4 Servants, ferve your masters truly;
Not unfaithful, nor unruly,

To the good-nor to the bad;
Not refufing what you're bidden;
Nor replying when you're chidden;
'Tis the ordinance of GOD.

5 This fhall folve th' important queftion, Whether thou'rt a real chriftian,

Better than each golden dream

Better far than lip-expreffion,
Tow'ring notions, great profeffion,
This fhall fhew your love to him.

HYMN 178..

PSALM C.

Before JEHOVAH's awful throne,

Ye nations, bow with facred joy;
Know that the LORD is GOD alone,
He can create, and he destroy.

2 His fov'reign pow'r, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and form'd us men!
And when like wand'ring fheep we stray'd,
He brought us to his fold again.

3 fongs,
High as the heav'ns our voices raife;
And earth with her ten thousand tongues
Shall fill thy courts with founding praise.

We'll croud thy gates with t

4 Wide as the world is thy command;
Vaft as eternity thy love;

Firm as a rock thy truth must ftand,
When rolling years shall cease to move.

HYMN 179.

I COM

REDEEMING LOVE.

OME, heavenly love, inspire my song
With thy immortal flame;

And teach my heart, and teach my tongue,
The Saviour's lovely name.

2 The Saviour! O what endless charms
Dwell in the blissful found!
Its influence ev'ry fear difarms,
And spreads fweet comfort round.

3 Here pardon, life, and joys divine,
In rich effufion flow,

For guilty rebels loft in fin,

And doom'd to endless woe.

4 GOD's only Son, (ftupendous grace!)
Forfook his throne above;
And fwift to fave our wretched race,
He flew on wings, of love..

5 Th' almighty Former of the skies
Stoop'd to our vile abode;

While angels view'd with wond'ring eyes,
And hail'd th' incarnate GOD.

6 O the rich depths of love divine!
Of blifs a boundless store:

Dear Saviour, let me call thee mine,
I cannot wifh for more.

7 On thee alone my hope relies,
Beneath thy cross I fall;
My LORD, my life, my facrifice,
My Saviour, and my all.

HYMN 180.

ET worldly minds the world purfue,
It has no charms for me;

Once I admir'd its trifles too,

But grace has fet me free.

2 Its pleasures now no longer pleafe,
No more content afford;
Far from my heart be joys like these,
Now I have known the LORD.

3 As by the light of op'ning day,
The stars are all conceal'd;
So earthly pleasures fade away,
When JESUS is reveal'd.

4 Creatures no more divide my choice,
I bid them all depart;

His name, and love, and gracious voice,
Have fix'd my roving heart.

5 Now, LORD, I would be thine alone, And wholly live to thee;

But may I hope that thou wilt own
A worthlefs worm like me!

6 Yes, tho' of finners I'm the worst,
I cannot doubt thy will;

For if thou hadst not lov'd me first, I had refus'd thee ftillas fi

HYMN 181

CHRISTIAN LOVE.

1

ET party names no more
The chriftian world o'erspread;
Gentile and Jew, and bond and free,
Are one in CHRIST their head..

2 Among the faints on earth
Let mutual love be found;
Heirs of the fame inheritance,
With mutual bleffings crown'd.

3

Let envy and ill-will

Be banifh'd far away;

Those shou'd in strictest friendship dwell, Who the fame LORD obey.

4

Thus will the church below

Refemble that above,

Where streams of pleasure ever flow,

And ev'ry heart is love.

HYMN 182. THE SAME.

I JESU, LORD, we look to thee,
Let us in thy name agree;
Shew thyself the Prince of peace,
Bid all jars for ever cease.

2 By thy reconciling love

3

Ev'ry ftumbling-block remove;
Each to each unite, endear;
Come, and spread thy banner here.

Make us of one heart and mind,
Courteous, pitiful and kind,

Lowly, meek in thought and word,
Altogether like our LORD.

4 Let us each for other care,
Each another's burden bear;
To thy church the pattern give,
Shew how true believers live.

5 Let us then with joy remove
To thy family above,

On the wings of angels fly,
Shew how true believers die.
