2 Come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome, God's free bounty glorify: True belief and true repentance, Every grace that brings us nighWithout money, Come to Jesus Christ and buy. 3 Let not conscience make you linger, Nor of fitness fondly dream ; All the fitness he requireth, Is to feel your need of him ; This he gives you; 'Tis his Spirit's rising beam. 4 Come, ye weary, heavy laden, Lost and ruin'd by the fall ! You will never come at all. On the ground your Maker lies, Hear him cry before he dies, “ It is fixisi'D :" Sinners, will not this suffice ? 6 Lo! the incarnate God, ascended, Pleads the merit of his blood; Let no other trust intrude. Sing the praises of the Lamb ; Sweetly echo with his name. HYMN 57. C. M. Escpostulation with Sinners. From sin's destructive way. You live devoid of peace ; Deprive your souls of ease. Why will you persevere ? Shut up in black despair ? Of sin and folly go? To reap immortal woe. Thro' his abounding grace ; His mercy will the guilt forgive, Of those that seek his face. Renouncing every sin ; And learn his will divine. 17 His love exceeds your highest thoughes, He pardons like a God; lle will forgive your num'rous faults, Thro' a Redeemer's blood. HYMN 58. C. M. T How high thy wonders rise ! By thousands thro' the skies. To save rebellious worms, In their divinest forms ; We love and we adore ; The first archangel never saw So much of God before. Nor dares a creature guess, The justice or the grace. Adorn the heav’nly plains ; And try their choicest strains. In that immortal song! HYMN 59. L. Y. Death and Resurrection of Christ. m o break the chains of sin and death, 1 Our glorious Jesus yields his breath ; How strange the conqirest, strange to tell! By death he conquers death and hell. 2 While standing in the sinners stead, Billows of wrath roll o'er his head ; Light from the Father is withdrawn, And Jesus drinks the cup alone. 3 Legions of angels fill the skies, Wbile our Redeemer bleeds and dies ; All nature reels beneath the load, And trembling speaks the wrath of God. 4. The rocks are with convulsions torn, And all the heavens in sackcloth mourn ; But lo! when the third morning comes, Emmanuel rising, leaves the tombs. 5 The rising God, let angels sing, The heav'ns with Hallelujahs ring ; “ Worthy the Lamb, who once was slain, Let him in pow'r and glory reign.” 6 Hail happy morn, which sees him rise ; We shout him welcome to the skies ; Welcome to glories all his own, And welcome to his Father's throne. HYMN 60. C. M. The Heart new created. Creating all things new. From my own state of sin ; Create new pow’rs within. And form my heart afresh ; Give me new passions, joys, and fears, And turn the stone to flesh. From sin, and earth, and hell ; HYMN 61. L. M. Heb. x. 39. N Can Adam's sons arrive at heav'n ; HYMN 62. L. M. Mic. vi. 6-8. Or bow myself before thy face ? |
