Breathe thy life, and spread thy light Loving Spirit, God of peace. Great distributer of grace. Rest upon this congregation ! Hear, O hear our supplication I From that height which knows no measuid As a gracious show'r descend ; Bringing down the richest treasure Man can wish, or God can send : O thou Glory, shining down From the Father and the Son, Grant us thy illumination ! Rest upon this congregation. Come, thou best of all donations God can give, or we implore ; Having thy sweet consolations. We need wish for nothing more : Come with unction and with pow'r. On our souls thy graces show*r; Author of the new creation. Make our hearts thy habitation. HYMNS. 4 Manifest th^ love for ever ; Fence us m on ev'ry side ; h distress, be our reJiever ; Guard and teach, support and guide : Let thy kind, effectual grace, Turn our feet from evil ways; Shew thyself our new Creator, And couVorm us to thy nature. Be our friend, on each occasion ; God, onuiipotent to save ; When we die, be our salvation ; Nor forsake us in our grave ; And, when from the grave we rise. Take us up above the skies ; Seat us with thy saints in glory. There for ever to adore Thee. 2 To the Holy Ghost. 7. GRACIOUS Spirit, Dove divine i Let thy light witliin me shine ; 411 my guilty fears remove, Fill me full of heav'n and love. Speak thy pardoning grace to me. Set the burtlien'd sinner free ; Lead me to tlie Lamb of God, Wash me in his precious blood. Life and peace to me impart ; Seal salvation on my heart : Breathe thyself into my breast. Earnest of immortal rest. Let me never froiu thee stray. Keep me in the narrow way : Fill my soul with joy divine, Keep me. Lord, for ever thine. 5 HYMNS. 3 Invitation, 6. 8. YE dying sous of men, luimerg'd in sin and woe. The gospel's voice attend While Jesus sends to you : Ye perishing and guilty, come. In Jesu's arms there yet is room. No longer now delay. Nor vain excuses frame ; He bids you come to-day, Tlio' poor, aiid blind, and lame ; All things are ready, sinner, come, For ev'ry trembling soul there's room. Believe the heav'nly word His messengers proclaim ; He is a gracious Lord, And Faithful is his name. Backsliding souls, return and come, Cast off despair, there yet is room, Compell'd by bleeding love. Ye wand'ring sheep draw.near, Christ calls you from above. His charming accents hear ; I^et whosoever will, now come. In mercy's breast there yet is room. 4 The Contrite Heart, CM. THE Lord will happiness divine On contrite hearts bestow ; Tlien tell me, gracious God, is mine A contrite heart or no ? I hear, but seem to hear in vain. Insensible as steel : If aught is felt, 'tis only pain, Because I cannot feel. 11 HYMNS. 8 I sometimes think myself inclin'd To love thee if I could ; But often feel another mind, Averse to all that's good. My best desires are faint and few, I fain would strive for more ; But when I cry, " My strength renew," Seem weaker than before. Thy saints are comforted 1 know, And love thy house of prayer ; I therefore go where others go, But find no comfort there. O make this heart rejoice or ache ; Decide this doubt for me ; And if it be not broken, break ; And heal it, if it be. ^'^ 5 Precious Gospel. 11, THE gospel brings tidings to each wound- ed soul. That Jesus the Savior, can make it quite whole : And what makes this gospel most precious to me, JL offers salvation so perfectly free. this gospel says further,God sending his Son To die for poor sinners, gave all things in one ; Tliis makes then the gospel so precious to me *Tis surely a gospel as full as 'tis free. ince Jesus hath sav*d me, and that freey too, I fain would in all things my gratitude shew; But as for man's merit, 'tis hateful to me. The gospel, I love it, 'tis perfectl5'^ free , 9 HYMNS. II O Redeeming Love, 7. "T^OW begin the heav'nly theme, i-^ Sing aloud in Jesu's name ; Ye who Jesu's kindness prove, Triumpli in Redeeming Love > [Ye Avho see the Father's grace Beaming in the Savior's face. As to Canaan on ye move. Praise and bless Redeeming Love /] Mourning souls, dry up your tears. Banish all your guilty fears : See your guilt and curse remove, Cancell'd by Redeeming Love! [Ye, alas ! who long have been Willing slaves of death and sin, Now from bliss no longer rove, Stop — and taste Redeeming Love /] Welcome all by sin opprest. Welcome to your Savior's breast : Nothing brought him from above. Nothing but Redeeming Love ! He subda'd th' infernal pow'rs, His tremendous foes and ours, From their cursed empire drove. Mighty in Hedeeming Love ! Hither then your music bring, Strike aloud each joyful string '' Mortals join the hosts above, Join to praise Redeeming Love / 7 Caution to Professors, L,M. NOT words alone it cost the Lord To purchase pardon for his own , Nor will a soul by grace restor'd. Return the Savior words alone. 11 HYMNS. 12 With golden bells, the priestly vest, And rich pomegranates border'd round. The need of holiness express'd, And call'd for fruit as well as sound. Easy indeed it were to reach A mansion in the courts above, f swelling words and fluent speech Might serve instead of faith and love. But none shall gam the blissful place. Or God's unclouded glory see, Who talks of free and sov'reign grace. Unless that grace has made him free. 8 Light in darkness. CM. GOD moves in a mysterious way , His wonders to perform : He plants his footsteps in the sea. And rides upon the storm. Deep in unfathomable mines Of never-failing skill. He treasures up his bright designs. And works his sov'reign will. Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take, The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head, 'udge not the Lord by feeble sense. But trust him for his grace ; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding ev'ry hour; l"he bud may have a bitter taste, But sv/eet will be the flow'r. 14 13 HYMNS. 14 Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan his work in vain ; God is his own interpreter, And he will make it plain. 9 Helpless Man. CM. MY times of sorrow and of joy, Great God! are in tliine hand ; My choicest comforts came from thee. And go at thy command. If thou should take them all away. Yet let me not repine ; Before they were possess'd by nie. They were entirely thine. Nor let me drop a murmuring word, Tlio' the whole world were gone ; But seek enduring happiness In TheCy and Thee alone. What is the world, or all things here % 'Tis but a bitter sweet ; When I attempt a rose to pluck, A pricking thorn I meet. Here perfect bliss can ne'er be found. The honey's mixt with gall ; 'Midst changing scenes, and dying friends Be Thou my all in all. 10 Self-examination . CM. OFOR a closer walk with God, A calm and heav'nly frame ! A light to shine upon the road. That leads me to the Lamb. Where is the blessedness I knew. When first I saw the Lord ? Where is the soul refreshing view Of Jesus and his word i5 15 HYMNS. 16 What peaceful hours I then enjoy M ! How sweet their mem'ry still I But now I find an aching void. Which God alone can till. Return, O holy Dove, return. Sweet messenger of rest ! f hate the sins that make me mourn. That drove Thee from my breast. The dearest- Idol I have known, Whate'er that Idol be ; Help me to bear it from thy throne, And worship only Thee. So shall my walk be close with God, Calm and serene my frame ; And light divine mark out the road That leads me to the Lamb. Jesus, my Lord, my life, my light, O come with blissful ray ! Break radiant thro' the shades of night. And chase these clouds away ! Then shall my soul with rapture trace. The tokens of thy love : But the full glories of thy face Are only known above. 11 Grace experienced, CM. OFT hast thou, Lord, in tender love. Prevented my request, And sent thy Spirit from above. An unexpected guest : Oft, when my pray'r was scarce begun, Thou didst thy tire impart, And make thy pard'ning mercy knowii^ And Seal it on my heart. 16 17 HYMNS. 18 Why this profusion of thy grace To such a worm as me ? Father, I ask, in fix'd amaze. Explain the mystery I Why dost Thou, to a sinner's cry. Incline thy pitying ear? Thou hear'st my Advocate on high. And Avilt for ever hear. 12 Divine Manifestation in Distress. 6. 7. 8. WHEN I travail in distress, Or grief of anj^ kind, Burthen'd with uneasiness. And anguish on my mind ; One sweet ray of heav*nly light Breaks up the clouds that come between. Turns to day the gloomy night. And quite renews the scene. My complaints with speed remove, « My sorrows turn to joy ; Songs of melody and love Again my tongue employ ; Then I enter into rest. Again I call Immanuel mine : And, like John, upon his breast, My weary head recline 13 For Increase in Grace, CM. O JESUS, Jesus, my good Loiv How wondrous is thy love; Thy patience, pity, tenderness. Which I each moment prove! \7 B 19 HYMNS. 20 For Oil I how faithless is my mind, How apt to turn aside. And wander in its own deceits Of reasoning and 2>ride ! Yet, dearest Savior, love me still. The poorest and the worst ; I know where sin did once abound. Thy grace aboundeth most. Yet let me not thy grace abuse. And sin because thou'rt good ; But let thy love fill me with shame, That I this love withstood. Savior of sinners, keep me near. Nor let me turn away. From thy dear cross, and bleeding wounds. But bind me there to -stay. On me, my King, exert thy pow*r. Make old things pass away ; Create all new, and draw me still. Still nearer, every day. Lord, speak to me with thy sweet voice. And give me ears to hear; Still love, forgive, and pity me. And hear a sinner's prayer. 14 For Increase in Ch^ace. CM. OGIVE me. Savior, give me still My poverty to know ; Increase my faith, each day in grace And knowledge may I grow. Open still more the mystery Of thy dear bleeding cross; And for this precious pearl, let me Count all things else but dross. 18 21 HYMNS. 22 how transcendent is that grace, Whicli thou dost then bestow, When nothing in myself I feel, But misery and woe ; 'Tis then indeed, my gracious Lord, Tliy sulPring state I see, And thro' tliat A'^eil Nvith joy behold Thy tend'rest love to me. 1 5 The waiting Soul. CM. BREATHE from the gentle south, O Lord And clieer me from the north ; Blow on the treasures of thy word. And call the spices forth. I wish, Thou know'st, to be resigned. And wait with patient hope ; But hope delay'd fatigues the mind. And drinks the spirit up. Help me to reach the distant goal, Confirm my feeble knee ; Pity the sickness of a soul " That faints for love of Thee. Cold as I feel this heart of mine ; , Yet, since \feel\t so. It yields some hope of life divine Within, however low. I seem forsaken and alone, 1 hear the lion roar ; And ev'ry door is shut but one. And that is mercy's door. There, till the dear Deliv'rer come, I'll wait with humble pray'r ; And when he calls his exile home. The Lord shall find me there. 10 B 2 23 HYMNS. 24 lO Invitation, C. M. YE wretched, hungry, starving poor. Behold a royal feast ! Where mercy spreads her bounteous stoio For ev'ry welcome guest. See Jesus stands with open arms ; He calls, he bids you come ; Guilt holds you back, and fear alarms ; But see, there yet is room, Rooiji in the Savior's bleeding heart, Tliere love and pity meet ; Nor will he bid the soul depart. That trembles at his feet. In him the Father reconcil'd, Invites each soul to come ; The rebel shall be call'd a child. And kindly welcom'd home. O come, and with his children taste The blessings of his love ; While hope attends the sweet repast. Of nobler joys above. There, with united heart and voice. Before th' eternal throne. Ten thousand thousand souls' rejoice. In ecstacies unknown. Ten thousand times ten thousand more Are welcome still to come ; Ye longing souls, the grace adore ; Approach, there yet is room. 17 The good Fight, 104tlu ^UR God is above Men, devils, and sin ; My Jesus's io'^e. The battle shall win : O^ 25 HYMNS. 2« So terribly glorioas His coming sliall be. His love all-victorious Shall conquer for me. He all shall break through ; His truth and his grace Shall bring me into The plentiful place : Through much tribulation. Through water and fire. Til rough floods of temptation. And flames of desire. On Jesus, my pow'r. For strength I rely ; All evil before His presence shall fly ; If I have my Savior, He will not depart ; But Jesus, for ever, Shall hold fast my heart. 1 8 The Conquerers. 6, 8. BY whom was David taught To aim the dreadful blow. When he GoJiah fought. And laid the Gittite low? Nor sword nor spear the stripling took. But chose a pebble from the brook. *Twas Israel's God and King Who sent him to the tiglit ; Who gave him strength to sling. And skill to aim aright. Ye feeble saints, your strength endures, Because young David's (iod is yours. ^\ B 3 27 HYMNS. 2g Who order'd Gideon forth, To storm th* invader's camp, With arms of little worth, A pitcher and a lamp i The trumpets made his coming known. And all the host was Overthrown. Oh ! 1 have seen the day. When with a single word, God helping me to say, *' My trust is in the Lord ;" My soul has quel I'd a thousand foes. Fearless of all that could oppose. But unbelief, self-will. Self-righteousness, and pride. How often do they steal My weapon from my side I Yet David's Lord, and Gideon's friend, Will help his servants to the end. 1 9 Protecting Love, 8. WHAT tho' my frail eye-lids refuse. Continual watching to keep. And, punctual as midnight renews, Demand the refreshment of sleep, A sov'reign protector 1 liave. Unseen, yet for ever at hand ; ■Unchangeably faithful to save. Almighty to rule and command. From evil secure, and its dread, I rest, if my Savior is nigli ; i^nd songs Ids kind presence indeed. Shall in the night season supply ; 2'i 29 HYMNS. 30 He smiles, and niy comforts abound ; His grace as the dew shall descend ; And walls of salvation surround. The soul he delights to defend. Kind Author and Ground of my hope, Tliee, Thee for my God I avow ; My glad Ebenezer set up, And own Thou hast help'd nie till now ; I nuise on the years that are past. Wherein my defence thou hast prov'd ; Nor wilt thou relinquish at last, A sinner so signally lov*d. Inspirer and Hearer of pray'r, Tliou Feeder and Guardian of thine^ My all to thy covenant care I sleeping and waking resign : !f Thou art my shield and my sun. The night is no darkness to me ; And, fast as my moments roll on. They bring me but nearer to Thee. Thy mini St' ring spirits descend. To watch while thy saints are asleep : By day and by night they attend. The heirs of salvation to keep : Bright seraphs dispatched from the throne Repair to their stations assigned ; And angels elect are sent down, To guard the elect of mankind. Thy worship no interval knows ; Their fen'^our is still on the wing ; And, while they protect my repose. They chaunt to the praise of my King, 2-^ li l 31 HYMNS. 32 I too, at the season ordainM, Their chorus for ever shall join, ^nd love and adore, without end Their faithful Creator and mine. 20 On Christ's Love. 8. 7. OMY Lord ! IVe often mused On thy wondrous love to me ; How I have i\ e same abused. Slighted, disregarded Thee ! To thy church and thee a stranger, Pleas'd with what displeased thee : Lost, yet could perceive no danger ; Wounded, yet no wound could see. But unwearied Thou porsu'dst me. Still thy calls repeated came ; 1\\\ on Calvary's mount I view'd Thee, Bearing my reproach and blame : 'Then o'erwhelm'd with shame and sorrow. Whilst I view each pierced limb. Tears bedew the scourge's furrow Mingling with the purple stream. I no more at Mary wonder Dropping tears upon the grave. Earnest asking all around her. Where is he who died to save? Dying love her heart attracted ; Soon she felt his rising pow'r : He who Mary thus affected. Bids his mourners weep no more. 21 The Believer's Resolution. 8.7. SAVIOR, canst thou love a traitor? Canst thou love a child of wrath t Can a hell-deserving creature e the purchase of thy death? 33 HYMNS. 34 Is thy blood so efficacious. As to make my nature clean ? Is thy sacrifice so precious. As to free me from my sin. Sin on ev*ry hand surrounds me. No acquittance can I hear ; Pangs of unbelief confound me. Oh ! my grief I cannot bear : Here then is my resolution. At thy dearest feet to fall ; Here I'll meet with condemnation. Or a freedom from my thrall. Now deny thy grace and mercy. If thou canst, to wretched me ; Lay aside thy love and pity, If Thou canst, and let me die. If I meet with condemnation. Justly I deserve the same ; If I meet with free salvation, I will magnify thy name. 22 Worthy the Lamb, 6. 4. GLORY to God on high, Let heav'n and earth reply. Praise ye his name ! Angels his love adore. Who all our sorrows bore. And saints cry evermore, " Worthy the Lamb !• All they around the throne Cheerfully join in one. Praising his name i 25 35 HYMNS. 3g We, who have felt his blood Sealing our peace with God, Sound his dear fame abroad ; Worthy the Lanibf Join all the ransoni'd race Our Loid and God to bless : Praise ye his name ! In him we will rejoice, Making a cheerful noise. And shout, witii lieart and voice. Worthy the Lamb ! Tho' we must change our place. Yet shall we never cease Praising liis name ! To him we'll tribute bring. Hail him our gracious King, And, without ceasing, sing. Worthy the Lamb! 23 Grace, S.M. GRACE ! 'tis a charming sound. Harmonious to the ear! Heav'n with the echo shall resound. And all the eailh shall hear. Grace first contriv'd a way, 'I'o save rebellious man ; And all the steps that grace display, Which drew the wond'rous plan. 'Twas grace that wrote my name. In tliy eternal book ; 'Twas grace that gave mc to the Lamb Who all my sorrows took. 37 HYMNS. 38 Grace forc'd my wand'ring feel To tread the heav'nly road ; And new supplies each hour I meet While pressing on to God. Grace taught my soul to pray. And made my ey6s o'erflow ; *Twas grace which kept me to tliis day. And will not let me go. Grace all the work shall crown. Through everlasting days ; It lays in heav'n the topmost stone. And well deserves the praise. O let thy grace inspire My soul with strength divine ! May all my pow'rs to Thee aspire, And all my days be thine ! 24 For a renewed Heart, 8. OH Lord, how faitliless is my heart. How very apt from Thee to stray I Just like a broken bow I start, And nature strives to bear the sway : Was ever one so vile, yet bless'd : So foul, yet by the Lord caress'd ! Forbid, my Lord, each vain desire. And bind my passions to thy cross : Quench all the sparks of nature's fire. And bid me count my gain but loss : Lord Jesus, tear each Idol down. And stablish in my heart thy throne! Grace, grace shall wipe away my tears. And speak the tempest to a calm ; Shall Avarm my heart, and charm my fears.

We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs, High as the heav'ns our voices raise ; And earth with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise. Wide as the world is thy command, Vast as eternity thy love ; Firm as a rock thy truth mvst stand. When rolling years shall cease to move . 30 Wrestling Jacob. 7. NAY, I cannot let Thee go, Till a blessing Thou bestow ; Do not turn away thy face, . Mine's an urgent, pressing case. Dost Thou ask me who I am ? Ah, my Lord, thou know'st my name !

Thou hast help'd in ev'ry need. This emboldens me to plead ; After so much mercy past. Canst Thou let me sink at last? No — I must maintain my hold, *Tis thy goodness makes me bold ; 1 can no denial take. When I plead for Jesu's sake. 31 Dedication. 7.

Come, blesed Savior, to my breast. And all its love be Thine. My Lord hath seiz'd me with sweet force. His prize and purchase just : This soul of mine was never made For vanity and dust. O 'tis in vain to seek for bliss, For bliss can ne*er be found. Till we arrive where Jesus is, And tread on heav*nly ground. 'Tis heav'n on earth to taste his love.

Through much distress and pain. Through A'^arious toils of sin and death. We come with them to reign. Jesus, our glorious King, Shall wipe our tears away.

Except Jesus was Avith me. Son of God, my dearest Lord, All my crown and my reward : Thou who freely died'st for me, Shalt alone my bridegroom be. 90 Preserving Grace, L. M, WITH all my pow'rs of heart and tongue, I'll praise my Maker in my song; Angels shall hear the notes I raise. Approve the song, and join the praise. To God I cried, when troubles rose : He heard me, and subdu'd my foes : My rising fears he did control. And strength diffus'd through all my soul. Amidst a thousand snares I stand. Upheld and guarded by his hand : His words i«y fainting soul revive. And keep my d3'ing faith alive. 78 141 HYMNS. 142 Grace will complete what grace begins.

WHEN darkness long has veil'd my mind, And smiling day once more appears. Then, my Redeemer, then I find The folly of my doubts and fears. Strait I upbraid my wandering heart. And blush that I shou'd ever be So prone to act so base a part. To harbour one hard thought of Thee. let me then atJength be taught. What still I am so slow to learn. That God is love, and changes not. Nor knov/s the shadow of a turn. Sweet truth, and easy to repeat ; But when my faith is sharply tried, 1 find myself a learner yet. Unskilful, weak, and apt to slide. But Oh! my Lord, one look from Thee, Subdues the disobedient will, Drives doubt and discontent away. And thy rebellious worm is still. Thou art as willing to forgive. As I am ready to repine ; Thou therefore all the praise receive, "e shame and self-abhorrence mine. 92 Absence from God. CM.

Their daily delight shall be in thy name. They shall as their right thy righteousness claim, [thy blood. Thy righteousness wearing, and cleans'd by Bold shall they appear in the presence of God. For thou art their boast, their glory and pow'r, And I also trust to see the glad hour, My soul's new creation, a life from the dead. The day of salvation that lifts np my Itead. Yes, Lord, I shall see the bliss of thine own. Thy secret to me shall soon be made known; For sorrow and sadness I joy shall receive.

And testify that Thou Art all our righteousness and peace. For we have prov'd Thee so. While others sing the unknown God, We each will sing of Thee ; Jesus hath wash'd me in his blood. And lov'd and died for me. 134 Public Humiliation. CM. WE all the sinner's path have trod ; Like sheep we all have stray 'd : In sack-cloth let us seek to God, With dust upon our head.

Ope thy treasures ! so shall fall Unction sweet on him, on all. Till by odours scatter'd round, Christ himself be trac'd and found ; Then shall ev'ry raptur'd heart. Rich in peace and joy depart. 137 Christ our Sacrifice, S.M. NOT all the blood of beasts. On Jewish altars slain, Could give the guilty conscience peace. Or wash away the stain. But Christ, the heav'nly Lamb, Takes all our sins away : A sacrifice of nobler name. And richer blood than they. My faith would lay its hand ; On that dear head of thine. While as a penitent I stand. And there confess my sin. 112 209 HYMNS. 210 My scHil looks back to see The burden Tiiou didst bear. When hanging on th' accursed tree; And hopes her guilt was there.

Nor less to praise him when he grants Beyond what I can ask. My lab'ring spirit vainly seeks To tell but half the joy ; With how much tenderness he speaks. And helps me to reply. Nor Avere it wise, nor should I choose Such secrets to declare ; Like precious wines their taste they lose, Expos'd to open air. But this with boldness I proclaim. Nor care if thousands hear ; Sweet is the ointment of his name. Not life is half so dear. And can you frown, my former friends. Who knew what once I was ; And blame the song that thus commends The Man who bore the cross ? Trust me, I draw the likeness true, And not as fancy paints ; Such honor may he give to jou. For such have all his saints. 113 H 211 HYMNS. 212 139 Before Sermon. 7.6.7. HOLY Comforter, descend !

To life eternal live. 140 The shining Light. S. M. MY former hopes are dead. My terror now begins ; I feel, alas ! that I am dead In trespasses and sins. Ah, whither shall I fly ? I hear the thunder roar ; The law proclaims destruction nigli. And vengeance at the door. When I review my ways, I dread impending doom ; Yet sure, a friendly whisper says, ** Flee from the wrath to come." I see, or think I see, A glimmering from afar ; A beam of day that shines for me, To save me from despair. 114 213 HYMNS. 214 Fore-runner of the sun, It marks tlie pilgrim's wa^- ; I'll gaze upon it while I run.

And through this desert land Still keep us near thy side : O let our feet n( *er run astray. Nor rove, nor seek the crooked way. We'd hear our Shepherd's voice. Whose watchful eye doth keep Poor wand'ring souls among The thousands of his sheep : He feeds his flock, he calls their names His bosom bears the tender lambs. To this dear Surety's hands, My soul commend thy cause. He answers and fulfils His Father's broken laws : Believing souls now free are set. For Christ hath paid the dreadful debt. Then let our souls arise, And tread the tempter down ; Our captain leads us forth.

I^REE Grace to ev'ry heav'n-born soul Will be their constant theme ; Long as eternal ages roll. They'll still adore the Lamb. Free grace alone can wipe the tears From our lamenting eyes ; Can raise our souls from guilty fears. To joy that never dies. Free grace can death itself out-brave. And take its sting away : Can souls unto the utmost save, And them to heav'n convey. Our Savior by free grace alone His building shall complete ; He shall bring forth the topmost-stone. Midst shouts, Grace, grace to it. May I be found a living stone In Salem's streets above. And help to sing before the throne Free grace and dying love. 143 Exhortation to Praise, CM.

Weary sinner, keep thine eyes On th' atoning sacrifice ; There th' incarnate Deity, Nuinber'd with transgressors, see ; There his Father's absence mourns ; Nail'd, andbruis'd, and crown'd with thorns. See thy God, His head hang down. Hear the Man of sorrows groan ; For thy ransom there condemn'd ; Stript, derided, and blasphem'd ; Bleeds, the guiltless for th' unclean. Made an ofPring for thy sin. Cast thy guilty soul on Him ; Find him mighty to redeem ; At his feet thy burden lay ; Look thy doubts and care away ; Now by faith the Son embrace. Plead his promise, trust his grace. Lord, thy arm must be reveal'd. E'er I can by faith be heal'd ; Since I scarce can look to Thee, Cast a gracious eye on me !

Under thy wings'prolecting take, And save me for thy mercy's sake. 152 289 HYMNS. 290 Hast Thou not undertook my cause. Lord over all, to worms allied ? Answer me from that bleeding cross, Demand thy dearly ransom'd bride : And let my soul, betroth'd to Thee, Thine, wholly thine for ever be. 190 Faith^s Review and Expectation, CM AMAZING grace! how sweet the sound That sav'd a wretch like me ; I once was lost, but now am found ; Was blind, but now I see. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fea». And grace my fears reliev'd : How precious did that grace appear. The hour I first believ'd. Thro' many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come ; *Tis grace has brought me safe thus far. And grace will lead me home. Yes, when this flesh and heart shall And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess, within the veil, A life of joy and peace. 191 The good Shepherd, 8s, THOU Shepherd of Israel divine, The joy of the contrite in heart ; For closer communion they pine. Still, still to reside where Thou art. The pasture, Oh! when shall we find. Where all who their Shepherd obey Are fed, on thy bosom reclin'd, Are screen'd from the heat of the day t 153 291 HYMNS. 292 Ah I shew us that happiest place, That place of thy people's abode. Where saints in an ecstacy gaze, And hang on a crucified God. Thy love for lost sinners declare, Thy passion and death on the tree ; Our spirits to Calvary bear, To sulfer and triumph with Thee. 'Tis there with the lambs of thy flock. There only we'd covet to rest, To lie at the foot of the rock. Or rise to be hid in th3' breast : *Tis there we would alwaj's abide. And never a moment depart, Conceal*d in the cleft of thy side, Eternally held in thj-^ heart. 192 Bethesda's Pool. S.M. BESIDE the gospel pool Appointed for the poor. From year to year my helpless soul Has waited for a cure. How often have I seen The healing waters move ; A)id others, round me, stepping in. Their efficacy prove. But my complaints remain, I feel the very same. As full of guilt, and fear, and paiii. As when at first I camr. Oh would the Lord appear My malady to heal ! He knows how long I've languish'd here, And what distress I feel. How often have I thought, Why should I longer lie ? Surely the mercy I have sought Is not for such as I. 154 293 HYMNS. 29 But whither can I go ; There is no other pool . .^Wlieie streams of sov'reign virtue flow To make a sinner whole. Here then from day to day, I'll wait and hope and try ; Can Jesus hear a sinner pray. Yet sufl^r him to die ? No : he is full of grace ; He never will permit A soul, that fain would see his face. To perish at his feet. 193 Looking unto Christ. 8.7. SWEET the moments, rich in blessing,^ Which before the cross 1 spend ; Life and health and peace possessing From the sinner's dying Friend. Here I'll sit, for ever viewing, Mercy's streams in streams of blood ; Precious drops, my soul bedewing. Plead and claim my peace with God. Truly blessed is this station. Low before his cross to lie ; While I see divine compassion Floating in his ianguid eye ; Here it is I find my heaven. While upon the Lamb I gaze ; Love I much 1 I've much forgiven, I'm a miracle of grace. Love and grief my heart dividing, • With my tears his feet I'll bathe : Constant still in faith abiding, life deriving from his death. 295 HYMNS. 296 May I still enjo}' tliis feeling. In all need to Jesus go ; Prove his wounds each day more healing, And himself more deeply know! 194 The name of Jesus. CM. HOW sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear ! It sooths his sorrows, heals his wounds, And drives away his fear. It makes the wounded spirit wliole, And calms the troubled breast ; *Tis manna to the hungry soul. And to the weary rest. Dear name! the rock on which I build. My shield and hiding-place ; My never failing treasury, till'd With boundless stores of grace. Jesus! my Shepherd, Husband, Friend, My Prophet, Priest, and King ; My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, Accept the praise I bring. Weak is the effort of my heart. And cold my warmest thought ; But when I see Thee as Thou art, ril praise Thee as I ought. Till then, I would thy love proclaim With ev*ry fleeting breath ; And may the music of thy namt Refresh my soul in death. 195 Morning. S.M. TO Thee, O Lord, I give, Myself this day anew. As thy own ransom, dearlj' bought Thy spoil and purchase due ; 156 297 HYMNS. 298 That with me Thou may'st do Wluit's pleasing in thy sight; Ap.d from me take whate'er Thou wilt, Whate'er Thou see'st not right. How very weak I am Mj^ Savior well can see ; Ah ! how exceeding short I fall Of what 1 ought to be. Compassionate High-Priest, To 1 hee I must appeal ; My numberless infirmities. Oh kindly haste to heal I It is his daily care His helpless sheep to feed ; To purify their spotted souls, And tend and gently lead : Tiiis makes me firmly trust Thou*lt lead me farther still ; And guard me safe throughout the way That leads to Zion*s hill. Thou hast me, sinner poor, Snatch'd to thy heart in haste. With tend'rest mercy fetch'd me home. And grav'd me on thy breast. My business then is this. Oh may I it fulfil ! Thee to exalt with all my strength. And eye Thee only still. 196 Morning or Evening. CM, JESUS, the Savior of my soul. Be Thou my heart's delight ; Ever to me the same remain, My jf>y ^y 9 303 HYMNS. 304 oh, what a joyful meeting there, Beyond these changing shades ! White are the robes we then shall wear, And crowns upon our heads. Haste, Lord, and bring us to the day When we shall dwell at home : Come, O Redeemer, come away ; Jesus, quickly come ! 199 Affliction. 8s. ENCOMPASS'D with clouds of distress. Just ready all hope to resign, I pant for the light of thy face, And fear it will never be mine : Dishearten'd with waiting so long, 1 sink at thy feet with my load ; All plaintive I pour out my song. And stretch forth my hands unto God, Shine, Lord, and my terror shall cease ; The blood of atonement apply ; And lead me to Jesus for peace. The rock that is higher than I : Speak, Savior, for sweet is thy voice ; Thy presence is fair to behold : 1 thirst for thy Spirit with cries. And groanings that cannot be told. If sometimes I strive, as I mourn, M3' hold of thy promise to keep The billows more fiercely return, And plunge me again in the deep : While harrass'd, and cast from thy sight. The tempter, suggests with a roar, " The Lord hath forsaken thee quite ; Thy God will be gracious no more." 160 305 HYMNS. 306 Yet, Lord, if thy love hath design'd No covenant blessing for me. Ah, tell nie, how is it I find Some sweetness in waiting for Thee? Almighty to rescue Thou art; Thy grace is my only resource ; If e'er Thou art Lord of my heart, Thy Spirit must take it by force. 200 The Christianas Juurncii 8s. STRANGERS and sojourners below. We travel through tliis wilderness. Seeking the promis'd rest to know. In Christ the fountain of ti ue bliss : We seek a place beyond the skies. An everlasting paradise. In this pursuit we stand in need Of daily fresh supplies of grace ; Our souls with manna Christ nmst feed. While we his leading footsteps trace : So shall each pilgrim gladly n\ove Onward unto his home above. No earthly bliss is worth our stay. Or struggle for another breath ; These comforts vanish and decay. And yield no solid joy in death : While others, vain delights pursue, AVe taste God's love for ever new. His cross inflicts the deadly blow. And crucifies each rebel sin : Peace, love, and joy, hence richly flow* And cause sweet melody within, dependent on tlie God of poM'er, We glory in a suflfring hour.

His grace will to the end Stronger and brighter shine; Nor present things, nor things to come, Shali quench the spark divine. Fasten'd within the veil, Hope be your anchor strong ; His loving 3pirit, the sweet gale That wafts you smooth along. Or should the surges rise, And peace delay to come ; Blest is the sorrow, kind the stormj^ That drives us nearer home. The people of his choice He will not cast away ; Yet do not always here expect On Tabor's Mount to stay. 16-2 309 HYMNS. 310 Wlien we in darkness walk, Nor feel the heav'nly flame, Then is the time to trust our God,/ And rest upon his name. Soon shall our doubts and fears Subside at his coiitroul : His loving kindness shall break through The midnight of the soul. 202 Part Secof}d.

Still on his plighted love. At all events rely ; The very hidings of his face Shall train thee up to joy. Wait, till the shadows flee ; Wait, thy appointed hour : Wait, till the bridegroom of thy soul Reveals his love with power The time of love will come. When thou shalt clearly see, Not only that he shed his blood, But that it flow'd lor thee . 163 311 HYMNS. 312 Tarry his leisure then, Altho' he seem to stay ; A inoment's intercourse with him Thy grief will overpaj'^. Blest is the man, O God, That stays himself on Thee : Who wait for thy salvation, Lord, Shall thy salvation see. 203 Rent in Heaven. CM. LORD, I believe a rest remains To all thy people known ; A rest were pure enjoyment reigns, And Thou art lov'd alone. Celestial Spirit, make me know That I shall enter in ; Now, Savior, now the pow'r bestow. And wash me from my sin. Remove this hardness from my heart.

And let thy fellows, princely wise, Relate their way to Paradise. Chief minister to Gentiles sent. Once persecutor of the faith Of Christ, whose days so much were spent In doing good, describe the path Which led Thee to the shining prize. That I may trace Thee to the skies.

Yet to us Thou art near : Thou know'st our weaknesses and Avants, And list'nest to our prayer. Nor only to us art Thou nigh. But with us Thou ail one : O wondrous condescending grac«, One Spirit, flesh, and bone I What shall we say for this thy love. But \^^\v adoring lie ; And thank Thee that Thou wast a man.

The blessed Father's only Son, Chuseth a manger for his throne; And, tho' the High and Mighty God, Assumes our feeble flesh and blood. Whom earth could not contain, nor skies. In low estate the Savior lies; And who the world's foundation laid. Is now a little Infant made. The Father's brightness comes in sight. Gives to the world its saving light; And drives the clouds of sin away. To make us children of the day. The Son th' Almighty God confess'd. In his own world became a guest ; And open'd through himself the way,. A passage to eternal day. And therefore poor on earth he came. That we might all his riches claim. To make us heirs of endless bliss, With all those chosen saints of his. 321 HYMNS. 322 For us these wonders he hath wrought. To shew his love, .surpassing tliought !

Thine anger for what I have done, O Father, I mournfully bear ; But look to thy innocent Son, Who ever intreats Thee to spare. Be mindful of Jesus and me ; He sulfer'd, my pardon to buy. And what he procur'd on the tree, Demands for his people on high. 213 The Ch7'istian*s Race. L.M. AWAKE our souls, away our fears, Let ev*ry trembling thought be gone, Awake and rur the heavenly race. And put a cheerful courage on. True, 'tis a strait and thorny road, And mortal spirits tire and faint ; But they forget the mighty God, Who feeds the strength of ev'ry saint. 325 HYMNS. 326 The mighty God, whose matchless pow'r Is ever new, and ever young. And firm endures while endless years Their everlasting circles run. From Thee, the overflowing spring, Our souls shall drink a fresli supply. While such as trust their native strength Shall melt away, and droop and die. Swift as an eagle cuts the air. We'll mount aloft to Thine abode; On wings of love our souls shall fly. Nor tire amidst the heav'nly road. 214 Crucifixion, L.M. THE cross ! The cross I Oh that's my gain. Because on that the Lamb was slaiu ; *Twas there my Lord was crucified : 'Twas there my Savior for me died. What wondrous cause could move thy heart. To take on Thee my curse and smart;, Well knowing that my soul would be. So cold, so negligent of Thee? The cause was love, I sink with shame. Before my sacred Jesu's name, [be That thou should'st bleed and slaughtered Because— because Thou lovedst me. 215 Everlasting Love, 8s. NOW I have found the blessed ground Where my soul's anchor may remain, The Lamb of God, who for my sin • Was from the world's foundation slain. Whose mercy shall unshaken stay. When heaven and earth are fled away. 171 327 HYMNS. 328 O love, thou bottomless abyss ! My sins are swallow'd up in Thee ; Cover'd is my unrighteousness, From condemnation now I'm free, While Jesu's blood, through earth and skies, Merc3', free boundless mercy, cries. By faith I i)lunge me in this sea ; Here is my hope, my joy, my rest; Hither, when hell assails, I flee. And look unto my Savior's breast: Awaj^ sad doubt and anxious fear, Mercy is onlj' written there. Tho' waves and storms go o'er my head, Tho' strength and health and friends be gone, Tho' joys be wither'd all, and dead, Tho' ev'ry comfort be withdrawn ; Stedfast on this my soul relies, Father, thy mercy never dies. Fix'd on this ground will I remain. Though my heart fail, and flesh decay ; This anchor shall ray soul sustain. When earth's foundations melt away; Mercy's full power I then shall prove, Lov\l zvilh an everlasting love! 216 After Sermon 8. 7. 4.

Triumph in redeeming grace : O refresh us, Trav'ling thr«^^gh this wilderness, 172 329 HYMNS. 330 Thanks we give, and adoration. For thy gospel's joyful sound ; May the fruits of thy salvation In our hearts and lives abound ; May thy presence With us, evermore, be found.

Nothing ye in exchange shall give ; Leave all you have, and are, behind ; Frankly the gift of God receive, Pardon and peace in Jesus find. 219 Looking to Jesus, 104th.

And pour all heav'n upon our eyes. 337 HYMNS. 338 Far off thy cross we dimly view, Nor know our int'rest in thy blood ; Whilst thus our hearts thy grace pursue. Oh, let us feel the present God : Come, come like light'ning from the east. Warm, animate each drooping breast. Behold, like wax before the fire. Our melting hearts dissolve with grief; To Thee, O Lord, is our desire, From Thee alone we hope relief; Thy mercj' and thy love reveal. And let thy Spirit stamp the seal. 223 Boundless Love. L.M. HOW shall I speak my Savior's worth, Or tell the love he bears to me ? Shall I begin to sing his birth, And follow him to Calvary i Yes, this I'll tell my brethren dear.

Safe on the bosom of thy God : Thy God's thy Savior ! Glorious word ! Who sheaths th' avenger's ^litt'ring sword. As spring the winter, aay ne night, Peace, sorrow's gloom shall chase away; And smiling joy, a seraph bright, Shall tend thy steps, and near Thee stay ; Whilst glory weaves th' immortal crown, 4nd waits to claim Thee for her own. 181 347 HYMNS. 348 22S Sovereignty of Christ. 8.7.

AUTHOR of true and saving faith. That grace to me impart ; Grant me an int'rest in thy death, A new believing heart. Dismiss my griefs, my sorrows end. My reas'ning's voice control ; Approve thyself the sinner's Friend, And bless my helpless soul. Long have I sought thy peace to find. But all my search was vain. For unbelief still veil'd my mind. And dwelling, gnaw'd within. At times thy word's attracting beams Have drawn my soul above, Diflusing thro' my heart the streams Of everlasting love. Sometimes I've had a little taste. And thought thy coming nigh. But ah! the blessing did not last. The visitant pass'd by. And must I ever mourning go, A stranger to thy love? Shall I be joiu'd with saints below, And not with saints above 1 351 HYMNS. 352 Shall f beneath thy gospel stay. And hear the call of grace. And at the awful judgment day Be banish'd from thy face ?

Sweet to look inward, and attend The whispers of his love ; Sweet to look upward to the place Where Jesus pleads above. Sweet to look back, and see my name In life's fair book set down ; Sweet to look forward, and behold Eternal joys my own. Sweet to reflect, how grace divine My sins on Jesus laid ; Sweet to remember, that his blood My debt of sufPiing paid. 1}38 361 HYMNS. 362 Sweet in his righteousness to stand, Whicti saves from second death ; Sweet to experience day by day His Spirit's quickening breath. Sweet on his faithfulness to rest. Whose love can never end ; Sweet on his covenant of grace For all things to depend. Sweet in the confidence of faith. To trust his firm decrees ; Sweet to lie passive in his hands And know no will but his. If such the sweetness of the streams. What must the fountain be. Where saints and angels draw their bliss Immediately from Thee. 239 In Darkness of Soul. 8s. COME, holy, celestial Dove, And visit a sorrowful breast. My burden of guilt to remove. And bring me assurance and rest : Thou only hast pow*r to relieve A sinner o'erwhelm'd with his load. The sense of election to give, And sprinkle his heart with the blood. With me if of old Thou hast strove, And kindly withheld me from sin, Resolv'd by the force of thy love. My worthless affections to win : The work of thy mercy revive. Invincible mercy exert. And keep my weak graces alive. And set up thy rest in my heart. 180 363 HYMNS. 364 Thy call If I ever have known, And sigh'd from myself to get free. And groan'd the unspeakable groan. And long'd to be happy in Thee ; FnlUl the imperfect desire, 1 hy peace to my conscience reveal ; The sense of thy favor inspire, And give me my pardon to feel. If when I have put Thee to grief, And madly to folly return'd, Tliy goodness hath been my relief. And lifted me up as I mourn'd : Coni])assionate Spirit of grace. Relieve me again, and restore ; My spirit in holiness raise. To fail and to grieve Thee no more. . f now I lament after God, And long for a sense of thy love ; .f Jesus hath paid down his blood. To gain me a mansion above : Come, heav'nly Comforter come. Sweet witness of mercy divine ; , And make nie thy permanent home. And seal me eternally Thine. 240 Invitation, CM.

ELIJAH'S example declares, Whatever distress may betide ; The saints may commit all their cares To Him who will surely provide : When rain long withheld from the earth, Occasion'd a famine of bread. The prophet secure from the dearth. By ravens was constantly fed. More likely to rob than to feed. Were ravens who live upon prey : But Avhen the Lord's people have need. His goodness will find out a way : This instance to those may seem strange. Who know not how faith can prevail ; fiat sooner all nature shall change. Than one of God's promises fail. Vor is it a singular case. The wonder is often renew'd ; And many can say, to his praise. He sends them by ravens their food: 377 HYMNS. 378 Thus worldlings, tho' ravens indeed, Tho* greedy and selfish their mind. If God has a servant to feed. Against their own wills can be kind. Thus Satan, that raven unclean. Who croaks in the ears of the saints, Compell'd by a power unseen. Administers oft to their wants : God teaches them how to find food From all the temptations they feel. This raven, who tliirsts for my bloodj Has help'd me to many a meal. How safe and how happy are they Who on the good Shepherd rely ; He gives them out strength for their day Their wants he will surely supply : He, ravens and lions can tame, All creatures obey his command , Then let me rejoice in his name, And leave all my cares in his liana. 248 The good Physician.

And manifest thy presence here. With heav'nly food our souls refresh. To us be known in breaking bread : Tasting the symbol of thy flesh. May we on purchas'd mercy feed : Remind us how thy precious blood Was shed to seal our peace with God. 250 Sacrament. S.M.

Its thinking and aching are o'er; Tlie quiet immoveable breast Is heav'd by affliction no more The heart is no longer the seat Of trouble and torturing pain. It ceases to flutter and beat. It never shall flutter again. The lids he so seldom could close, By sorrow forbidden to sleep, Seal'd up in eternal repose, Have strangely forgotten to weep : Tiie fountains can yield no supplies. These hollows from water are free. The tears are all wip'd from these eyes. And evil they never shall see. 265 Funeral, CM. W HY do we mourn departing friends. Or shake at Death's alarms? is but the voice that Jesus sends To call them to his arms. Are we not tending upwards too, As fast as time can move ? Why should we wish the hours more slow That keep us from our love? 207 399 HYMNS. 400 Why should we tremble to convey Their bodies to the tomb ? There the dear flesh of Jesus lay, And left a sweet perfume ! The graves of all his saints he blest, And soften'd ev'ry bed ; Where should the dying members rest. But with their dying Head ? Thence he arose, ascending high. And shew'd our feet the way ; ■Jp to the Lord our flesh shall fly At the great rising day. 266 Funeral, CM. GREAT God I I own thy sentenc€ just.

The mighty Conqu'ror shall appear High on a royal seat ; And death, the last of all his foes. Lie vanquish'd at his feet. Tho' greedy worms devour my skin. And gnaw my wasting flesh ; When God shall build my bones again. He'll clothe them all afresh. Then shall I see thy lovely face With strong Imfnortal eyes.

They follow the exalted Lamb, Where'er they see him go ; And at the foostool of his grace Their blood-bought crowns they throw. Lord, let the merits of thy death To me be likewise giv'n ; And I, with them, shall shout thy praise Through all the courts of heav'n. 268 Funeral, S.M.

The Lamb for sinners slain, Perfum'd the chambers of the grave. And made ev'n death our gain. Why fear we then to trust The place where Jesus lay ? In quiet rests our brother's dust, And thus it seems to say : 'JO9 O 403 HYMNS. 404 " Forbear, my friends, to weep, " Since death hatli lost its sting : * Those christians, that in Jesus sleep, ** Our God will with Him bring." 269 Funeral. CM. NAKED as from the earth we came, And crept to life at first. We to the eartn return again. And mingle Avith our dust. The dear delights we here enjoy And fondly call our own, Are but short favors borrow'd now. To be repaid anon. 'Tis God that lifts our comforts higli. Or sinks them to the grave. He gives, and (blessed be his name !) He takes but what he gave. Peace all our angry i)assions then, Let each rebellious sigh Be silent at his sov'reign will. And ev'ry murmur die. If smiling mercy crown our lives, Its praises shall be spread. And we'll adore the justice too. That strikes our comforts dead. 270 The Spirit of Prayer. CM. SHEPHERD divine, our wants relieve, In this our evil day : To all thy tempted followers give The pow'r to trust and pray. Long as our fiery trials last. Long as the cross wc bear, Gh I let our souls on Thee be cast In never-ceasing pray'r. 210 405 HYMNS. 406 Thy Holy Spirit's praying grace Give us in faith to claim ; To wrestle, till we see thy face. And know thy hidden name. 'Till thou the Father's love impart, 'Till thou thyself bestow. Be this the cry of ev'ry heart, ** I will not let Thee go." I will not let Thee go, unless Thou tell thy name to me ; With all thy great salvation bless. And say, " I died for thee." Then let me, on the mountain-top. Behold tlly open face, 'Till faith in sight is swallowed up. And pray'r in endless praise. 271 Prayer. L.M. PRAY'R was appointed to convey The blessings God designs to give ; Long as they live should christians pray, For only while they pray they live. The christian's heart his pray'r indites, He speaks as prompted from within ; The Spirit his petition writes, And Christ receives and gives it in. And shall we in dead silence lie, When Christ stands waiting for our pray'r 1 My soul thou hast a friend on high, Arise, and try thy int'rest there. If pain afflict, or wrongs oppress. If cares distract, or fears dismaj'. It guilt deject, if sin distress, The remedy's before thee ; pray. 211 407 HYMNS. 408 Depend on Christ, thou canst not fail ; Make all thy wants and wishes known ; Fear not — His merits must prevail ; Ask wliat thou M'iit, it shall be done. 272 To the Holy Ghost. CM, COME, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire. Let u? thine influence prove ; Source of the old prophetic tire. Fountain of life and love. Come, Holy Ghost, for mov'd by Thee Tlie prophets wrote and spoke ; Unlock tlie truth, Tliyself the key ! Unseal the sacred book : Water with heav'nly devv thy word, In this appointed hour; Attend it with thy presence. Lord, And bid it come with pow'r : Open the hearts of them that hear, To make the Savior room : Now let us find redemption near. Let faith by hearing come. 273 Trinity. L.M. >LEST be the Father, and his love, ^ To whose celestial source we owe Rivers of endless joy above. And rills of comfort here below. Glory to Thee, great Son of God ! Forth from thy wounded body rolls, A precious stream of vital blood. Pardon and life for dying souls. We give the sacred Si)irit praise, Who, in our hearts of sin and woe, Makes living streams of grace arise, vnd into boundless glory flow. B' 409 HYMNS. 410 Thus God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, we adore : That sea of life, and love unknown, Without a bottom or a shore. 274 The Anchor of Hope, CM. NO more with trembling heart I Vry A multitude of things ; Still wishing to find out that point From whence salvation springs. My anchor's cast within the veil. Where I shall ever rest. From all the labors of my thoughts, And workings of my breast. What is my anchor— do you ask 1 A hope that stays the mind. Diving with mis'ry from its weight. Till firmest ground it find. What is my ground ?*tis Jesus Christ, Whom faithless eyes pass o'er ; Yet there poor sinners anchor may. And ne'er be shaken more. 27^ Salvation in Christ. S.M. THE Lord on high proclaims, His Godhead from his throne ; " Justice and mercy are the names " Whereby I will be known : *' Ye dying souls, that sit ** In darkness and distress, " Look from the bordeis of the pit ** To my recov'ring grace.** Sinners shall hear the sound. Their thankful tongues shall own, " Our righteousness and strength are found ** In Thee, O Lord, alone.'* ei3 411 HYMNS. 412 In Thee shall Israel trust, And see their guilt forgiv'n ; God shall pronounce the sinners just, And take the saints to heav'n. 27^) Christ's Compassion. CM. WITH joy we meditate the grace Of our High Priest above ; His heart is made of tenderness. His bowels melt with love. Touch'd with a sympathy within, He knows our feeble frame ; He knows what sore temptations mean, For he has felt the same. He in the daj's of feeble flesh Pour'd out his cries and tears. And in his measure feels afresh What ev'ry member bears. He'll'never quench the smoking flax. But raise it to a flame ; The bruised reed he never breaks. Nor scorns the meanest name. Then let our humble faith address His mercy and his pow'r ; We shall obtain deliv'ring grace In Che distressing hour. ^77 The Angelof the Covenant. S.M. THOU very paschal Lamb, Whose blood for us was shed ; Thro' whom we out of Egypt came. Thy ransom'd people itead. 214 413 HYMNS. 414 Angel of gospel grace.

Be Thou my good Physician, At hand to soothe my fears Oh ! let my soul expiring. On thy dear breast recline ; And be true life acquiring From that pierc'd heart of thine.

And let my limbs grow cold. The soul, on Thee believing. Goes safe to Paradise ; The body too, retrieving A purer frame, shall rise 415 HYMNS. 416 Spite of the grave's corruption I shall thy glory see ; And sing of my adoption To all eternity. 279 The Witnessing Spirit. CM. WHY should the children of a King Go mourning all their days? Great Comforter f descend and bring Some tokens of thy grace. Dost Thou not dwell in all the saints. And seal the heirs of heav'n ? When wilt Thou banish my complaints. And shew my sins forgiv'n 1 Assure my conscience of her part In the Redeemer's blood ; And bear thy witness with my heart. That I am born of God.

RICH grace, free grace, most sweetly calls Directly come, who will. Just as 3'ou are, for Christ receives Poor helpless sinners still.

Who sav'd me in the troubles past, Will save me in the next : Will save, till at my latest hour. With more than conquest blest, I soar beyond temptation's pow'r. To my Redeemer's breast. 283 Pardon for the, vilest. CM. MY sins are many, like the stars, Or sands upon the shore ; But yet the mercies of my God Are infinitely more. Manasseh, Paul, and Magdalen, Were pardon'd all by Thee ; I read it, and believe it. Lord, In mercy pardon me. 284 For Fellowship with Christ.

These are the saints belov'd of God, Wash'd are their robes in Jesu's blood More spotless than the purest white, They sliine in uncreated light. Q. Brighter than angels, lo, they shine. Their glories great, and all divine ; Tell me their origin, and say. Their order what,and whence came they? A. Thro' tribulation great they came, Theybore the cross and scorn'd the shame; Withii\ the living temple blest. In God they dwell, and on him rest. Q. And does the cross thus prove their gain And shall thej' thus for ever reign. Seated on sapphire thrones, to praise The wonders of redeeming grace 1 A, Hunger they ne'er shall feel again. Nor burning thirst shall they sustain ; To wells of living waters led. By God the Lamb for ever fed. Q. Unknown to mortal ears they sing The secret glories of their King : Tell me the subject of their lays, And whence their loud exalted praise ? A. Jesus the Savior is their theme ; They sing the wonders of his name ; To him ascribing power anji grace. Dominion and eternal praise.

Asham'd of Jesus — of that Friend On whom for heaven my hopes depend 1 It must not be — be this my shame, That I no more revere his name. Asham'd of Jesus — yes, I may. When I've no crimes to wash away : No tear to wipe, no joy to crave, No fears to quell, no soul to save. Till then, nor is the boasting vain, 'Till then I'll boast a Savior slain : And, oh ! may this my portion be — That Savior, not asham'd of me ! 300 Crozoning Jesus, CM.

"F^OW in a song of grateful praise -i-^ To my dear Lord my voice I'll raise^ With all his saints I'll join to tell, My Jesus hath done all things well. All worlds his glorious power confess. His wisdom all his works express ; Bnt, O his love ! what tongue can tell ! — My Jesus hath done all things well. How sov'reign, wonderful, and free, Has been this love to sinful me ! This pluck'd me from the jaws of hell : — My Jesus hath done ail things well. 223 431 HYMNS. 432 I spuru'd his grace, I broke his laws ; And yet he undertook my cause. To save me, though I did rebel ; My Jesus hath done all things well. And since my soul has known his love. What mercies hath he made me prove — Mercies which do all praise excel ; — My Jesus hatli done all things well. Whene'er my Savior and my God Has on me laid his gentle rod ; I know on all that has befel, My Jesus hath done all things Avell. Though many a fiery flaming dart The tempter levels at my heart ; With this I all his rage repel. My Jesus hath done all things well. Sometimes my Lord his face doth hide, To make me pray, or kill my pride : Yet then it on my mind doth dwell. My Jesus hath done all things well. Soon shall I j)ass the vale of death. And in his arms shall lose my breath ; Yet then my happy soul shall tell, My Jesus hath done all things Nvell. And when to that bright world I rise, And join the anthems in the skies ; Above the rest this note shall swell, My Jesus hath done all things well ! 302 Om7iipotence of God, L.M. THERE'S no created soul can flee The presence of a holy God; Who through eternity can see. And sways all kingdoms with his nod. 224 433 HYMNS. 434 How awful when his pow'rful hand Makes the tremendous thunder roll. Mountains and rocks can ne'er withstand The pow'r which spreads from pole to pole. Now bow to God with filial fear. High as his throne are all his ways: Ye saints, who are his special care. Repeat his name in raptur'd praise. Great is tlie Lord*s expanded arm. Large as immensity his pow'r; Sure as his throne it shall remain. When rolling years shall be no more. 303 Public Worship. G.

Zion, thrice happy place I Adorn'd with wond*rous grace, And walls of strength embrace thee round; In thee our tribes appear. To pray, and praise, — and hear The sacred Gospel's joyful sound. There David's greater Son Has fix*d his royal throne. He sits for grace and judgment there ; He makes the sinner sad. He bids the saint be glad. And humble souls rejoice with fear. 435 HYMNS. 436 May peace attend thy gate. And joy withm thee wait, Tor bless the &onl of ev'ry guest ; The man that seeks thy peace. And wishes thine increase, A thousand blessings on him rest. My tongue repeat thy vows, " Peace to this sacred lionse," For there my friends and kindred dwell. And since my glorious God Makes Thee his blest abode. My soul Sfhall ever love thee well. 304 In Affliction. CM. OTHOU from whom all goodness flows, I lilt my heart to thee ; In all my sorrows, contticts, woes. Dear Lord, remember me. When groaning on my burden'd heart. My sins lie heavily ; My pardon speak, new peace impart. In love remember me. Temptations sore obstruct my waj'^. And ills I cannot flee; O give me strength. Lord, as my day ! For good remember me. Distrest with pain, disease, and grief. This feeble body see. Grant patience, rest, and kind relief. Hear and remember me. If on my face, for thy dear name, Shame and reproaches be ; I'll hail reproach, and welcome shame. If thou reme^fesr SBe. 22(? 437 HYMNS. 438 The hour is near, consign'd to death, I own the just decree : Savior, with my last parting breath, I'll cry, remember me. 305 Rest in Heaven, L.M.

And holy, holy, holy cry 1 With all thy heav'nly hosts, with all Thy blessed saints, we then shall fall. And sing in ecstacy unknown, And praise Thee on thy dazzling throne. 306 Knowledge of Christ. L.M. TO know my Jesus crucified By far excels all things beside ; All earthly good I count but loss. And triumph in my Savior's cross. Knowledge of all terrestrial things Ne'er to my soul true pleasure brings ; No peace — but in the Son of God, No joy — but through his pard'ning blood. Oh could I know and love him more. And all his wondrous grace explore I Ne'er would I covet man's esteem, But part with all and foUoAV him. Although my trials shall increase. Ne'er may I wisli their number less ; But e'er be bold in thy grand cause. And feel my heav'n in thine applause, 227 P 2 439 HYMNS. 440 307 Resignation, CM. SUBMISSIVE to thy will, my God, I all to thee resign, And bow before thy chast'ning rod, I mourn, but not repine. Why should my foolish heart complain, ' VVliere, wisdom, truth, and love, Direct the stroke, inflict the pain. And point to rest above ; How short are all my suflPrings here. How needful ev'ry cross ! Avaunt thou unbelieving fear I* Nor call my gain my loss. Then give, dear Lord, or take away, I'll bless thy sacred name ; My Jt sus yesterday, to-day, For ever, is the same. 308 Confidence in God, CM, WHEN I can read my title clear To mansions in the skies, I bid farewell to every fear, And wipe my weeping eyes. Should earth against my soul engage. And hellish darts be hurl'd ; Then I can smile at Satan's rage. And face a frowning world. Let cares like a wild deluge come. And storms of sorrow fall ; May I but safely reaoh my home. My God, my heav'n, my all. ^ere shall I bathe my v/eary soul seas of heav'nly rest, >pt a wave of trouble roll Ns my peaceful breast. 441 HYMNS. 442 309 Joys of Heaven , L.M. O HAPPY saints who dwell in liglit. And walk with Jesus cloth'd in white, Safe landed on that peaceful shore, Where pilgrims meet to part no more. Releas'd from sin, and toil, and grief, Death was their gate to endless life ; An open cage to let them fly, And build their happy nest on high. And now they range the heav'nly plains. And sing their hymns in melting strains; And now their souls begin to prove The heights and depths of Jesu's love. They gaze upon his beauteous face, His lovely mind and charming grace, And gazing hard, with ravishM eyes. His form they catch, and taste his joys. He cheers with his eternal smile ; They sing hosannas all the while. Or, overwhelm'd with rapture sweet. Sink down adoring at his feet. Ah ! Lord, with tardy steps I creep, And sometimes sing, and sometimes weep; Yet strip me of this house of clay. And I will sing as loud as they. 310 A propitious Gale, L. M. AT anchor laid, remote from home, Toiling, I cry, sweet Spirit, come: Celestial breeze, no longer stay, But swell my sails and speed my way. Fain would I mount, fain would I glow.

Give to the Lord of lords renown ; The King of kings with glory crown ; His mercies ever shall endure, When lords and kings are known no more.

" Look to my cross/' the Savior said, " I died that thou should'st live : *' Thy sins were on my body laid, '* I peace and pardon give. ** Friend of my heart, believe, adore ; ** Enter my ijromis*d rest ; " And let dark guilt and fears no more *' Disturb that throbbing breast. *' On my bright throne I soon shall come, " Complete salvation bring ; ** And take my ransom'd people home : ** Prepare to meet your King.'* Come quickly, Lord, all praise to Thee, I've nought to apprehend ; Since in the Judge himself I see My Savior and my friend. 320 The Dying Christian. "^TITAL spark of heav'nly flame, V Quit, O quit this mortal frame. Trembling, hoping, ling'ring, flying, Oh ! the pain, the bliss of dying ! Cease, fond nature, cease thy strife, And let me langiiish into life. o3() 457 HYMNS. 458 Hark 1 I hear my Savior say, '* Come my ransom'd, come away ;" Lord, thy love o'ercomes me quite. Fills my spirit with delight: O receive me ! take my bieath, And let me come to Thee through death. The world recedes, it disappears ; Heav'n opens on my eyes — my ears With sounds seraphic ring : Jesus ! to Thee I mount, I tiy! O grave, where is thy victory 1 O Death, where is thy sting? 321 Christ's Victory over Satan, CM. HOSANNA to our conqu'ring King ! The prince of darkness flies, His troops rush headlong down to hell. Like lightning from the skies. There bound in chains the lions roar. And fright the rescu'd sheep ; But heavy bars confine their pow'r And malice to the deep. Hosanna to our conqu'ring King ! All hail incarnate love I Ten thousand songs and glories wait To crown thy head above. Thy vict'ries and thy deathless fame Thro* the wide world shall run. And everlasting ages sing The triumphs Thou hast won. 322 Jesus weeping, S.M. DID Christ o'er sinners weep. And shall our cheeks be dry * Let floods of penitential grief Burst forth from cv'iy eye. 237 459 HYMNS. 460 The Son of God in tears, Angels with wonder see ! Be thou astonished, O my soul. He shed those tears for thee I He wept that we mi^ht weep ; Each sin demands a tear ; In heav'n alone no sin is found. And there's no weeping there. 323 Review of our Ways. 8s. WHEN all my past days to review. And ponder my ways 1 begin. The farther the search I pursue, I trace but corrujjtion and sin. Soon as from the womb I was brought. My race was in evil begun. My spirit with frowardness fraught. And falsehood beguiled my tongue. To manhood from youth as I grew. My reason to passion the slave. As custom, as fashion still drew, I rush'd down the steep to the grave. My conscience, that monitor true. Remonstrates, but little avails ; The good which I would, I can't do ; The evil I would not, prevails. Then take me. Lord, such as I am. And make me just what 1 should be ; I'll take to myself all the shame. And give all the glory to Thee. 324 The Lord will provide. 104th. THO' troubles assail, and dangers afiVight, Tho' friends should all fail, and foes all unite ; Yet one thing secures us whatever betide, Tlie promise assures us thfe Lord will provide. 2:ia 461 HYMNS. 462 The birds without barn or storehouse are fed, From them let us learn to trust for our bread : His saints what is fitting shall ne'er be denied, So long as it's written, " the Lord will provide." We all may, like ships, by tempests be tost On perilous deeps, but cannot be lost: Tho' Satan enrages the wind and the tide. Yet scripture engages the Lord will provide. His call we obey, like Abra'm of old ; We know not the way, but faitJi makes us bold ; For tho' we are strangers, we have a sure guide. And trust in all dangers, the Lord will provide. When Satan appears to stop up our path. And fill us with fears, we tritimph by faith; He cannot take from us, (tho' oft he has tried,) Thisheart-clieering promise/ the Lord will provide. No strength of our own, nor goodness we claim. Our trust is all thrown on Jesus's name, In this our strong tower, for safety we hide. The Lord is our power, the Lord will provide. When life sinks apace, and death is in \ie\v. The word of his grace shall comfort us thro' ; No fearing or doubting, with Christ on our side. We hope to die shouting, " the Lord will provide." 325 Strength for the Day, L.M. AFFLICTED saint, to Christ draw near, Thy Savior's gracious promise hear ; His faithful word declares to thee. That as thy day, tlij'^ strength shall be. 239 463 HYMNS. 464 Let not thy heart despond and say, ** How shall I stand the trying day V* He has engaged by firm decree, That as thy day, thy strength shall be. Thy faith is weak, thy foes are strong, And if the conflict should be long, Thy Lord will make the tempter flee ; For as thy day, thy strength shall be. When call'd to bear the weighty cross Of sore afliictions, pain, or loss. Or deep distress, or poverty. Still as thy day, thy strength shall be. When ghastly death appears inview^, Christ's presence shall thy fears subdue ; He comes to set thy spirit free. And as thy day, thy strength shall be. 326 Divine Forbearance* 7s. LORD, and am I yet alive. Not in torments, not in hell ! Still does thy good Spirit strive ! With the chief of sinners dwell I Tell it, unto sinners tell, I am, I am out of hell. Yes, I still lift up mine eyes, Will not of thy love despair! Still in spite of sin I rise, Still I bow to thee in pray'r. Tell it, &c. O the length and breadth of love! Jesus, Savior, can it be? All thy mercy's height I prove. All the depth is seen in me Tell it, &c. C40 465 HYMNS. 466 See a bush that burns with fire, Unconsum'd amid the flame I Turn aside the sight I' admire, 1 the living wonder am I Tell it, &c. See a stone that hangs in air! See a spark in ocean live ! Kept alive Avith death so near, I to God the glory give. Ever tell — to sinners tell, I am, I am out of hell, 327 God's] Foundation, 7s. GOD'S foundation standeth sure.

We shall to the end endure 241 Q 467 HYMNS. 408 328 ^ Hiding Place. L.M. HAIL, sov'reign love, that first began The scheme to rescue fallen man! Hail matchless, free, eternal grace ! That gave my soul a hiding place. Against the God who rules the sky, I fought with hands uplifted high ; Despis'd the mention of his grace, Too proud to seek a hiding place. Enwrapt in thick Egyptian night, And fond of darkness more than light, Madly I ran the sinful race, Secure without a hiding place. But thus th' eternal council ran ; ** Almighty love, arrest that man I'* I felt the arrows of distress, And found I had no hiding place Indignant justice stood in view. To Sinai's fiery mount I flew I But justice cried with frowning face, ** This mountain is no hiding jjiace." Ere long a heav'nly voice I heaid. And mercy's angel-form appear'd ; She led me on with placid pace. To Jesus as my hiding place^ Should storms of seven-fold thunder roll. And shake the globe from pole to pole. No flaming bolt could daunt my face. For Jesus is my hiding place. On Him Almighty vengeance fell. That must have sunk a world to hell ; He bore it for his chosen race. And thus became tlieir hiding place, 2Vi 469 HYMNS. 47C A few more rolling suns at most, Will land me on fair Canaan's coast. Where I shall sing the songs of grace. And see my glorious hiding place. 329 The Joyful soimd, CM. BLEST are the souls that hear and know The gospel's joyful sound, Peace shall attend the path they go, And light their steps surround. Their joy shall bear their spirits up Thro' their Redeemer's name ; His righteousness exalts their hope. Nor Satan dares condemn. The Lord our glory and defence. Strength and salvation gives ; Israel, thy King for ever reigns. Thy God for ever lives I 330 Lord's Day, L.M. SWEET is the work, O God our King, To praise thy name, give thanks and singj To shew thy love by morning light. And talk of all thy truths by night. Sweet is the day of sacred rest. No mortal care should seize our breast ; O may our hearts in tune be found. Like David's harp of solemn sound! Our hearts shall triumph in Thee, Lord, And bless thy works, and bless thy word ; Thy works of grace how bright they shine I How deep thy counsels ! how divine i O may we see, and hear, and know. What mortals cannot reach below ; May all our powers find sweet employ la Christ's eternal world of joy. 243 471 HYMNS. 472 331 For the King S^ Royal Family. 8.8.6.
