Without intermission roll;
Wrath vindictive

Overwhelms the guilty soul.

See yon sun, how swift he hasteth
Through the circuit of the skies;
How your golden moments wasteth
Sinners, pray at length be wise
O! he's sitting,

And may set no more to rise.
5 See how fast your time is flying;
Will ye sinners yet delay ?
One is gone, another's dying,
O! to God for mercy pray:
Time is precious,

[ocr errors]

God may next call you away.
6 Now's the time for preparation,
While the vital air you breathe
God is offering you salvation,
Calls you yet to turn and live;
Boundless mercy;

All who comes he will receive.
7 See the precious blood of Jesus,
Streaming from the cursed tree!
Will not this suffice to grieve us?
Jesus spilt his blood for me!
Come then sinners,
And his great salvation see.

HYMN 17. P. M.

10 HEARKEN, sinners, we have cause

To warn you of your danger;

We pray be reconcil'd to him,

Who once lay in a manger.

Ho! every one that thirsts,

Come ye to the waters,

Freely drink and quench your thirst,
Ye Zion's sons and daughters.

2 The awful God who made your soul,
And all the world around yon.

Doth charge you with ten thousand crnnos, But hateth to confound you.

3 O seek the circumcising grace,

Be wise, do not refuse it,

For if you seek your life to save,
You will be sure to lose it.

4 The cross of Christ you have to bear,
Fearless of persecution,

Or groan you will when time shall cease,
In darkness and confusion.

5 Come all ye humble weeping souls,
Who long to be forgiv'n,
We bring glad tidings unto you,
From the good Lord of heav'n.

6 There is a fountain deep and wide,
For sin and all uncleanness,

Come drink and wash, and be made white, And prove the gospel fulness.

7 O! see the crowd that's trav'ling on,
In paths of self-denial;

They march along the banks of love,
And long for your arrival.
8 Shall unbelief debar you from
The knowledge of your Saviour?
Belleve, and you'll be justitied:
Believe and live for ever.

9 I'm not surpris'd that saints do sing,
Or angels shout and wonder
I would sing glory! if I could,
As loud as mighty thunder.

10 My night of sin and grief is gone,
My soul is filled with glory:

O for a thousand tongues to tell
Love's animating story.

11 Let heav'n and earth with me unite,
And sing and shout hosanna;
The Lord has pardon'd all my sins,
And fill'd my soul with manna.

HYMN 18. P. M.

THE voice of free grace

Cries escape to the mountain;

'or Adam's lost race,

Christ hath open'd a fountain.

For sin and transgression,
And every pollution,

His blood flows most freely
In streams of ablution.

Hallelujah to the Lamb,

Who has purchased our pardon,
We will praise him again,
When we pass over Jordan.

2 That fountain so clear,

In which all may find pardon,
From Jesus's side

Flows plenteous redemption;
Though your sins were increased
As high as a mountain,
His blood it flows freely:
O come to the fountain.

3 Blest Jesus, ride on,

Thy kingdom is glorious, O'er sin, death, and hell,

Thou wilt make us victorious.

Thy name shall be praised,
In the great congregation,
And saints shall delight
In ascribing salvation.

4 When on Zion we stand,

Having gain'd the blest shore,
With our harps in our hands,
We will praise him evermore;
We'll range the blest fields,
On the banks of the river,
And sing hallelujahs

For ever and ever.

HYMN 19. P. M.

SINNER, art thou still secure?
Wilt thou still refuse to pray?
Can thy heart or hands endure
In the Lord's avenging day?
See his mighty arm made bare.
Awful terrors clothe his brow!
For his judgment now prepare,
Thou must either break or how.

2 At his

ence nature shakes,
Earta aghted hastes to flee;
Solid mountains melt like wax,
What will then become of thee?
Who his coming may abide?

You that glory in your shame,
Will you find a place to hide

When the world is wrapt in flame?
3 Then the great, the rich, the wise,
Trembling, guilty, self-condemned,
Must behold the wrathful eyes

Of the Judge they once blasphemed.
Where are now their haughty looks?
O! their horror and despair,
When they see the opened books,
And their dreadful sentence hear!

4 Lord, prepare us by thy grace

Soon we must resign our breath,
And our souls be called to pass
Through the iron gate of death.
Let us now our day improve,
Listen to the gospel voice;
Seek the things that are above;
Scorn the world's pretended joys.
5 O when flesh and heart shall fail
Let thy love our spirits cheer,
Strengthen'd thus, we shall prevail
Over Satan, sin, and fear;
Trusting in thy precious name,
May we thus our journey end;
Then our foes shall lose their aim,
And the Judge will be our friend.

HYMN 20. L. M.

LADEN with guilt, sinners arise,
And view yr bleeding sacrifice;
Each purple drop proclaims there's room,
And bids the poor and needy come.

2 Beneath your crimes the victim stood,
Sign'd your acquittances in blood,
Bereby stern justice is appeas'd;
Sinners look up and be releas'd.

3 Mercy, truth, peace, and righteousness,
Beam from the Reconciler's face,

Here look, till love dissolves your heart,
And bids your slavish fears depart.

4 O quit the world's delusive charms,
And quickly fly to Jesu's arins;
Wrestle until your God is known,
Till you can call the Lord your own.
HYMN 21. P. M.

1

SINNERS, the warning hear,

And haste to Jesu's arms,
Where love and grace appear

In all their heav'nly charms;
No longer from his mercy roam,
But flee the dreadful wrath to come.

2 Long have you liv'd in sin,
And priz'd the joys of earth,
Too long delighted been

With vanity and mirth:

No longer now from Jesus roam,
But fly, O fly from wrath to come.

3 Hark! 'tis the Saviour's voice,
His promises invite:

O make his grace your choice,
His name your chief delight.
O may you seek the heavenly home,
Ard flee the dreadful wrath to come.

4 No longer ling'ring stand,

1

On Sodom's sinful plains;
Destruction 's near at hand,
And everlasting pains

No longer from the Saviour roam,
But flee the dreadful wrath to come.

HYMN 22. P. M.

COME, O my neart, and let us take

An evening walk becoming thee,

Now whither dost thou choose, we shall take our

course,

Up to Calvary or Gethsemane ?
