5. O thou, that wouldst not have
One wretched sinner die—
Who diedst thyself, my soul to save
From endless misery ;-

6. Show me the way to shun

Thy dreadful wrath severe,

That, when thou comest on thy throne,
I may with joy appear.

Believer's Safety in the Church.

1. O, CEASE! my wandering soul,
On restless wing to roam;
All this wide world, to either pole,
Has not for thee a home.

2. Behold the ark of God!
Behold the open door!

O, haste to gain that dear abode,
And rove, my soul, no more.
3. There, safe thou shalt abide;
There, sweet shall be thy rest;
And every longing satisfied,
With full salvation blest.

S. M.

Now the accepted Time.

1. NOW is th' accepted time;
Now is the day of grace;

Now, sinners, come without delay,
And seek the Saviour's face.

2. Now is th' accepted time;

The Saviour calls to-day;
To-morrow it may be too late,

Then why should you delay?
3. Now is th' accepted time;
The gospel bids you come;
And every promise in his word
Declares there yet is room.
4. Lord, draw reluctant souls,
And feast them with thy love;
Then will the angels swiftly fly,
To bear the news above.

1. TO-MORROW, Lord, is thine,
Lodged in thy sovereign hand;
And if its sun arise and shine,

It shines by thy command."
2. The present moment flies,
And bears our life away;
O, make thy servants truly wise,
That they may live to-day.
3. Since on this fleeting hour
Eternity is hung,

Awaken, by thy mighty power,
The aged and the young.

4. One thing demands our care-
Be that one thing pursued ;
Lest, slighted once, the season fair
Should never be renewed.

5. To Jesus may we fly,
Swift as the morning light;

Lest life's young golden beams should die
In sudden, endless night.

S. M.

Inviting to Christ.

1. THE Spirit, in our hearts

Doddridge.

Is whispering, "Sinner, come !"
The bride, the church of Christ, proclaims
To all his children, " Come !"

2. Let him that heareth say

To all about him, " Come!
Let him that thirsts for righteousness,
To Christ, the fountain, come!
3. Yes, whosoever will,

O, let him freely come,

And freely drink the stream of life;
'Tis Jesus bids him come.

4. Lo! Jesus, who invites,

Declares, "I quickly come:"

Lord, even so! we wait thy hour,
O blest Redeemer, come!

S. M.

The Sinner Arrested.

1. MY former hopes are fled,
My terror now begins;
My guilty soul, alas, "is dead
In trespasses and sins."

2. Ah! whither shall I fly?
I hear the thunder roar;
The law proclaims destruction nigh,
And vengeance at the door.

3. When I review my ways,
I dread th' impending doom;

While yet some friendly whisper says,
"Flee from the wrath to come !"

4. O that I now might see
Some glimmering from afar-

Some beam of hope to dawn on me,

And save me from despair.

How beauteous are their feet, Who stand on Zion's hill!

S. M.

The Blessedness of Gospel Times.

1. HOW beauteous are their feet,
Who stand on Zion's hill!
Who bring salvation on their tongues,
And words of peace reveal!

2. How charming is their voice!
How sweet the tidings are!
"Zion, behold thy Saviour-King-
He reigns and triumphs here!"
3. How happy are our ears,
That hear this joyful sound!
Which kings and prophets waited for.
And sought, but never found!
4. How blessed are our eyes,
That see this heavenly light!
Prophets and kings desired it long,
But died without the sight! -

5. The watchmen join their voice,
And tuneful notes employ;
Jerusalem breaks forth in songs,

And deserts learn the joy.

6. The Lord makes bare his arm,
Through all the earth abroad:"
Let every nation now behold

Their Saviour and their God.

Watts.

Prayer for Success.

1. O LORD, our God, arise!

The cause of truth maintain;
And wide, o'er all the peopled world,
Extend her blessed reign.

2. Thou Prince of Life, arise!
Nor let thy glory cease;

Far spread the conquests of thy grace,
And bless the earth with peace.

3. Thou Holy Ghost, arise!

Extend thy healing wing;

And o'er a dark and ruined world

Let light and order spring,

4. Let all on earth arise;

To God the Saviour sing;

From shore to shore-from earth to heaven,
Let echoing anthems ring!

S. M.

Praise to God.

1. THY name, almighty Lord,

Presb. Coll.

Shall sound through distant lands;
Great is thy grace, and sure thy word;
Thy grace for ever stands.

2. Far be thine honor spread,

And long thy praise endure;

Till morning light, and evening shade,
Shall be exchanged no more.

Watts.
