2 Yours is a fad, a dangerous cafe;
Be humble and repent:

Mercy, you'll find, tho' e'er fo bafe,
If truly penitent.

Sinners are fav'd by JESU's blood,
How vile foe'er they be;
Eternal life's the gift of God;
And gifts are always free.

4 'Tis not by works of righteousness
Which any man has done;

But God has fent the Sun to blefs:
Return and kifs the Son.

HYMN 193.

H

ERE at thy crofs, my dying GoD,
I lay my foul beneath thy love,
Beneath the droppings of thy blood,
JESUS, nor fall it e'er remove.
2 Not all the tyrants think or fay,
With rage and lightning in their eyes,
Nor hell fhall fright my heart away,
Shou'd hell, with all its legions rife.

3 Shou'd worlds confpire to drive me hence,
Movelefs and firm this heart thou'd lie;
Refolv'd (for that's my last defence)
If I must perifh, there to die.

4 But fpack, my LORD, and calm my fear
Am I not fate beneath thy fhade ?
Thy vengeance will not ftrike me here,
Nor Satan dares my foul invade.

And all my foes fhall lofe their aim:
Hofanna to my dying God,
And my best honours to his name.

HYMN 197.

THE PROMIS'D LAND. ISA. XXXII. 17.

FARU

AR from thefe narrow fcenes of night,
Unbounded glories rife,
And realms of infinite delight,
Unknown to mortal eyes

2 There pain and fickness never come,
And grief no more complains;
Health triumphs in immortal bloom,
And endless pleasure reigns..

3 No clouds those blifsful regions know, For ever bright and fair!

For fin, the fource of mortal woe,
Can never enter there.

4 There no alternate night is known,
Nor fun's faint fickly ray;
But glory from the facred throne
Spreads everlasting day.

5 O may the heav'nly profpect fire

Our hearts with ardent love, H Till wings of faith and ftrong defire Bear ev'ry thought above.

6 Prepare us, LORD, by

For thy bright court race divine

on high

Then bid our fpirits rife and join
The chorus of the sky.
