FII. THE CHRISTIANS CHARACTER AND

GRACES.

1. AWAKENING.

Hymn 204. P. M. Why will ye die? O house of Israel! Ezek. xvü: 31:. 1. INNERS, turn, why will ye die?

God, your Maker, asks you why:
God who did your being give,
Made you with himself to live;
He the fatal cause demands,
Asks the work of his own hands;
Why, ye thaikless creatures, why
Will you cross his love and die ?

2. Sinners, turn, why will ye die?

God, your Saviour, asks you why:
God, who did, your souls retrieve,
Dy'd himself, that you might live.
Will you let him die in vain?
Crucify your Lord again?
Why, ye ransom'd sinners, why

Will you slight his grace, and die? 3. Sinners, turn, why will ye die ?

God, the Spirit asks you why:
He, who would your passions move,
Woos you to embrace his love:
Will

you not the grace receive?
Will
you

still refuse to live ? Why, ye long-sought sinners, why

Will you grieve your God, and die? 4. Dead, already dead within,

Spiritually dead in sin ;
Dead to God while here you breathe,

after second death?
Will you still in sin remain,
Greedy of eternal pain ?
O, ye dying sinners, why,
Why will you forever die ?

Pant you

Hymn 205. c. m.
I. OVERS of pleasure more than God,

For you, Christ suffer'd pain :
Swearers, for you he spilt his blood;

And shall he bleed in vain ? 2. Misers, his life for you he paid,

Your basest crimes he bore : Drunkards, on him your sins were laid,

That you might sin no more. 3. The God of love, to earth he came,

That you might come to heav'n:.

Believe, believe, on Jesu's name,

And see your sins forgiv'n.
4. Believe in him who dy'd for thee :

And sure as he hath dy'd,
Thy debt is paid, thy soul is free,

And thou art justify’d.

Hymn 206. c. m Conviction of sin by the law, Rom. vii. 8, 9, 14, 24). ORD, how secure my conscience was,

And felt no inward dread!. I was alive without the law,

And thaught my sins were dead. 2. My hopes of heav'n were firm and bright,

But since the precept came With a convincing pow'r and light;

I find how vile I am.
3. My guilt appear'd but small before,

Till terribly I saw
How perfect, holy, just and purez.

Was thine eternal law.
4. Then felt my soul the heavy load,

My sins reviv'd again.
I had provok'd a dreadful God,

And all my hopes were slain. 5. I'm like a helpless captive, sold

Under the pow'r of sin;
I cannot do the good I wouid,

Nor keep my conscience clean. 6. My God, I cry with ev'ry breath

For some kind pow'r to save.
O break the yoke of sin and death,

And thus redeem the slave.

Hymn 207. c. M. 1. ISTAKEN souls! that dream of heav'ng

And make their
Of inward joys, and sins forgiv'n,

While they are slaves to lust. 2. Vain are our fancies, airy flights,

If faith be cold and dead. None but a living pow'r unites

To Christ the living head. 3. 'Tis faith that changes all the heart;

-'Tis faith that works by love ; That bids all sinful joys depart,

And lifts the thoughts above.
4. 'Tis faith' that conquers earth and hell

By a celestial pow'r ;
This is the grace that shall prevail

In the decisive hour.

Hymn 208. c. M.
AN has a soul of vast desires,

He burns within with restless fires;
Tost to and fro his passions fly

From vanity to vanity.
2. In vain on earth we hope to find

Some solid good to fill the mind ;
We try new pleasures, but we feel

The inward thirst and torment still. 3. So when a raging fever burns,

We shift from side to side by turns :
And 'tis a poor relief we gain,

To change the place, but keep the pain. 4. Great God! subdue this vicious thirst,

This love to vanity and dust ;
Cure the vile fever of the mind,
And feed our souls with joys refin'd.

Hymn 209. L: M.
The humble enlightened, and carnal reason humtled;

Luke x. 21, 22.
1. THERE was an hour when Christ rejoic’d,

And spoke his joy in words of praise : “Father, I thank thee, mighty God,

“Lord of the earth, and heav'ns and seas. 2. “I thank thy sov'reign pow'r and love,

“That crowns my doctrine with success :
“ And makes the babes in knowledge learn

“The height, and breadth and length of grace. 3. “But all this glory lies conceald,

« From men of prudence and of wit;
« The prince of darkness blinds their eyes,

6 And their own pride resists the light. 4.“ Father 'tis thus, because thy will

“Chose and ordain'd it should be so ; "'Tis thy delight tabase the proud, “And lay the haughty scorner low.

Hymn 210. c. M.
1. HATE the tempter and his charms,

I hate his flatt'ring breath ;
The serpent takes a thousand forms,

To cheat our souls to death.
2. He feeds our hopes with airy dreams,

Or kills with slavish fear;
And holds us still in wide extremes,

Presumption or despair.
3. Now he persuades: “ How easy 'tis

" To walk the road to heav'n;" Anon he swells our sins, and cries :

They cannot be forgiv'n.” 4. He bids

young
sinners

yet forbear
“ To think of God or death;
