, its snares 
 
 I do forsake, 
 
 My helmet on, my feet well shod, my God 
 my refuge make, 
 
 My wisdom and my righteousness, mj 
 holiness is he. 
 
 The spirit it will lead me through to im- 
 mortality. 
 
 3 Why should a thought of fainting, a mo- 
 
 ment, e'er come near 
 
 Since Jesus is my captain, again I on do 
 stear, 
 
 The city shining brilliant, is only just 
 before, 
 
 There shall I see our armies, where pil- 
 grims do adore. 
 
 4 This journey at the longest, will soon be 
 
 at an end. 
 
 And Jesus from that city, the angels forth 
 will send, 
 
 To gather home all pilgrims, and give 
 them crowns of gold, 
 
 And make them kings forever, bis beau- 
 ty to behold. 
 
 5 My title to these mansions, I think it 
 
 must be sure 
 My sins are all forgiven, my heart he hath 
 made pure, 
 
14 HYMNS. 
 
 I follow on my captain, the spirit's mad* 
 
 me free, 
 I love the God of glory,& him I hope to see. 
 
 6 Come all ye sons of Adam, for refuge flee 
 straitway, 
 
 Repent, believe the Gospel, and never go 
 astray 
 
 The holy spirit's promise,receive and fol- 
 low home, 
 
 Where all that are true pilgrims, to rest 
 forever come. 
 
 Soldier's Call. 
 
 1 Come friends and all soldiers, to war 
 
 now prepare. 
 The world, flesh and satan, are foes to 
 
 ensnare. 
 But take the true armour, the breastplate 
 
 of love, 
 And march to the city, of glory above. 
 
 2 A standard is raised, come Zion march 
 
 round, 
 As armies with banners, and give a long 
 
 sound, 
 The walls of the giants, before you shall 
 
 fall, 
 And Canaan supply you to conquer 
 
 withalk 
 
HYMNS. 15- 
 
 3 The sword of the spirit, shall cut its way 
 
 through, 
 The Holy Ghost given, hath made you 
 
 anew, 
 Ye fight not uncertain, but conquer, and ' 
 
 more, 
 And follow your captain who conq.uei'''d' 
 
 before^ 
 
 4 Your numbers though little a host shall 
 
 destroy, 
 
 And one chase a thousand, two, ten, 
 more annoy, 
 
 The battle's not gained^by many, nor 
 strong. 
 
 And not to the speedy, the race doth be- 
 long. 
 
 5 Trust then in your captain, he'll gain yoa 
 
 the day. 
 Live ye in the spirit, not ceasing to pray 
 Muich strait to the city, remember thJe 
 
 prize. 
 From glory, to glory, to heaven, arise. 
 
 6 There warriors are praising, their armor's 
 
 laid by. 
 And angels are helping to shout the loud 
 
 cry, 
 Hosanna to Jesus, and God, they all 
 
 sing,— 
 A glorious army, is praising their King.

 AtuI Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive. 
 Josh. vi. 25. 
 
 1 The Jews were of old, a nation elected. 
 Yet others are saved,by faith are protected 
 When they stand in fear, by hearing 
 
 God's wonders, 
 Done in the Red Sea. Who from Sinai's 
 
 land thunders, 
 Chorus. 
 Hallalua to the King, who so freely doth 
 
 pardon, 
 We'll praise him again, when we pass 
 
 over Jordan. 
 
 2 When spies came to view, the land ovey 
 
 Jordan, 
 To Rahab they swear, to be faithful to 
 
 pardon, 
 We have heard of thy fame from Og and 
 
 king Sihon, 
 Thy God he is king, who reigneth in Zion. 
 Chorus. 
 
 3 A token of peace, in her windov.', she 
 
 bindeth, 
 The scarlet thread shows, and Rahab 
 they fiijdeth, 
 
HYMNS. 17 
 
 Alive she is sav'd with her nearest rela- 
 tion, 
 By faith all are sav'd in every nation. 
 Chorus. 
 
 4 Our Jesus is sure, like Joshua to pardon, 
 And sanctify too and bring them o'er Jor- 
 dan, 
 
 To a land that is richer than Canaan for 
 treasure ; 
 
 And at his right hand are rivers of plea- 
 sure. 
 
 5 Come harlots again and chief in trans- 
 
 gression, 
 
 The Saviour hath died doth make inter- 
 cession. 
 
 By faith saved be, through faith drink 
 the spirit, 
 
 From sin be made free, and all things 
 inherit. 
 
 Hallalua to the king, who so freely doth 
 pardon, 
 
 We'll praise him again when we pass o\'er 
 Jordan. 
 
 11. L. M. 
 
 1 Come sinners, hear the gospel sound, 
 This is the way the lost are found, 
 To ev'ry creature it is preach'd. 
 Come to the feast, you are beseeclv*d 
 
18 HYMNS. 
 
 2 This is the time to hear the call, 
 Come to the feast px;epar'd for all ; 
 Repent, believe, m^e now your choice, 
 And hear to-day your Saviour's voice. 
 
 3 Assist to speak, and hear the word, 
 And shew the terror's of the Lord, 
 With fear let sinners moved be. 
 To Christ for refuge may they flee, 
 
 4 Yhose who have fled for refuge see, 
 Pardon their sins and make them free, 
 Baptize them with the Holy Ghost, 
 And save them to the uttermost. 
 
 5 Come Alpha, and Omega be. 
 Let us thy great salvation see, 
 Let all into one spirit drink, 
 
 Alike may all both speak and think. 
 
 6 From high now send the spirit down, 
 Thy presence let our meeting crown, 
 At last our labour let us see. 
 
 And dwell in Heav'n, O Lord, with thee.

 1 When I, in sin and folly set out to find 
 the Lord, 
 i felt myself most wretched, condemned 
 by the word, 
 
HYMNS. 19 
 
 I sought to be made better) before I found 
 
 the way, 
 At last I came with all my sins, believ- 
 
 ingly did pray. 
 
 2 The Lord, he said, come unto me, and I 
 
 will give you rest, 
 Along I came repenting, to God my sins 
 
 confess'd 
 I call'd on God and Jesus, to pardon all 
 
 my sin, 
 I bid the Lord a welcome, to sup he then 
 
 came in. 
 
 3 By faith, came peace, and pardon, and 
 
 love to God and man. 
 And then the spirit given, did wider shew 
 
 the plan, 
 His Father sure came with him, my soul 
 
 did sanctify 
 This is the blessed spirit descending from 
 
 on high. 
 
 4 I long to see the spirit, on Israel's sons 
 
 pour'd out. 
 
 Which God so freely promis'd, to all who 
 are devout, 
 
 His servants, and his handmaids — to ho- 
 liness arise. 
 
 His watchman all see eye to eye, the 
 truth most highly prize. 
 
20 HYMNS. 
 
 5 No more from them I'll hide my face, the 
 
 Lord God, he doth say, 
 For I the spirit have pour'd out, in this 
 
 the latter day. 
 Come Lord baptize with fire, thy sceptre 
 
 here now wield 
 May Zion's sons come boldly into the 
 
 gospel field. 
 
 6 My life I count not dear to me, this gift 
 
 to spread abroad. 
 It is my greatest sorrow, so few doth 
 
 know our God, 
 Lord God, send overseers, fiU'd with the 
 
 Holy Ghost, 
 The flock of God shall surely feed, that 
 
 no one shall be lost. 
 
 7 I hope to see tliis truth prevail, before I 
 
 hence do go, 
 That I in peace may then depart, and 
 
 leave this world of wo ; 
 O God, send down a shower, of holiness 
 
 and love. 
 And may I meet the holy, and praise with 
 
 them above. 
 
 13. 
 
 On Di/ing in the Faith of God's Elect. 
 1 Farewell vain world, my stay is ended, 
 My sorrows, and my troubles, here, 
 
HYMNS. 2t 
 
 Now let angels home convey me 
 Where the pilgrims crowns do wear. 
 
 2 My Saviour, come, for to go with me, 
 
 Through the shades of death and pain, 
 I trust him still, in this last trial, 
 With him in glory, I shall reign. 
 
 3 By him I found true peace, and pardon, 
 
 The Holy Ghost he sent to me. 
 This is the promise of the Father, 
 Whom I do love, and soon shall see« 
 
 4 My dying words, I pray remember, "-> 
 
 Which I have taught from year to year. 
 The Holy Ghost to me most precious, 
 This is the way, non^ need to fear. 
 
 5 Come, all believers, yet receive it, 
 
 As a promise made to you, 
 It will make you pure and holy, 
 Numbered with the chosen few. 
 
 6 Witness all who see me dying, 
 
 Of these words I leave below. 
 
 Though by men I've been despised. 
 
 Yet my Lord doth with me go. 
 
 Amen.

 1 Salvation of the Lord behold 
 For those who foUow'd him of old 
 
22 HYMNS. 
 
 The sea divides, to let them through. 
 Their foes are drowned in their view. 
 
 2 He fed them all with angels food 
 Their clothes and shoes remained good 
 Those that do trust him sure shall see 
 Their enemies before them flee. 
 
 3 The foes who now our peace annoy 
 Our conq'ring King will sure destroy 
 This horn of our salvation sends 
 The Holy Ghost to all his friends, 
 
 4 That we from enemies be freed, 
 May serve him all our days indeed, 
 In holiness, with faith and love. 
 At last may reign with him above. 
 
 5 Come Sinners all without delay. 
 No longer in your bondage stay. 
 Repent, believe, in Christ our King, 
 Salvation he will surely bring. 
 
 6 Then greater things he hath in store. 
 Ask and believe, he'll give thee more, 
 1 he Comforter is prorais'd sure. 
 
 To seal and dwell, and make thee pure. 
 
 7 O God of Glory send it here. 
 That perfect love may banish fear, 
 That we in hope may all abound. 
 And pleasing God at last be found. 
 
HYMNS. 23 
 
 8 That when from earth we go away, 
 We may go home to endless day, 
 To praise the Lord our righteousness 
 And with him all things there possess. 
 
 15. P. M. 
 
 1 Come all ye sinners see 
 Your Saviour on the tree, 
 
 He dies to redeem you from death 
 
 He comes both meek and low 
 
 But his power he doth show, 
 
 And all his salvation may have. :, 
 
 2 The lost he came to find, j 
 To heal the lame and blind. 
 
 He preaches the word to the poor ; i 
 
 The dead are raised up, \ 
 
 With any man he'll sup, 
 And his Fatlxer at length with him bring. 
 
 3 He gives the mourners rest. 
 And takes them to a feast 
 
 Where robes they are all well prepared, 
 Here music all delight, 
 And armours shining bright 
 Kcceive them, and conquer the foe. 
 
 4 The shield of faith put on, 
 The battle is begun, 
 
 Your earnest be sure to receive 
 Be sav'd from unbelitf. 
 
24 HYMNi. 
 
 Follow your glorious chief, 
 
 At last you shall all with him reign. 
 
 5 Your helmets surely lake, 
 Your captain ne'er forsake, 
 
 T he world he hath sure overcome, 
 
 He conq'red death also,. 
 
 Did to his Father go 
 
 And there you may see them above. 
 
 6 The warfare is not long, 
 And then begin the song 
 Of loud everlasting praise ; 
 With harps they honours sound, 
 But none can there be found. 
 To pay oflf the great debt of love.

 ZiorCs March and Battle. 
 
 1 As pilgrims through this world we go, 
 Forfeiting all these things below ; 
 
 In tribulations we rejojce, 
 
 Eternal life it is our choice ; 
 
 Our faces heavenward we keep 
 
 Our Captain guards, and doth not sleep, 
 
 We trust him in the trying hour. 
 
 He saves us by his spirit's power. 
 
 2 His armies do not fight unsure, 
 
 He gives them rest, and makes them put^, 
 
HYxMNS. 25 
 
 •An hundred fold he gives below, 
 They more than conquer all the foe, 
 And when to glory they shall come, 
 Eternal life it ends the sum ; 
 And down their arms they then will lay, 
 And harp aloud through endless day, 
 
 Zion, anew your forces raise. 
 
 Shine forth in robes of brighter blaze, 
 
 Your banners raise, break forth once 
 
 nwre, 
 The King of Kings will go before ; 
 Uncertain you need not to fight, 
 A few can put a host to flight ; 
 Stretch out thy cords of holiness, 
 The gentile regions to possess. 
 
 The Jews let Zion soon surround, 
 As from the dead let them be found, 
 May they be grafted in again, 
 Again in Canaan's land to reign. 
 With gentile armies have reward. 
 Own Jesus Christ their King and Lord» 
 And conquer to the uttermost, 
 A 11 that resist the Holy Ghost. 
 
 Awake, awake, thy strength put on, 
 The Holy Ghost will make you one, 
 His standard raise and march away, 
 And never go again astray, 
 Your loins well girt, your feet well shod, 
 Your helmets on, thus meet your God, 
 
2& HYMNS. 
 
 And lay your trophies at his fe^t, 
 And sing his praise where armies meet. 
 
 6 They down to earth with Christ will 
 
 cojne, 
 The wicked then receive their doom, 
 The Kings in fetters then they bind, 
 Who would not seek the truth to find, 
 Then their strong chains will hold them 
 
 fast, 
 Where devils reign and hope is past, 
 Rebelious souls there sure must be 
 In sorrow, weep in misery. 
 
 7 Now is the time to win the prize, 
 Before the Judge in vengeance rise-, 
 And mercy's door is shut to thee, 
 And life no longer ofFer'd free, 
 Repent, believe, the sph-it seek, 
 That you at last with all the meek^ 
 Salvation everlasting have,

 Their praises loud, all heav'n doth fill

 rays. 
 Which Jesus receiv'd from the ancient

 power, 
 As guards for the pure souls, in the trying

 did reign, 
 
 And holiness o'er coming the spirits un-

 And truth keep us free, sure protecting 
 the path.

 Where sin did abound, there more grace 
 
 display, 
 Let power be present, that hope ma\

 Laid in the manger meek.

 They spread these things around, 
 
 The praise of God they then did sing 
 Because the Saviour's found.

 gift of the Spirit, and Sanctijicatiort 
 wholly. 
 
 1 When in my youthf j1 days I felt 
 Myself a sinner ; under guilt, 
 To God for mercy I did pray, 
 
 And mourning went, from day to day. 
 
 2 At length the Saviour I did view, 
 
 My burthen fled, all things look'd new, 
 The brethren too I then did love, 
 §orae hop'd to meet them all above. 
 
 3 My prayer was changed from Lord for- 
 
 give : 
 Keep me from sin, help me to live, 
 As Christians should from day to day, 
 And never let me full away. 
 
 4 No one of this I durst to tell, 
 
 I he cross I shunn'd, and soon I fell, 
 My peace I found did soon abate, 
 Sin brought me iu a dreadful state. 
 
 5 So on I went in the broadvvay, 
 'Gainst light and knowledge evVy day, 
 Something to me did often tjll. 
 
 Now stop or you will eud in hell 
 4 
 
66 HYMNS. 
 
 6 Thus on I went for many years, 
 The truth did oft salute my ears, 
 Sometimes I thought I will amend, 
 Escape from hell that dreadful end. 
 
 7 Those promises I always broke, 
 In bondage liv^d, that woful yoke, 
 Through fear of death I wish'd to fly, 
 Fiom God and Christ eternally. 
 
 8 But where to go I could not tell, 
 To fly fiora God, although in hell 
 
 His vengeance theie would hold me still, 
 And I must suffer all his will. 
 
 9 Pleasure in sin I strove to take, 
 Before in toiment 1 should wake ; 
 Of Dives I did often think, 
 
 Whose riches could not purchase diink. 
 
 10 Honour and riches I did seek, 
 My vessel broke, did always leak, 
 And happiness f did not find, 
 
 U'o satisfy the troubled mind. 
 
 11 When unto God I went to pray, 
 
 I could not think what I must say, 
 My old experience often rose, 
 Whether it be one, God only knows. 
 
 12 Sometimes I said, there is no God, 
 But yet i fear'd the dreadful rod, 
 
 i, like the fool, did on him call, 
 
 And sometimes thought heM ?ave them all. 
 
HYMNS. 67 
 
 1-3 Waken'd at last I was again, 
 My state to see because of sin ; 
 One thing, said I, I truly know, 
 A fcinner I am, I feel it so. 
 
 14 Another tiling is just as true, 
 Cliiist calleth sinneis such as you, 
 All that repent and do believe. 
 
 15 Although your sins like crimson are, 
 ril wash away and you shall share, 
 Said Jesus Christ, with all the bless'd. 
 Come unto me, TU give you rest. 
 
 16 My old experience I forgot, 
 For all things here I cared not, 
 Mercy then was all my song, 
 
 I prayed as I went along. 
 
 17 For more convjf tion sliall I pray, 
 
 l he answer seemVl fiom God was, nay, 
 Fmable now lo^ii.-t you fit?€. 
 From guilt and sin f-aid misery. 
 
 18 Something said, now stop and pray, 
 Your sins, though great, shall flee away. 
 Have faith In Ciod come afso too, 
 Tlres«{ mountains then away shall go, 
 
 19 I stopped then began to pray. 
 In earnest unto Christ did say, 
 Thou stem of Jes«e pltad for me. 
 Helpless deserving miSeiy.

 HYMNS. 
 
 20 Thy Father will entreated be, 
 To save a sinner just like me, 
 His law thou hast now magnified, 
 For me dear Jesus thou hast died. 
 
 21 Father, I said, for Jesus' sake. 
 Pardon me now and truly make, 
 His suff'rings for me on the tree, 
 My righteousness and liberty. 
 
 22 To Christ again I made my plea> 
 By faith I saw him on the tree, 
 Rememb'ring me in that sad hour. 
 To ransom me from Satan's power. 
 
 23 The living water then I ask'd, 
 The door I open'd now at last, 
 And said, O blessed Lord come in, 
 And save me from the guilt of sin. 
 
 24 The pardon seem'd already now. 
 Said I, to hell I shall not go. 
 
 The same said I, I soon shall have, 
 I do believe the Lord will save. 
 
 25 Something answered to my soul, 
 
 '1 by faith hath truly made thee whole, 
 Then joy and gladness did come down, 
 From God through Christ his only Son. 
 
 $6 My wretchedness was fled away, 
 My God I thank'd, to Christ did say, 
 I shall from death, the grave, be free. 
 And put on immortality . 
 
HYMNS. 
 
 69 
 
 27 My faith to me, as I was told. 
 Like Father Abraham's of old, 
 Was counted for my righteottsness. 
 
 As God through Christ had pleas'd to 
 bless. 
 
 28 How rich is God, how poor am I, 
 Nothing to give I now did cry, 
 Nothing he ask'd, but said 'tis free, 
 No money's ask'd for liberty. 
 
 29 Witness I had myself within. 
 
 That God has bless'd and pardon'd sin, 
 My Lord liveth, I said I know, 
 And I shall surely live also. 
 
 30 To God for wisdom, said I'll go, 
 For who are his I do not know, 
 Examine closely I did say, 
 Teach what I lack I humbly pray. 
 
 (rift of the Spirit. 
 
 31 Accordingly I then soon found. 
 For God did speak in secret sound, 
 And asked me whom, he had blessed, 
 If I'd serve Him in holiness. 
 
 32 And if I also would receive, 
 His Holy Spirit which he'd give, 
 To make me holy like him too, 
 Till I with him to glory go. 
 
70 HYMNS. 
 
 33 In silence then, amaz'd was I, 
 And he as follows did apply, 
 My Son the blessed from above, 
 Receiv''d the spirit like a dove. 
 
 34 So those who wish to follow on, 
 Must be anpinted as my Son. 
 The Holy Ghost, I then did see, 
 Was freely promised unto me. 
 
 35 The witness then of God I ask'd, 
 In faith, for this as in things past, 
 Believing to the ulteiniost, 
 
 Till G^od sent down the Holy Ghost. 
 
 36 The witness then! b^d most true, 
 The Holy Ghost I then welt knew 
 To me was given from above, 
 And holiness I r.ow did love. 
 
 37 My heart felt holy it is true. 
 Union with God and Christ I knew, 
 And the bless'd unction given too, 
 *Twas holiness and heaven below. 
 
 38 My heart was truly purified. 
 And powV f« om God to lay aside, 
 I had the witness st;iy within, 
 To lay aside besetting sin. 
 
 39 The leav'ning lump which I received, 
 Worked out the same as I believ'd, 
 When pride the devil I did see, 
 Gcd did him fpoil most certainly. 
 
HYMNS. n 
 
 40 Some other thing then tempted me. 
 The Holy Ghost did set me fioc, 
 For this I pray'd, and soracth.ing said, 
 Your life is hid and ye are dead. 
 
 41 And envy also drew quite near, 
 By faith in God I did not fear, 
 To ask that God w ould this erase, 
 Believing too, he'd give more grace. 
 
 42 Although my soul was sanctified, 
 The field did still appea: more ^vide, 
 You wholly shall, as Paul did say. 
 Be sanctified, 'tis God's own way. 
 
 53 Amen, said I, 'tis true, 'tis true, 
 'Tis Christ that's faithful who will do. 
 The things he prnmis'd shall be done. 
 The Father, Spirit, and He are one. 
 
 44 Not only so, 'tis also said. 
 
 By Paul, and Christ, rais'd from the dead 
 Preserved blameless you shall be, 
 His heav'nly kingdom for to sec. 
 
 45 He will, he will, I often said. 
 Relying on what Jesus did. 
 
 At last the pow'r, and fire he sent, 
 Through spirit, soul, yea, body went. 
 
 46 Yes, God is true, can't be denied. 
 And I was whoUyruanctified, 
 
 O keep me, Lord,, in tliis good way. 
 And never let me go astray.

 That all may perfect be in love.

 A new one preach, or old deny, 
 Accursed let them be, said Paul, 
 The plan is fix'd, let all comply, 
 Will any with his Maker vie, , 
 Refuse to preach the truth to all.

 By sins forgiv'n be justified,

 The Holy Ghost is for them all, 
 Let none despise, or truth pervert, 
 'Tis God that calls them thus to be, 
 When he doth curse who shall set free ? 
 Receive the same, be pure in heart.

 If I then your Lord and Masier have wash-

 another s feet. Johnxiii. 14. 
 
 1 Our Lord, although a glorious king. 
 Did lowly come, salvation bring, 
 
 Let us take up the cross. 
 The shame despise, be not afraid, 
 Hardness endure, he'll give thee aid, 
 
 To do as he hath done. 
 
 2 His garments he did lay aside, 
 A towel for his girdle tied, 
 
 A pattern for to shew, 
 Disciples then he did intreat. 
 That he their Lord might wash their feet, 
 
 To have a part with him. 
 
 3 But Peter to his Lord did say, 
 
 Thou shalt not wash my feet this way, 
 
 His Lord persuaded him ; 
 He said, not feet, but hands and head, 
 Then unto him his Saviour said, 
 
 The feet it answers all. 
 
 4 So after he had washM their feet 
 His garments took, and down he set 
 
 Saying, tell what I've done ; 
 
104 HYMNS. 
 
 Ye call me Lord and Master well, 
 Example this I now all tell 
 Do ye as I have done. 
 
 5 The Servant's net above his Lord, 
 The humble all, I will reward 
 
 That willingly obey ; 
 If ye these things ye all do know, 
 Happy are ye to do them too. 
 
 As I the pattern leave, 
 
 6 Mansions for you I will prepare 
 That you with me may ever share 
 
 A place in heav'n above, 
 If me, your Lord, ye truly love, 
 My statutes keep, I go alaove, 
 
 The Comforter will send. 
 
 7 The Holy Ghost ye shall receive. 
 Soon after I this world do leave, 
 
 With God am glorified, 
 This promise I will send straitway. 
 Wait ye with faith and patience pray, 
 
 Behold it sure will come. 
 
 8 This is the earnest here below, 
 Till you a better world do know, 
 
 Where all the holy praise ; 
 A kingdom I appoint for you, 
 A stone that's white, a name that's new, 
 
 In New Jerusalem.

 9 Hear ye how what the spirit saith. 
 All that o'ercome salvation's hath.

 All things in glory they shall share 
 Unfading crowns forever wear 
 With Christ they shall sit down. 
 
 10 Yea, in their foreheads there will be, 
 Their Father's name that all may see, 
 
 With New Jerusalem; 
 The city's name of the great King, 
 Upon them waits, where they do sing 
 
 With all the heav'nly train. 
 
 11 Be humble now, your Lord obey, 
 And you shall reign in endless day, 
 
 In immortallity ; 
 ^ Ye that have wash'd each others feet, 
 Ye shall at last each other greet. 
 In worlds that have no end. 
 
 12 Your Lord and Master there shall see, 
 Your God and Father where they be, 
 
 And judge the world also ; 
 Then who would not the cross endure 
 His yoke so easy, rest, so sure, 
 
 With God in heav'n above.

 To bond, and free, aged and youth.
