2. He comes, arrayed in burning flames;
Justice and vengeance are his names;
Behold his fainting foes expire,
Like melting wax before the fire.

& He rides and thunders thro' the sky;
His name, Jehovah, sounds on high;
Sing to his name, ye sons of grace;
Ye saints, rejoice before his face.

4. The widow and the fatherless,
Fly to his aid in sharp distress;
In him the poor and helpless find
A Judge that's just, a Father kind.

5. He breaks the captive's heavy chain,
And prisoners see the light again;
But rebels, who dispute his will,
Shall dwell in chains and darkness still.

God's Majesty.

[Ps. 93. v.

1. THE floods, O Lord, lift up their voice,
The mighty floods lift up their roar;
The floods in tumult loud rejoice,
And climb in foam the sounding shore.

2. But mightier than the mighty sea,

The Lord of glory reigns on high;
Far o'er its waves we look to thee,
And see their fury break and die.

3. Thy word is true, thy promise sure, That ancient promise, sealed in love; Here be thy temple ever pure,

As thy pure mansions shine above.

1. WHо shall the Lord's elect condemn { "Tis God that justifies their souls, And mercy, like a mighty stream, O'er all their sins divinely rolls.

2. Who shall adjudge the saints to hell? "Tis Christ that suffered in their stead; And, the salvation to fulfill,

Behold him rising from the dead!

3. He lives! he lives! and sits above, Forever interceding there:

Who shall divide us from his love,

Or what should tempt us to despair?

4. Faith hath an overcoming power;
It triumphs in the dying hour;
He that hath loved us bears us through,
And makes us more than conquerors too.

5. Not all that men on earth can do,
Nor powers on high, nor powers below,
Shall cause his mercy to remove,

Or wean our hearts from Christ, our love.

For the Spread of the Gospel. [Hy. 447.
1. SOVEREIGN of worlds! display thy power,
Be this thy Zion's favored hour!
Bid the bright morning-star arise,
And point the nations to the skies.

2. Set up thy throne where Satan reigns,
On Afric's shore, on India's plains,
On lonely isles and lands unknown;
And make the nations all thine own.

3. Speak! and the world shall hear thy voice:
Speak! and the desert shall rejoice;
Scatter the gloom of heathen night,
And bid all nations hail the light.

in heaven.

1. THE heavens declare thy glory, Lord,
In every star thy wisdom shines:
But when our eyes behold thy word,
We read thy name in fairer lines.

2. The rolling sun, the changing light,

And nights and days thy power confess; But the blest volume thou hast writ, Reveals thy justice and thy grace.

3. Sun, moon, and stars, convey thy praise Round the whole earth, and never stand: So, when thy truth began its race,

It touched and glanced on every land.

4. Nor shall thy spreading gospel rest,

Till through the world thy truth has run;
Till Christ has all the nations blessed
That see the light, or feel the sun.

5. Great Sun of righteousness, arise;

Bless the dark world with heavenly light; Thy gospel makes the simple wise, Thy laws are pure, thy judgments right. 6. Thy noblest wonders here we view,

In souls renewed, and sins forgiven; Lord, cleanse my sins, my soul renew, And make thy word my guide to heaven.

1. HIGH in the heavens, eternal God,
Thy goodness in full glory shines;
Thy truth shall break through every cloud
That veils and darkens thy designs.

2. Forever firm thy justice stands,

5.

As mountains their foundations keep;
Wise are the wonders of thy hands;
Thy judgments are a mighty deep.
Thy providence is kind and large;
Both man and beast thy bounty share:
The whole creation is thy charge,

But saints are thy peculiar care.

My God! how excellent thy grace,
Whence all our hope and comfort springs!
The sons of Adam, in distress,

Fly to the shadow of thy wings.

From the provisions of thy house
We shall be fed with sweet repast:
There mercy like a river flows,

And brings salvation to our taste. 6. Life, like a fountain rich and free,

Springs from the presence of my Lord;
And in thy light our souls shall see
The glories promised in thy word.

1. YE sons of Adam, vain and young,
Indulge your eyes, indulge your tongue;
Taste the delights your souls desire,
And give a loose to all your fire.
2. Pursue the pleasures you design,

And cheer your hearts with songs and wine;
Enjoy the day of mirth; but know,
There is a day of judgment too.

3. God from on high beholds your thoughts,
His book records your secret faults;
The works of darkness you have done,
Must all appear before the sun.
4. Almighty God, turn off their eyes
From these alluring vanities,
And let the thunder of thy word
Awake their souls to fear the Lord.

1. My gracious Lord, I own thy right
To every service I can pay;
And call it my supreme delight
To hear thy dictates and obey.
2. What is my being, but for thee,
Its sure support, its noblest end?
I live thy smiling face to see,

And serve the cause of such a friend. 3. I would not breathe for worldly joy,

Or to increase my worldly good, Nor future days or powers employ To spread a sounding name abroad. 4. Tis to my Saviour I would live;

To him who for my ransom died; Nor could the bowers of Eden give Such bliss as blossoms at his side. 5. His work my hoary age shall bless, When youthful vigor is no more; And my last hour of life confess His dying love's constraining power.

For the Lord's Supper. [Hy. 550. 1. Ar thy command, O Lord, our hope, We come around thy table here; We break the bread, we bless the cup That show thy death till thou appear. 2. Our faith adores thy bleeding love, And trusts for life in one that died; We hope for heavenly crowns above, From a Redeemer crucified.

3. Let the vain world pronounce it shame, And cast their scandals on thy cause! We come to boast our Saviour's name, And make our triumph in his cross.

4. With joy we tell the scoffing age,"He that was dead hath left his tomb; He lives above their utmost rage,

And we are waiting till he come."

197. Prayer for the Children of the [Hy. 635.

Church.

Praise him

9

1. How long, O Lord, shall I complain,
Like one that seeks his God in vain?
Wilt thou thy face forever hide?
Shall I still pray and be denied?

2. Shall I forever be forgot,

As one whom thou regardest not?
Still shall my soul thine absence mourn,
And still despair of thy return?

8. How long shall my poor troubled breast
Be with these anxious thoughts oppressed?
And Satan, my malicious foe,
Rejoice to see me sunk so low?

4. Hear, Lord, and grant me quick relief,
Before my death conclude my grief;
If thou withhold thy heavenly light,
I sleep in everlasting night.

5. How will the powers of darkness boast
If but one praying soul be lost!
But I have trusted in thy grace,
And shall again behold thy face.

6. Whate'er my fears or foes suggest,
Thou art my hope, my joy, my rest;
My heart shall feel thy love, and raise
My cheerful voice to songs of praise.

1. O THOU, that hear'st when sinners cry,
Though all my crimes before thee lie,
Behold them not with angry look,
But blot their memory from thy book.

2. Create my nature pure within,
And form my soul averse to sin;
Let thy good Spirit ne'er depart,
Nor hide thy presence from my heart.

3. I cannot live without thy light,
Cast out and banished from thy sight;
Thy holy joys, my God, restore,
And guard me, that I fall no more.

4. Though I have grieved thy Spirit, Lord,
His help and comfort still afford:
And let a wretch come near thy throne,
To plead the merits of thy Son.

5. A broken heart, my God, my King,
Is all the sacrifice I bring:

The God of grace will ne'er despise
A broken heart for sacrifice.

6. My soul lies humbled in the dust,
And owns thy dreadful sentence just:
Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye,
And save the soul condemned to die.

7. Then will I teach the world thy ways; Sinners shall learn thy sovereign grace; I'll lead them to my Saviour's blood, And they shall praise a pardoning God. 8. O, may thy love inspire my tongue! Salvation shall be all my song; And all my powers shall join to bless The Lord, my strength and righteousness. 200. The accepted Time. [Ps. 88. iii. 1. WHILE life prolongs its precious light, Mercy is found, and peace is given; But soon, ah soon! approaching night Shall blot out every hope of heaven. 2. While God invites, how blest the day! How sweet the gospel's charming sound! Come, sinners, haste, O haste away,

While yet a pardoning God he's found.

3. Soon, borne on time's most rapid wing,

Shall death command you to the grave; Before his bar your spirits bring,

And none be found to hear, or save.

4. In that lone land of deep despair,

No Sabbath's heavenly light shall rise;
No God regard your bitter prayer,
Nor Saviour call you to the skies.

5. No wonders to the dead are shown-
The wonders of redeeming love;

No voice his glorious truth makes known,
Nor sings the bliss of climes above.

6. Silence, and solitude, and gloom,

In those forgetful realms appear;
Deep sorrows fill the dismal temb,

And hope shall never enter there.

201. Man frail—God's Love eterna?. [PS. 103. v. 1. THE mighty God, the wise and just,

Knows that our frame is feeble dust,
And will no heavy loads impose,
Beyond the strength that he bestows.
2. He knows how soon our nature dies,
Blasted by every wind that flies;
Like grass we spring, and die as soon,
Or morning flowers that fade at noon.
