6 Expand my heart-incline me, Lord, 1 WE HYMN 117. L. M. Charity. HEN Jesus dwelt in mortal clay, 3 That man may breathe, but never lives, 4 But he, who marks from day to day, HYMN 118. C. M. Charity. ESUS, my Lord, how rich thy grace! How shall I count the matchless sum? High on a throne of radiant light hat can my poverty bestow, 3 But thou hast brethren here below, And wilt confess their humble names 4 In them thou may'st be clothed and fed, And visited and cheer'd; And in their accents of distress, 5 Thy face, with rev'rence and with love, We in thy poor would see; O let us rather beg our bread HYMN 119. L. M. WHAT stupendous mercy shines Around the majesty of heav'n! Rebels he deigns to call his sons, Their souls renew'd, their sins forgiv❜n. 2 Go, imitate the grace divine, The grace that blazes like a sun; Hold forth your fair, tho' feeble light, Thro' all your lives let mercy run. 3 Upon your bounty's willing wings, Swift fly your gifts and charity; The hungry feed, the naked clothe, To pain and sickness help apply. 4 Pity the weeping widow's woe, And be her counsellor and stay; Adopt the fatherless, and smooth To useful, happy life, his way. 5 Let age, with want and weakness bow'd, Your bowels of compassion move; Let e'en your enemies, be bless'd, Their hatred recompens'd with love. 6 When all is done, renounce your deeds, Renounce self-righteousness with scorn; Thus will you glorify your God, And thus the Christian name adorn. HYMN 120. C. M. Charity. FATHER of mercies send thy grace, All pow'rful from above, To form, in our obedient souls, 3 Not like the Levite and the Priest, 4 When the most helpless sons of grief Soft be our hearts, their pains to feel, 5 So Jesus look'd on dying man, When thron'd above the skies; 6 On wings of love the Saviour flew 1 B Charity. LEST is the man whose heart expands And the rich blessings of whose hands, Like heav'nly manna fall. 2 Mercy descending from above, O may each tender bosom move, When mercy 3 Be ours the bliss in wisdom's way And lead the mind, that went astray, 4 Children our kind protection claim, When infants learn to lisp his name, 5 Delightful work, young souls to win, 6 Almighty God, thy influ❜nce shed 1 The honours of thy name be spread, HYMN 122. P. M. Charity. TOW let our hearts conspire to raise NA A cheerful anthem to his praise, Who reigns enthron'd above: Let music, sweet as incense, rise, 2 How many children, Lord, we see Shall they continue still to lie We cannot bear the thought. 3 We feel a sympathising heart: 1 HYMN 123. C. M. Funeral hymn.-Death dreadful, or delightful. EATH! 'tis a melancholy day To those that have no God; When the poor soul is forc'd away D' To seek her last abode. 2 In vain to heav'n she lifts her eyes; But guilt, a heavy chain, Still drags her downward from the skies, To darkness, fire and pain. 3 Awake and mourn, ye heirs of hell, Ye stubborn sinners fear! Lest ye be driv'n from earth, and dwell See how the pit gapes wide for you, |
