HYMN 108. L. M. Babylon. [b]

The Sinner weighed, and found wanting. Dan. iv. 27.

1RAISE, thoughtless sinner, raise thine eye

Behold God's balance lifted high!

There shall his justice be displayed,

And there thy hope and life be weighed.

2 See in one scale his perfect law;
Mark with what force its precepts draw;

e Would'st thou the awful test sustain?-
d Thy works how light! thy thoughts how vain!
-3 Behold the hand of God appears,

To trace those dreadful characters; d "Tekel-thy soul is wanting found,

"And wrath shall smite thee to the ground." e 4 Let sudden fear thy nerves unbrace; Let horror shake thy tottering knees; p Through all thy thoughts let anguish roll, And deep repentance melt thy soul. -5 One only hope may yet prevailChrist has a weight to turn the scale; o Still does the gospel publish peace, And show a Saviour's righteousness. -6 Great God, exert thy power to save; Deep on the heart these truths engrave; The ponderous load of guilt remove, That trembling lips may sing thy love.

HYMN 109. 7s. Fairfax. [b]
Sinner, prepare to meet God!

SINN

INNER, art thou still secure?
Wilt thou still refuse to pray?
Can thy heart or hand endure,
In the Lord's avenging day?

d 2 See, his mighty arm is bared;
Awful terrors clothe his brow!
e For his judgment stand prepared-
Thou must either break or bow.
g 3 At his presence nature shakes,
Earth affrighted hastes to flee;
Solid mountains melt like wax:
p What will then become of thee!

e 4 Who his advent may abide?
-You who glory in your shame,
Will you find a place to hide,
When the world is wrapped in flame?
5 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.
6 Let us now our day improve,
Listen to the gospel voice;
Seek the things that are above;
Scorn the world's pretended joys.

HYMN 110. C. M. Bishopsgate. [b]
Sinners entreated to forsake their Ways. Isa. lv. 7.
1 SINNERS, the voice of God regard;
His mercy speaks to-day;

-He calls you by his sovereign word,
From sin's destructive way.

2 Like the rough sea that cannot rest,
You live devoid of peace;

A thousand stings within your breast,
Deprive your souls of ease.

o 3 Why will you in the crooked ways
Of sin and folly go?

In pain you travail all your days,
To reap immortal woe!

o 4 But he who turns to God shall live,
Through his abounding grace:
His mercy will the guilt forgive
Of those who seek his face.

-5 Bow to the sceptre of his word,
Renouncing every sin;

Submit to him, your sovereign Lord,
And learn his will divine.

o 6 His love exceeds your highest thoughts;
He pardons like a God:

o He will forgive your numerous faults Through a Redeemer's blood.

Sinners entreated to hear.

SINNERS, will you scorn the message,
Sent in mercy from above?

e Every sentence-O how tender!
-Every line is full of love;
Listen to it-

a

o Every line is full of love.

-2 Hear the heralds of the gospel
News from Zion's King proclaim,
0 To each rebel sinner-" Pardon,
"Free forgiveness in his name."
How important!

e

d Free forgiveness in his name!

--3 Tempted souls, they bring you succour;
Fearful hearts, they quell your fears;
And with news of consolation,

e

Chase away the falling tears:

Tender heralds

o Chase away the falling tears.

e

-4 False professors, grovelling worldlings, Callous hearers of the word,

While the messengers address you,

Take the warnings they afford;

We entreat you,

d Take the warnings they afford.
e 5 Who hath our report believed?
Who received the joyful word?

P

Who embraced the news of pardon,
Offered to you by the Lord!
Can you slight it-

Offered to you by the Lord!

-6 O, ye angels, hovering round us, Waiting spirits, speed your way,

0 Hasten to the court of heaven, Tidings bear without delay:

S

Rebel sinners

Glad the message will obey.

Burdened Sinners invited to Christ. Matt. ix. 23.

COME, ye weary souls oppressed,

Find in Christ the promised rest;

On him all your burdens roll,

He can wound, and he make whole.

2 Ye who dread the wrath of God,
Come and wash in Jesus' blood:
To the Son of David cry;
In his word he's passing by.

3 Naked, guilty, poor, and blind,

All your wants in Jesus find;

This the day of mercy is,

Now accept the proffered bliss.

HYMN 113. 8s & 7s. Calvary. [b] Suppliant Address to the Saviour. Mark x. 43. ESUS, full of all compassion,

JES

Hear thy humble suppliant's cry;
Let me know thy great salvation;
See, I languish, faint, and die.
e 2 Guilty, but with heart relenting,
Overwhelmed with helpless grief-
Prostrate at thy feet repenting-
Send, O send me quick relief!
e 3 Whither should a wretch be flying,
But to him who comfort gives?
Whither, from the dread of dying,
But to him who ever lives?

-8 On the word thy blood hath sealed,
Hangs my everlasting all;
Let thine arm be now revealed,
Stay, O stay me, lest I fall!

e 9 In the world of endless ruin,
Let it never, Lord, be said,

d "Here's the soul that perished, suing "For the boasted Saviour's aid!'

o 10 Saved the deed shall spread new glory Through the shining realms above;

s Angels sing the pleasing story, All enraptured with thy love.

Vision of the Dry Bones. Ezek. xxxiv. 3. 1LOOK down, O Lord, with pitying eye,

See Adam's race in ruin lie;

Sin spreads its trophies o'er the ground,
And scatters slaughtered millions round.
e 2 And can these mouldering corpses live?
And can these perished bones revive?
-That, mighty God, to thee is known;
That wondrous work is all thy own.
3 Thy ministers are sent in vain,
To prophesy upon the slain-
