4 Men of worldly, low design,
Let not these thy people join,
Till they nothing know beside
Jesus, and him crucified.

5 Save us from the great and wise,
Till they sink in their own eyes,
Tamely to thy yoke submit,
Lay their honours at thy feet.
6 Never let the world break in,
Fix a mighty gulf between;
Keep us lowly and unknown,
Priz'd and lov'd of thee alone.

388. 7's. Wesley's Coll. Prayer for Union and Holiness. JESUS, Lord, we look to thee,

Let us in thy name agree;
Show thyself the Prince of Peace,
Bid our jars for ever cease.

2 By thy reconciling love,

Every stumbling-block remove,
Each to each unite-endear;
Come, and spread thy banner here.

3 Make us of one heart and mind,
Courteous, pitiful and kind,
Lowly, meek in thought and word;
Make us like our blessed Lord.

4 Let us each for other care,
Each the other's burden bear,
To the world the pattern give,-
Show how true believers live.

5 Free from anger-free from pride,—
Let us thus in God abide;
All the depths of love express,
All the heights of holiness.

389. C. M.

Invitation to the Church.

ET all who love the Saviour's name,
Come forth and make it known,
Be buried in the yielding stream,
That sacred name to own.

2 Enter his courts with holy joy,
His pleasing rule obey,

And every power for him employ,
Through all life's future way.

3 Why will you longer stay behind?
Behold there still is room!

Let all who are by grace inclin'd,
Though trembling, rise and come.

Prayer at uniting with the Church. OUT of the world, O Lord, I come,

Thy precepts to obey;

To make thy church my future home,
While here on earth I stay.

2 All weakness, and unholy too,
Saviour, I dare not say,

I'll never cease thy will to do, "But grant I never may."

3 Grant me thy perfect love to know, That love in me reveal;

That I may honour thee below,

And with thee ever dwell

That breast which glows with love;
Room in the church, his chosen rest,
And room in heaven above.

When Jesus says, 'there's room?"
Now is the time, th' accepted day-
'Arise! he bids you come!'

Yield to the Lord, and thence receive
Whate'er a pardoning God can give.

WASH'D in the Saviour's cleansing blood,

Buried beneath the wave;

I now approach thy throne, my God,
And sing thy power to save.

To thee I all resign;

O take my flesh, my heart, my soul,
And make me wholly thine.

And thine for ever be;

Fain would I soar to worlds on high,
And lose myself in thee.

A hearty Welcome to Baptised Believers.
WELCOME here, our friend and brother,

W Welcome all our joys to share;

In the presence of our God.

Mutual light and strength impart;
While of Christ the Saviour talking,

As followers of the Lamb.
