5 The gospel trumpet hear, 6 Jesus, our great high priest, Ye mourning souls, be glad : 8 The year of jubilee is come, Return, ye ransomed sinners, home! TOPLADY. HYMN 133. C. M. Zion. Hymn 2d. [* b] The Lord's Prayer. 1F Who dwell'st in heaven adored; But present still through all thy works, 2 Forever hallowed be thy name, And may thy kingdom still advance, 3 Thy glorious purpose, Lord, fulfill; And, as in heaven thy will is done, 4 Our wants with every morning grow, And on our souls the BREAD bestow 5 Our sins before thee we confess; As we to others mercy show, 6 Still let thy grace our life direct; And in temptation's fatal path 7 For thine's the power, the kingdom thine, All glory's due to thee: Thine from eternity they were, 1 And thine shall ever be. HYMN 134. L. M. Armley. [b*] WHAT various hind'rances we meet, In coming to a mercy seat! Yet who that knows the worth of prayer, 2 Prayer makes the darkened cloud withdraw; Gives exercise to faith and love, 3 Restraining prayer, we cease to fight; The weakest saint upon his knees. e 4 While Moses stood with arms spread wide, But when through weariness they failed, 5 Have you no words? Ah, think again; With the sad tale of all your care. 6 Were half the breath thus vainly spent, COWPER. HYMN 135. 7s. Fairfax. [*] 1 IN themselves as weak as stand, How can poor believers stand, When temptations, foes, and storms, Press them close on every hand? 2 Weak indeed they feel they are, But they know the throne of grace; And the God, who answers prayer, Helps them when they seek his face. 3 Though the Lord awhile delay, Succour they at length obtain ; He who taught their hearts to pray, 4 Wrestling prayer can wonders do, 1 NEWTON HYMN 136. C. M. Bangor. [b] Public Fast. Joel i. 14. EE, gracious Lord, before thy throne, "Tis on thy sovereign grace alone, Our humble hopes depend. e 2 Tremendous judgments, from thy hand, Thy dreadful powers display; Р Yet mercy spares this guilty land, 3 How changed, alas! are truths divine, What impious numbers, bold in sin, 4 O turn us, turn us, mighty Lord, Then shall our hearts obey thy word, o 5 Then, should insulting foes invade, o Secure of never-failing aid, 1 When God, our God, is near. STEELE. HYMN 137. C. M. Wantage. [b] Public Fast. Gen. xviii. 23–32. W Before Jehovah stood; Abrah'm, full of sacred awe, And with a humble fervent prayer, For guilty Sodoin sued : 2 With what success, what wondrous grace Was his petition crowned! The Lord would spare, if in that place Ten righteous men were found. 3 And could a single holy soul Great God, and shall a nation pray, o 4 Still we are thine-we bear thy name; Here yet is thine abode; o Long has thy presence blessed our landForsake us not, O God! e e 1 SCOTT. HYMN 138. L. M. Worship. [b] Public Fast. Ezek. ix. 4-6. RIGHTEOUS God, thou Judge supreme, We tremble at thy dreadful name! And all our crying guilt we own, In dust and tears before thy throne. e 2 So manifold our crimes have been, Such crimson tincture dyes our sin, That, could we all its horrors know, Our streaming eyes with blood might flow. o 3 Estranged from reverential awe, We trample on thy sacred law: p And though such wonders grace has done, Anew we crucify thy Son. e 4 Justly might this polluted land Prove all the vengeance of thy hand; a And bathed in heaven, thy sword might come, e 5 Yet hast thou not a remnant here, With these we join our humble prayer; Our nation shield, our country spare.

Mic. vi. 1-3. el LISTEN, ye hills; ye mountains, hear; Jehovah vindicates his laws; Trembling in silence at his bar, Thou earth, attend thy Maker's cause. d 2 Israel, appear; present thy plea; e 3 Eternal Judge, the action cease; Our lips are sealed in conscious shame; b 'Tis ours in sackcloth to confess, -And thine, the sentence to proclaim. 4 Ten thousand witnesses arise; Thy mercies and our crimes appear More than the stars that deck the skies, And all our dreadful guilt declare. e 5 How shall we come before thy face, And in thine awful presence bow? What offerings can secure thy grace, Or calm the terrors of thy brow? e 6 Thousands of rams in vain might bleed; Rivers of oil might blaze in vain; Or the first-born's devoted head With horrid gore thine altar stain. -7 But thy own Lamb, all-gracious God, Whom impious sinners dared to slay: o Has sovereign virtue in his blood To purge the nation's guilt away. -8 With humble faith to that we fly, With that may we be sprinkled o'er; Trembling no more in dust we lie, And dread thy hand and bar no more.
