Into eternal fire;"

But kindly bid you to my wounds,
Where troubled fouls retire.

4 Come to the balm: behold the Lamb,
Which for your fins was flain :
Come flocking to my healing blood,
Which eafes fouls of pain.

5 No more refift my preffing calls,
Your fouls to me up-give:
O dying men, my voice regard,
And you fhall ever live.
60 rebels to my fceptre bow,
Your weapons caft away;
Come to me in this day of grace,
And make no more delay.

7 For, lo! the flaming fword is drawn,
And fhaken o'er your head :
If divine Justice be provok'd,
The blow will ftrike you dead.
8 Comply then with my Spirit's work,
In your hearts give me room:
In ftraits you'll find me ftill a friend,
I'll bring you fafely home.

HYMN XXIX.

Fitnefs for the GOSPEL-FEAST.

I WILL God let worms approach to him,

Heav'n's manna for to taste;
Yea, call a piece of duft and fin
To fit at Jefu's feast?

2 Come, holy, holy, holy Lord,
Who lov'd us when undone;

Come, thou united myftic Three,

Unite us all in One.

3 Come, Prince of love and peace, with pow'r
Our grudges all remove;

Come join our hearts, and make us fit
To keep the feaft of love.

O thed thy love abroad :
And may we Jefus all embrace
As our own Lord and God.

'HYMN XXXII.

The MOURNING Penitent.

1 WITH low abasement I reflect
On my original;

I fee my nature black and ftain'd
By my first parents fall.

2 In fin and guilt I was conceiv'd
Before I first drew breath,

And early was expos'd unto

Both first and fecond death.

3 My heart and life fin doth corrupt,
Yea, makes my heart as stone;
It makes me flight God's remedy:
My folly I bemone.

4 How awful is the thund'ring voice
From Sinai's flaming mount,

To criminals who break God's laws,
Of crimes here's your account!

5 With trembling this would fill my foul,
And even strike me dead,

Did I not fee on Zion mount

The Lamb for fin that bled.
6 A finner I, thro' Adam's fall,
Have lost my way to bliss:
When God a new way doth reveal,
Forbid this way I miss.

7 Unto this way I mourning look,
No other help I know :

If thou declinest helping me,
O whither shall I go ?

8 Thy word faith, I should not defpond,
But plead and keep in mind

The blood and bowels of the Lamb,
Who is loft mankind's friend.

HYMN XXXIII.

The Penitent Sinner's Hope.

1 IN Jefu's name a penitent
Doth at God's footstool ly;
My fins I do confefs and mourn,
And for free mercy cry.

2 Chrift bids me afk, and feek, and knock,
And promifeth I'll find:
Thus I feek pardon and relief;
Lord, eafe my grieved mind.
3 Chrift's blood and merit is alone
The ground on which I plead
With God, that I may mercy find
In this my time of need.

4 The doctrine of free grace I plead,
Which thy dear gofpel founds,
And tender love to penitents
That flows from Jefu's wounds.
5 Since Christ our furety paid the debt,
That fouls condemn'd might live;
With honour to thy justice now,
Great fins thou canft forgive.
6 Where should I go with all my fins
But to Redeeming blood?

Thousands have try'd it, and are wash'd;
The fountain's large and good.

7 I plead thy blood, and ancient love;
I humbly own my guilt:
Was it not for fuch ftraying fheep
The Shepherd's blood was fpilt?
8 That trembling woman in diftrefs
To Chrift was fear'd to come :
She touch'd his hem; he heal'd her foon,
And fent her joyful home.
