An endless rest shall they enjoy; Their Jesus all their glory there,

And praise their lasting sweet employ.

6 But O! the doleful, dreadful end,

Of all their and their Saviour's foes; See! clouds of vengeance now impend, And soon shall burst in endless woes.

7 Then the opposers of the cross,

Must cease to sport, and sink to dwell
Among th' infernal howling ghosts,
In blackest shades of death and hell..

HYMN 197. C. M.

S. STENNETT.

The Penitent.

ROSTRATE, dear Jesus, at thy feet t
A guilty rebel lies;

And upwards to the mercy seat.
Presumes to lift his eyes.

2 O let not justice frown me hence : Stay, stay the vengeful storm: Forbid it that Omnipotence

Should crush a feeble worm.

3 If tears of sorrow would suffice

To pay the debt I owe,

Tears should from both my weeping eyes

In ceaseless torrents flow.

4 But no such sacrifice I plead
To expiate my guilt;

No tears, but those which thou hast shed,
No blood, but thou hast spilt.

R2

5 Think of thy sorrows, dearest Lord,
And all my sins forgive:
Justice will well approve the word,
That bids the sinner live.

HYMN 198. S. M.

The pool of Bethesda. John v. 2-9.

ESIDE the gospel pool

Appointed for the poor;

From time to time my helpless soul

Has waited for a cure.

2 How often have I seen
The healing waters move;
And others round me stepping in,
Their efficacy prove.

3 But my complaints remain,

I feel the very same;
As full of guilt, and fear, and pain,
As when at first I came.

4 How often have I thought
Why should I longer lie?
Surely the mercy I have sought
Is not for such as I.

[blocks in formation]

There is no other pool

Where streams of sovereign virtue flow,
To make a sinner whole.

6 Here then, from day to day,
I'll wait, and hope, and try :
Can Jesus hear a sinner pray,
Yet suffer him to die?

1

7 No: he is full of grace;
He never will permit

A soul, that fain would see his face,
To perish at his feet.

HYMN 199. L. M.

For Church Meeting.

OW we are met in holy fear, To hear the happy saints declare, The rich compassions of a God, The virtues of a Saviour's blood.

2 Jesus, assist them now to tell
What they have felt and now they feel;
O Saviour help them to express
The wonders of triumphant grace.

3 While to the church they freely own
What for their souls the Lord hath done,
We'd join to praise eternal love,
And heighten all the joys above.

WAKE, arise, O saints and view
As shepherds in Jewry were guard-
ing their sheep,

Am I a soldier of the cross,
All hail the power of Jesus' name,
Alas! and did my Saviour bleed ?
Arise, my soul, with wonder see,
Awake my soul, in joyful lays,
As when the child secure of harms,
Ah! me my heart's the seat of war,
Almighty love inspire

All flesh is grass the prophet cry'd,
Awak'd by Sinai's awful sound,

EHOLD a lovely vine,

Blessed be my God that I was born,

Before thy throne eternal king,.

Blow ye the trumpet blow;
