Hymn 2. C. M. Ps. ii. 8. Zion's Increase, or the Conversion of Jews and Gentiles. 1 FATHER, is not thy promise pledg'd That through the nations of the earth, 2" Ask, and I give the heathen lands, "And to the world's remotest shores, "Thine empire shall advance." 3 Hast thou not said the blinded Jews While Gentiles to his standard crowd, [4 Are not all kingdoms, tribes and tongues, To the dominion of thy Son, Without exception given? 5 From east to west, from north to south, Europe, with all thy millions, shout 6 Asia and Africa resound, From shore to shore his fame ; And thou, America, in songs, Redeeming love proclaim!] Hymn 3. L. M. The Gospel Jubilee. 1 Loud let the tuneful trumpet sound, 2 Ye debtors, whom he gives to know, That you ten thousand talents owe, When humbled at his feet you fall, Your gracious Lord forgives them all. 3 Slaves, who have borne the heavy chain, Of sin and hell's tyrannic reign, To liberty assert your claim, And plead the great Redeemer's name. 4 The rich inheritance of heaven, Your joy, your crown is freely giv'n, Fair Salem your arrival waits, With golden streets and pearly gates. 5 O happy souls, who know the sound! God's light shall all their steps surround; And shew that jubilee begun, Which through eternal years shall run. Hymn 4. 8 lines, 7's.

Gospel Feast. 1 COME, sinners, to the gospel-feast; 2 Sent by my Lord, on you I call; Come all the world! come, sinner, thou! All things in Christ are ready now. 3 Come all ye souls by sin oppress'd, Ye restless wand'rers after rest; Ye poor, and maim'd, and halt, and blind, In Christ a hearty welcome find. 4 My message as from-God receive; Ye all may come to Christ and live; O let his love your hearts constrain, Nor suffer him to die in vain! His love is mighty to compel : Come in this moment, at his call, 1 SINNERS, obey the gospel word, And kiss his late-returning Son; Stands now the stony to remove; T' apply and witness with the blood, And wash and seal the sons of God. 4 Ready for you the angels wait, To triumph in your blest estate: Tuning their harps, they long to praise The wonders of redeeming grace. 5 The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Are ready with their shining host: All heaven is ready to resound, "The dead's alive, the lost is found!" 6 Come, then, ye sinners, to your Lord, 1 YE wretched, hungry, starving poor, Behold a royal feast! Where mercy spreads her bounteous store For every humble guest. 2 See Jesus stands with open arms, Guilt holds you back, and fear alarms, 4 Come then and with his people taste While hope attends the sweet repast There with united heart and voice, Ten thousand thousand souls rejoice 6 And yet ten thousand thousand more The Excellency of Public Worship. 1 LORD of Hosts, how lovely fair, Here on earth thy temples are! |
