2 But we who now thy grace implore, For if thy justice shut the door, HYMN 227. P. M. The Deceitfulness of the Heart. How often, Lord, have I believed Myself instead of Thee; Ten thousand, thousand times deceived In every victory of grace I thought the conflict o'er; 2 But O, how desperately proud If now I feel it not within, 3 Yet surely, Lord, I may expect Thine image stamp'd on thine elect, The will, in that appointed day, Thrust out the foe, its relics slay, 4 The sanctifying word is sure; Shall make me free indeed, and pure, Then shall my heart no more deceive, Whate'er I am, to thee I leave, זי HYMN 228. C. M. Hope in the End. TAKE thee at thy gracious word; Let it accomplished be, According to thy promise, Lord, In death remember me; 2 O seal it-seal it on my heart And when I life resign, 1 1 My hope, if in the end thou art, HYMN 229. P. M. For domestic Worship. PEACE be to this habitation; Peace to all that dwell therein; Peace divine, that lasts for ever, HYMN 230. P. M. God Unsearchable. SHALL foolish, weak, short-sighted man Beyond archangels go, The great Almighty God explain, Or to perfection know? His attributes divinely soar, And prostrate seraphim adore 2 Jehovah's everlasting days, Thy wisdom's depths by reason's line Or stretch our labouring thought t' assign, 3 The brightness of thy glory leaves Nor man, nor angel's heart conceives They gaze, but cannot count or tell, HYMN 231. S. M. The Fall. HE saw; she took; she ate; 2 But all mankind, restored, 3 Jesus, thou art a tree That makes the foolish wise, And safely we may feed on thee, And feast both heart and eyes. 4 Wisdom divine thou art, Received through faith alone; And when thou dost thyself impart, We know as we are known. HYMN 232. P. M. Pleasure-takers warned. STAY, thou too happy sinner, stay, Smooth-gliding down the flowery way The broad frequented road; Gay wretch, that dost in pleasure live 2 When death doth soul and body part, HYMN 233. P. M. Late Repentance. 1T The summer of my comforts fled, HE harvest of my joys is past, Yet I am unredeemed at last, And sink unsaved among the dead, 1 HYMN 234. C. M. D. Self-deceivers. HE men who slight thy faithful word THE These are the temple of the Lord, And heathen all beside. The temple of the Lord are these, Who live in pomp, and wealth, and ease, 2 The temple of the Lord-they pull And cast out every gracious soul, The church-they from their pale expel, And all the synagogue of hell Are the sole heirs of hea en. 3 O wouldst thou, Lord, reveal their sins, And turn their joy to grief, 1 The world, the Christian world, convince The formalists confound, convert, And break and fill the broken heart, HYMN 235. C. M. The Communion of Saints. THE saints on earth and those above TH But one communion make, Join'd to their Lord in bonds of love, 2 One family, we dwell in Him, Though now divided by the stream, 3 One army of the living God, Part of the stream has crossed the flood, And part are crossing now. 4 Lo! thousands to their endless home And we are to the margin come, 5 Lord Jesus! be our constant guide! HYMN 236. L. M. It is appointed unto all men once to dis. 1 THE sentence passed on Adam's race, TImeekly to myself receive, And thank thee for the warning grace,. That here I have not long to live 2 I hasten to my real home; For no reprieve nor respite cry; But when the fatal hour is come, My only business be, to die. |
