5 If trials vex my mind,

Close to thy wounds I'll flee;
No refuge may I elsewhere find
No refuge but in thee.
6 To thee I recommend

My poor and trembling foul;
On thee for future grace depend,
Who art my all in all.

HYMN 384

MEEKNESS AND HUMILITY

I ORD, if thou the grace impart,
Poor in fpirit, meek in heart,

I fhall as my Master be,

Rooted in humility.

2 From the time that thee I know,
Nothing would I feek below;
Aim at nothing great or high,
Lowly both in heart and eye.
3 Simple, teachable, and mild,
Chang'd into a little child;
Pleas'd with all the LORD provides,
Wean'd from all the world befides.
4 Father, fix my foul on thee;
Ev'ry evil let me flee;

Nothing want beneath, above,
Happy in thy precious love.

5 O that all may feek, and find
Every good in JESUS join'd!
Him let Ifrael ftill adore,
Trust him, praise him evermore..

PSALM V.

I

O

N thee, O GOD of purity,

I wait for hallowing grace;)

None without holiness fhall fee
The glories of thy face:
In fouls unholy, and unclean,
Thou never canft delight;
Nor fhall they, while unfav'd from sin,
Appear before thy fight."

2 But as for me, with humble fear,
I will approach thy gate;
Though moft unworthy to draw near,
Or in thy courts to wait:
I truft in thine unbounded grace,
To all fo freely given

And worship t'ward thy holy place,
And lift my foul to heav'n,

3 Lead me in all thy righteous ways,
Nor fuffer me to flide;

Point out the path before my face;
My God, be thou my guide

O may I ne'er to evil yield,

Defended from above,

And kept, and cover'd with the shield.
Of thine almighty love.

HYMN 40.

BREATHING AFTER HOLINESS.

That the LORD wou'd guide my ways,
To keep his ftatutes ftill!

O that my GOD would give me grace,
To know and do his will

2 LORD, fend thy Spirit down to write
Thy law upon my heart!

t

Nor let my tongue indulge deceit,
Nor act a liar's part.

3 From vanity, LORD, turn mine eyes;
Let no corrupt defign,

No covetous defires arife
Within this foul of mine.

4 Order my footsteps by thy word,
And make my heart fincere ;
Let fin have no dominion, LORD,
But keep my confcience clear.

5 My foul hath gone too far aftray,
My feet too often flip;

I would not, LORD, forget thy way;
Bring back thy wand'ring fheep.

6 Make me to walk in thy commands,
'Tis a delightful road;

Nor let my head, my heart, or hands, Offend against my God.

HYMN 41.

PREVENTING GRACE.

F.T' haft thou, LORD, in tender love,
Prevented my request,

And fent thy Spirit from above,
An unexpected guest.

2 Oft when my pray'r was scarce begun,
Thou did't thy grace impart,
And make thy pard'ning mercy known,
And feal it on my heart.

3 Why this profufion of thy grace
On fuch a worm as me?
Father, I afk, in fixt amaze;
Explain the mystery.

4 How canft thou to a finner's cry
Incline thy pitying ear?

Thou hear'ft my Advocate on high,
And wilt for ever hear.

LUKE X. 39.

THE one thing needful, that good part, Which Mary chofe with all her heart, I wou'd purfue with heart and mind, And feek unweary'd till I find..

2 But, O! I'm blind and ignorant; The Spirit of the LORD I want To guide me in the narrow road, That leads to happiness and God.. 3 O LORD my Gon, to thee I pray ; Teach me to know, and find the way, How I may have my fins forgiv❜n, And fafe, and furely get to heav'n. 4 My mind enlighten with thy light,' That I may understand aright The glorious gofpel-mystery,

Which fhews the way to heav'n and thee. 5 Hidden in CHRIST the treasure lies, That goodly pearl of fo great price; No other way but CHRIST there is To endless happiness and bliss.,. 6 O JESUS CHRIST, my LORD and Gon, Who haft redeem'd me by thy blood; Unite my heart fo faft to thee,

1 hat we may never parted be.

A SINNER'S PRAYER.

WHEN, gracious LORD, when shall it be,

That I fhall find my all in thee;

The fulness of thy promise prove,

The feal of thine eternal love?

2 Thee, only thee, I fain wou'd find, And caft the world and flesh behind; s An helpless foul, I come to thee,

With only fin and mifery.
