Now let us walk in his commands,
And keep his holy word.

2. O may we be as shining lights,
Among the sons of men;

And may our practice witness bear,
That we've with Jesus been.

3 May we so live in peace and love,

So much Christ's image bear;

That by our fruits all men may know
We his disciples are.

4 For since 'tis at the house of God,
That judgment must begin;
May all the saints now be engag'd, '
To flee from every sin..

550 may we all in Christ be one,
Bound with the cords of love;
Till each before his glorious throne,
Shall joyful meet above.

HYMN 131. C. M..

An invitation to sinners.

OME fellow sinners now awake,
And seek for Christ the way;
And flee from sin and vanity,
The gospel now.obey.

2 For if the righteous scarce be sav❜d,,
Who serve the Lord with fear; ›
And walk in all of his commands,
O where will you appear!

3. Unless the blood of Jesus Christ, -
Doth wash your sins away,
You must in all your sins appear,

At the great judgment day.

4 Now let the aged and the youth,
The voice of God obey;

And now improve the means of grace,
Whilst it is call'd to day..

5 Now Christ with open arms doth stand,
Such sinners to receive;
That turn from their unrighteousness;
And do on him believe.

6 Then be persuaded to believe,
In Christ the living way;
And trust his mercy and his grace,
And his commands obey.

7 Then shall your souls be fill'd with love,
Your hearts with joy and peace,
And join with all the saints above,
To sing the Saviour's praise.

HYMN 132. C. M.

Pardon brought to our senses.

LORD, how divine thy comforts are,

How heav'nly is the place,

Where Jesus spreads the sacred feast
Of his redeeming grace!

2 There the rich bounties of our God
And sweetest glories shine,
There Jesus says that I am his,
And my beloved's mine.

3 Here (says the kind redeeming Lord,
And shews his wounded side)

See here the spring of all your joys,
That open'd when I di'd.

[4 He smiles and cheers my mournful heart, And tells of all his pain,

All this, said he, I bore for thee,
And then he smiles again.]

5 What shall we pay our heav'nly king
For grace so vast as this;

He brings our pardon to our eyes,
And seals it with a kiss.

[6 Let such amazing loves as these
Be sounded all abroad;
Such favors are beyond degrees,
And worthy of a God.]

To him that wash'd us,in his blood
Be everlasting praise,
Salvation, honor, glory, power,
Eternal as his days.].

HYMN 133. C. M.

Trouble, but making God a Refuge.

EAR refuge of my weary soul,

On thee, when sorrows rise,

On thee, when waves of trouble roll,
My fainting hope relies.

2 To thee I tell each rising grief,
For thou alone canst heal;
Thy word can bring a sweet relief
For every pain I feel.

3 But O! when gloomy doubts prevail,
I fear to call thee mine;

The springs of comfort seem to fail,
And all my hopes decline.

4 Yet, gracious God, where shall I flee ?
Thou art my only trust;

And still my soul would cleave to thee,
Though prostrate in the dust.

5 Hast thou not bid me seek thy face?
And shall I seek in vain?

And can the ear of sov❜reign grace
Be deaf when I complain?

6 No, still the ear of sov'reign grace Attends the mourner's prayer;

O may I ever find access

To breathe my sorrows there!

7 Thy mercy seat is open still;
Here let my soul retreat;
With humble hope attend thy will,
And wait beneath thy feet.

HYMN 134. L. M.

The Gospel is the power of God to Salvation.

W

HAT shall the dying sinner do, That seeks relief for all his woe? Where shall the guilty conscience find Ease for the torment of the mind?

2 How shall we get our crimes forgiven,
Or form our natures fit for heaven?
Can souls all o'er defil'd with sin,
Make their own powers and passions clean?

3. In vain we search, in vain we try,

Till Jesus brings his gospel nigh;

"Tis there that power and glory dwell That saves rebellious souls from hell.

N

4 This is the pillar of our hope,
That bears our fainting spirits up;
We read the grace, we trust the word,
And find salvation in the Lord,

5 Let men or angels dig the mines
Where nature's golden treasure shines;
Brought near the doctrine of the cross,
All nature's gold appears but dross.

6 Should vile blasphemers with disdain,
Pronounce the truths of Jesus vain,
We'll meet the scandal and the shame,
And sing, and triumph in his name.

HYMN 135. C. M.

Wherefore didst thou doubt. Matt. xiv. 31.

HUS the Redeemer kindly saith,

TH

When fears are round about;

Thou trembling soul of little faith,
O wherefore cost thou doubt ?

2 What though the fiery raging storm,
Attend thy path throughout;
He thy deliv'rance will perform,
Then wherefore dost thou doubt?

3 Though thou amidst the swelling wayes,
Involv'd and can't get out;
Yield not to fear-'tis Jesus saves,
Then wherefore dost thou doubt?

4 Though thou art sinking in the seas,
See his kind hand stretch'd out

To save thee and the storm appease,
Then wherefore dost thou doubt?
